Thousand Below Release Incendiary New Single “Kerosene”; New Album “Buried In Jade” Out August 8 via Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG
Ahead of the release of their highly-anticipated fourth studio album "Buried In Jade", Post-hardcore trailblazers Thousand Below have dropped the incendiary new single “Kerosene”. Pairing glitchy electronic synths, guttural screams, ethereal vocal melodies and arena-ready hooks — “Keresone” is the definition of a barn burner track perfect for those days when you need a serious pick me up and a spark to light the fire.
The latest single is the second offering from the bands upcoming fourth studio album, "Buried In Jade", set for release on August 8th via Pale Chord/Rise Records BMG. This new chapter follows the stunning 2022 release, "Hell Finds You Everywhere", and builds on the momentum of their recent single “Palace Of Dread”, released last month — as well as their 2024 singles “SHAKE” and “Wrong Again”, which introduced a fresh and infectious edge to their ever-evolving sound.
Speaking on the new track “Kerosene”, vocalist James DeBerg shares: “We’re so excited for the release of our 2nd single “Kerosene”. This track was written in the very thick of our album development and we knew it was a stand-out song for us from the moment we finished it. We felt this song was the perfect mix of heavy energy and heartfelt melody lending itself to the original intention of why we started this band in the first place. The song has modern textures and instrumental focus in new fashions for us, but still follows the feel of our original genesis when the band first got started".
Additionally, DeBerg reveals the excitement behind the band’s powerful forthcoming album "Buried In Jade": “The entire creative process for this record was a perfect storm for us from start to finish and the team of friends we worked with to produce this album helped us create something special that we could really fall in love with. The last record we released was our ‘covid lockdown’ record which we made mostly in our own homes – so getting back into the studio and making a proper album was incredibly refreshing as well as rewarding for our team.
This album is a diary of everything in my life that I can’t control, and a journal of the fall out of mental frustration that comes along with battling such futilities in my head. Jade jewelry carries the significant meaning of luck, prosperity, protection, and is supposed to invite abundant wealth into one’s life. The thought of being buried in jade would hold a symbolic futility and situational irony that I felt was a befitting title for this ‘diary’ of songs for this portion of my existence”.
Buried In Jade" stands as a career-defining moment for Thousand Below, distilling nearly a decade of sonic exploration into a cohesive yet diverse body of work. The album spans multiple sonic spectrums from crushing metalcore anthems and hook-heavy modern pop elements to atmospheric rock, heartfelt ballads, and the band’s signature post-hardcore roots. It's a bold step forward—both sonically and thematically—for a band unafraid to grow beyond genre lines.
Produced by Austin Coupe (The Devil Wears Prada, Citizen, nothing, nowhere) — as well as Josh Gilbert on select tracks (“Palace Of Dread” “The Quiet And Cold”) and mixed by Joseph McQueen, Buried In Jade captures the essence of Thousand Below’s past while boldly forging their future.
Having shared the stage with an eclectic mix of musical acts including Bad Omens, Senses Fail, Nothing More, Citizen Soldier and Holding Absence, among many others, Thousand Below have amassed a diverse and dedicated audience, making a name for themselves across the globe due to their relatable music, incendiary live shows, charismatic stage presence and powerful crowd engagement. Additionally, the band has appeared at several major music festivals including Inkcarceration, Louder Than Life, Blue Ridge Rock Festival, and Aftershock.
