Metalband Fit For An Autopsy is thrilled to share ‘Hostage’, the lead single from their forthcoming album The Nothing That Is. Fans can watch the new music video (directed by Eric Richter) now here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5yvijpC0xU. The Nothing That Is is set to be released on October 25th via Nuclear Blast and is available for pre-order/pre-save at https://ffaa.bfan.link/the-nothing-that-is.
The band shares: “‘Hostage’ is an examination of the human trauma and grief one carries through life. The inability to escape events of the past combined with the feeling of an increasingly dark future can weigh on a person like nothing else. This song is intended to capture that complex and overwhelming emotion and conveys the negative side of a sorrowed existence.”
In addition to announcing their new album, Fit For An Autopsy recently shared details of their European headline run. Featuring special guests SYLOSIS , DARKEST HOUR and HERIOT, the tour kicks off on November 22nd in London, UK.

About Fit For An Autopsy: Success hasn’t spoiled Fit For An Autopsy—but as any fan of the New Jersey metal sextet could tell you, there was never much chance of that happening in the first place. Fit For An Autopsy’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band—vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer JoseanOrta—simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, Fit For An Autopsy’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration and crushing despair. Songs like “Hostage”, “Red Horizon”, “Lower Purpose”, and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer “The Silver Sun” reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting ,The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, TheNothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, its bracing music delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, Fit For An Autopsy have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.
