Electron released their latest single "Echoes Of A Dying World" on March 28th, 2025.

The experience of not fitting into society and living on the fringe is something that many people can resonate with, and London-based metalcore band Electron provide a voice for the disenchanted through their powerful modern metal sound.
The band have received acclaim publications like Total Rock, PowerPlay Magazine, BraveWords, Express FM, Emerging Rock Bands, MetalNoise.Net and many more, and this unifying call for listeners to embrace who they are offers an authentic message of solidarity and a place to belong.
New single ‘Echoes of a Dying World’ is a track that fully encapsulates that ethos, defying societal pressures to conform and chase other people’s superficial ideas of perfection. The band continue to channel influences from post-grunge, metalcore and the alternative sphere on the new to craft a sound that feels as hard-hitting as it is defiant, embodying a powerful feeling of nihilism and frustration with a world in decline.
Universal feelings such as longing for emotional connection and battling with internal struggles and social isolation offer a vulnerability and honesty that will only strengthen their bond with listeners, reflecting on the human condition and offering a sense of belonging and kinship to anybody who feels lost in a world that feels increasingly unkind and unforgiving.
Says frontman Jason Payne:
“‘Echoes of a Dying World’ is a sonic journey through destruction and rebirth, reflecting themes of loss, resilience, and the struggle for identity. It’s a song that demands to be felt as much as it is heard.”
The band’s message feels as pronounced and as vital as ever on the new single, and its deeply
personal and honest nature sets it apart in a sea of talented and engrossing modern metal bands who are populating an increasingly healthy scene right now.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10
"It's hard to believe it's been over a year since we last featured Electron on Novacaine with their powerful 2024 release, Defiance. What a thrill it is to welcome them back to the spotlight!"
"With their new single Echoes of a Dying World, Electron once again prove they're a force to be reckoned with. The band has clearly been hard at work, honing their sound to something even more massive, refined, and emotionally resonant. This latest track is a bold evolution—cinematic, intense, and unforgettable. It's not hard to imagine Electron headlining a future Novacaine Festival. They're not just rising—they’re soaring."
