The video of “Orphan Son” perfectly captures what playing on stage means for AGARWAEN. Their live shows are a blend of theatre and music, enhanced by real actors, with each song featuring its own script and props. They are constantly finding ways to improve what happens on the stage and come up with more small details to amaze the audience.

Placed as #4 in the tracklist, “Orphan Son” starts where the previous track & single “God Complex” has finished. Anton’s mother was killed. She signed a paper where she stated that she had committed a suicide and the school boys had nothing to do with this. Anton couldn’t stand the fact that the boys got away with this…He had no other relatives but his uncle, but he lived in a graveyard….And that is no place for a young boy…

AGARWAEN’s upcoming album “The Murder Trend” deals with abuse, trauma, revenge, and inherited madness. Told as a chronological horror narrative, the album follows Anton, a boy broken by systemic cruelty, whose life spirals from neglect and violence into ritualized murder in a circus set and cult indoctrination. What begins as social tragedy evolves into something far more grotesque: a generational curse embodied through masks and a carnival of death.

“The Murder Trend” moves between cinematic instrumentals, relentless extreme metal, crazy combinations of different styles, and theatrical passages that underline the story’s psychological collapse. It’s groovy, it’s progressive, violent as hell and yet brings a twisted smile on your face when you listen to it.

The album was mastered by Grammy Award - winning Svante Forsbäck, produced by Emma Award–winning Teemu Aalto, and will be released on July 3rd, 2026. Pre-order the album as CD/digital on the label’s Bandcamp page: https://tinyurl.com/jauus3tr
