Boston-based metalcore band Living Weapon announced the release of their first full-length album, titled *Death In The Family* [1, 2].
The announcement marks a significant transition for the group as they move from shorter releases to a complete studio LP. The project is led by Jonathan Lhaubouet, who also serves as the bassist and backing vocalist for the band Vein.fm [1, 2].
To accompany the album news, the band premiered a new single titled "The Leaving Process" [1, 2, 3]. This release follows the group's initial entry into the Boston music scene, which began with the release of the *Paradise* EP in 2021 [1].
Lhaubouet's leadership of the outfit brings a distinct perspective to the local metalcore landscape. The band has previously been described as having "crashed" into the scene with their earlier work [1].
While the group has maintained a presence through their EP, this debut album represents their first major long-form recording [1, 2]. The project aims to expand upon the sonic foundation established by the band's earlier contributions to the genre [1].
Details regarding the full release date and tracklist for *Death In The Family* were not provided in the initial announcement [1, 2]. However, the premiere of "The Leaving Process" serves as the primary introduction to the album's overall sound and direction [1, 3].
“Living Weapon announced the release of their first full-length album, titled Death In The Family.”
The transition from an EP to a full-length debut is a pivotal moment for independent metalcore acts, signaling a shift toward more complex songwriting and a formalized identity. By leveraging Lhaubouet's existing visibility within Vein.fm, Living Weapon is positioned to bridge the gap between established scene veterans and new listeners in the Boston heavy music circuit.
