“…one of the most exciting young bands in death metal…” — Metal Injection
“Sweet Suicide” is the new single from 200 STAB WOUNDS. The latest bruiser comes by way of the band’s punishing Lowest Form full-length, set for release on February 19th, 2027 through Metal Blade Records.
Rooted in the same old-school brutality that has defined 200 STAB WOUNDS from the beginning, Lowest Form delivers leaner arrangements, stronger dynamics and a broader sense of atmosphere without sacrificing an ounce of intensity. The riffs hit harder because they’re given room to breathe, the pacing shifts naturally between explosive violence and simmering tension and every song carries its own distinct identity while serving the momentum of the record as a whole. The result is an album that feels unmistakably rooted in classic death metal while showcasing a band whose songwriting has reached a new level of focus and sophistication.
“Sweet Suicide” delivers one of the album’s most devastating moments. The band comments, “This song is about anger, despair, confusion, and conquering your own demons. Whether it’s your own, or trying to help someone get through theirs. This song is probably one of the heaviest on the record and discusses what is sometimes an even heavier topic. Enjoy at your own risk!”
200 STAB WOUNDS’ “Sweet Suicide” video was produced by NOWHERE2RUN, the production company of Code Orange’s Jami Morgan and Eric Balderose.

Since their arrival, 200 STAB WOUNDS has established themselves as one of the most exciting forces in modern death metal through relentless touring, a powerful live presence, and an unwavering dedication to crafting songs as memorable as they are punishing. With Lowest Form, Steve Buhl (vocals, guitars), Raymond Macdonald (guitars), Todd Thompson (bass), and Owen Pooley (drums) build upon that foundation with their strongest collection of songs yet, balancing relentless aggression with more dynamic pacing, memorable arrangements and a heightened sense of tension that rewards repeat listens.
Lowest Form was produced, mixed, and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera), features artwork by James Bousema (Municipal Waste, Frozen Soul), and finds the band sharpening their signature blend of brutal death metal, massive riffs, and unforgettable hooks through more confident, dynamic songwriting.
