STALEMATE OF WILLS FEATURED IN Metal Injection WEEKLY INJECTION ALONGSIDE HEAVY HITTERS AS THEY UNLEASH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM EXISTENCE DENIED — OUT NOW VIA FFTC RECORDS

Appearing in “New Releases Out This Week – 5/1” | Stream the Crushing Single “Two Worlds” Now

Pittsburgh, PA — Doom-laden heaviness just kicked the door in. Rising underground force Stalemate of Wills have officially released their debut full-length album, Existence Denied , out now via FFTC Records. Loaded with suffocating riffs, bleak atmosphere, and raw emotional weight, the record puts this trio firmly on the map in the Doomcore and Sludge underground.

The band is already gaining serious traction, landing a feature in the Weekly Injection from Metal Injection as part of the “New Releases Out This Week – 5/1” roundup. They’re in strong company too, appearing alongside heavyweights like Sevendust and The Claypool Lennon Delirium , as well as a stacked lineup including -(16)-, Cage Fight, Health, Cognizance, Infected Dead, and Spell. Not a bad table to be sitting at.

Leading the charge is the album’s standout single, “Two Worlds,” a crushing introduction to the band’s sound. Built on down-tuned groove, punishing atmosphere, and emotionally charged vocals, the track hits like a cinder block to the chest and lingers long after it’s over.

Listen to “Two Worlds” now:

Drawing influence from sludge legends like Crowbar , Kingdom of Sorrow , and Down , Stalemate of Wills blend old-school weight with a modern edge. Their mantra of delivering “heavy riffs for a withering world” rings loud across Existence Denied , a record that dives into themes of internal collapse and external decay without pulling punches.

The trio lineup includes:
Derek Frustration – Guitar/Vocals
Jake Morris – Bass
Bob McSherry – Drums

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Eric Klinger , the album delivers a raw but clear punch, capturing the band’s intensity without sanding off the grit.

With Existence Denied now out in the wild and already rubbing shoulders with major names, Stalemate of Wills are proving they’ve got the weight, the grit, and the songs to back it up.

For fans of: Crowbar, Kingdom of Sorrow, Down
Genre: Doomcore / Sludgecore / Doom Metal / Sludge Metal
