Australian blackened hardcore outfit I EXIST have revealed their latest single "Sorrow on the 105," which can be streamed HERE. The track -- which Stereogum says "has the bark, bulk, and swagger to match any tough-guy hardcore act on Southern Lord’s roster, but the guitars bring a deep groove and sweeping grandeur worthy of High On Fire or Mastodon" -- appears on their newest effort "From Darkness," which will be released digitally in North America on Dec. 3. Recorded with Blood Duster's Jason Fuller (King Parrot, Mindsnare) in Melbourne and mixed at South Carolina's Jam Room by Jay Matheson and Kylesa's Phillip Cope (Baroness, Black Tusk), the album features 13 tracks of doom-infested, sludgy, metallic hardcore.

The sextet's 2012 Prosthetic debut, "II: The Broken Passage," was praised as a "toxic mudslide of sludge, stoner rock, doom metal and hardcore" (Outburn) and saw the band complete tours alongside acts including Every Time I Die, Psycroptic, Doomriders, Eyehategod, Black Breath and Russian Circles.
