Official press release:
Irish metallers Survivalist release their long-awaited new album A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone via Seek and Strike, alongside a new single and video for the album’s title track. With this release, Survivalist continue to carve out a singular space in modern heavy music, refining their self-described groove-core sound, a visceral fusion of crushing riffs, climactic breakdowns and melody, bound together by unflinching emotional weight.

Commenting on the single, Survivalist said:
“This track is the most honest snapshot of who we are right now and what this record represents. The album is heavy, dark and aggressive, but it’s also meant to be a refuge, a place you can turn to no matter what headspace you’re in. Whether you need to vent anger, sit with sadness or just feel understood. ‘A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone’ captures the anguish, stress and mental weight behind the entire writing process, while setting the tone for the variety across the record.”
Forged through personal struggle, lived experience and a raw response to the world as it is, A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone stands as Survivalist’s most focused and ambitious release to date. Written without boundaries or compromise, the album confronts themes of loneliness, isolation and mental health head-on, while allowing each track to exist as its own emotional reckoning. Brutal, dark and aggressive at its core, the record is equally intended as a sanctuary, a place to release anger, sit with sadness or simply feel less alone.
The album marks the band’s first release with Seek & Strike, following years of self-releasing their music. On signing to the label, Survivalist commented:
“We’re absolutely delighted to sign to Seek and Strike. We’ve always wanted to do this properly and take it as far as we can go, not just for ourselves, but to help shine a light on the heavy and alternative scene in Ireland, which we feel deserves far more recognition. After self-releasing all of our music, we knew the next step was finding the right partner. A label that genuinely believed in our vision. From the very first conversation, it was clear that Seek and Strike were exactly that. Being a part of a label that’s helped grow bands we listen to is incredibly motivating and it truly feels like a mutual partnership. We couldn’t be happier to be part of the Seek and Strike family.”
Survivalist and Existentialist join forces for The Intimidation Across The Isles Tour in spring 2026. The run will see the bands cross the UK and Ireland, joined by close friends Suffer on all dates, with death metal legends Foetal Juice appearing in Belfast and Dublin. These shows mark Survivalist’s only Irish headline performances of 2026, with more announcements and surprises still to come.
