Feb. 17, 2025 — Doomsday Profit (Durham, N.C.) is pleased to announce the release of “Monument to Nothing,” the second single in a planned monthly release schedule that will culminate in the Sept. 19 release of the band’s self-titled full-length album.
First heard as a raw rehearsal cut on 2020’s Abandon Hope (Demo), “Monument to Nothing” has long been a staple of Doomsday Profit’s live sets — often as a chaotic climax to the show. At long last, the band is proud to release a proper studio recording of the fan favorite song.
“Monument to Nothing” is for all those moments when it seems the odds are stacked a mile high against you, when the encroaching forces of the (literal or figurative) oppressor are stomping over all you hold dear and claiming it for their own. Join us in the catharsis of creative destruction as this hard-grooving song swells into an extended outro, building itself up and just as quickly crumbling into debris. Nothing left behind.
About Doomsday Profit
There’s no time to waste. At least that’s how Doomsday Profit seems to be operating. After making their debut with the gritty stoner-sludge of 2021’s In Idle Orbit, the Durham, N.C.-based band issued 2024’s psych-leaning split with Virginia-based Smoke, and has kept the momentum going ever since. With their forthcoming self-titled album, Doomsday profit now has embedded an even wider array of influences into their acerbic, dystopian sludge. Particles of monolithic doom, grisly death ‘n’ roll grooves, driving punk rock and scathing black metal all flash in the band’s raw self-titled LP.
As ever, Doomsday Profit has a finger pointed squarely at the powers that be, but they’ve also learned to turn their ire inward, and balance their vitriol with melancholic nuance. This broader approach has turned their already dynamic performances into a must-see, with a live resume that includes Hopscotch Music Festival and Seismic Summer, as well as supporting slots with established acts like Thou, The Obsessed, Black Tusk, REZN, and Restless Spirit.
On this recording, Doomsday Profit is: Bryan Reed (rhythm guitar/vocals), Kevin See (lead guitar/vocals), Ryan Sweeney (bass/vocals), and David Ruiz (drums).
