BLACKMARKET
is set to Release Single
‘Radical Views’

BlackMarket – Radical Views

UK heavy music force BlackMarket continue their rapid ascent with the release of their explosive new single ‘Radical Views‘, arriving on May 22nd ahead of the band’s highly anticipated EP of the same name, due one week later on May 29th.
Fierce, confrontational, and loaded with raw intensity, the new material sees BlackMarket pushing their sound into darker and heavier territory without losing the sharp identity that first put them on the radar of the UK alternative scene.
The momentum surrounding the band has been building steadily.
Their previous single ‘Asphyxiate‘ earned widespread attention, including a coveted Single of the Week title from Metal Hammer, while also receiving strong support across radio and media platforms.
But with ‘Radical Views‘, BlackMarket sound less interested in repeating themselves than in amplifying every aggressive and emotionally charged element of their music.
Driven by urgent riffs, pounding drums, and an atmosphere thick with frustration and tension, the track captures the controlled chaos that has become central to the band’s evolving sound.
Vocalist Fraser Burrow describes the single as heavily inspired by the relentless energy of Stray From The Path, combining crushing rhythmic precision with an uncompromising emotional intensity.
The result is a track that feels immediate and volatile, balancing groove, aggression, and modern heaviness with striking confidence.
That same spirit runs throughout the upcoming ‘Radical Views‘ EP, which expands BlackMarket’s sonic identity far beyond straightforward heavy rock.
While the band’s core DNA remains intact, the new material leans much harder into metallic influences, embracing darker atmospheres, sharper edges, and more dynamic songwriting.
Rather than chasing genre trends, BlackMarket appear focused on sharpening their own hybrid sound into something heavier, bolder, and more emotionally charged.
What makes the band particularly compelling is their refusal to sit comfortably within one musical category.
Across the EP, moments of crushing heaviness collide with melody, tension, and emotionally driven performances, creating music that feels both aggressive and deeply human.
There is a sense of urgency throughout these songs, as if BlackMarket are not simply performing anger or frustration, but actively trying to channel the pressure and uncertainty of the modern world into something cathartic and powerful.
With ‘Radical Views‘, BlackMarket are not just raising the bar for themselves.
They are establishing themselves as one of the more fearless and forward-moving names emerging from the current UK heavy music landscape.

British heavy outfit BlackMarket return with a new burst of intensity in the form of their latest single and video, ‘Asphyxiate‘, arriving on March 27.
The track serves as the first major preview of the band’s upcoming EP ‘Radical Views‘, scheduled for release on May 29, and offers another glimpse into the group’s evolving take on modern heavy music.
Rooted in the groove-heavy foundations of nu metal but sharpened with contemporary aggression, BlackMarket blend pounding rhythms, deep electronic textures, and anthemic vocal delivery into a sound that feels both familiar and forward-looking.
Their music draws on the scale and extremity associated with Lorna Shore, the rhythmic urgency of Fever 333, the driving energy of Stray From the Path, and the uncompromising heaviness of Knocked Loose.
The result is a dense yet focused blend of groove, atmosphere, and raw power that reflects the band’s determination to carve out their own lane within the modern heavy scene.
Vocalist Fraser Burrow describes the forthcoming EP as a statement of intent.
According to him, ‘Radical Views‘ is designed to highlight the band’s full range, balancing their signature electronics and sharp lyrical approach with a deeper dive into their metal influences.
The material, he explains, channels frustration and intensity into something heavier and more direct than before.
Before the EP arrives, however, ‘Asphyxiate‘ sets the tone.
Built around punishing guitar riffs, militant drum patterns, and a vocal performance that shifts between feral aggression and controlled menace, the track pushes BlackMarket into even heavier territory.
Burrow cites inspiration from extreme metal vocalists such as Will Ramos, noting that the band deliberately explored the outer limits of their vocal range while crafting the song’s confrontational sound.
Known for their energetic and immersive live shows, BlackMarket translate the same intensity from the studio to the stage, turning groove-driven compositions into high-impact performances.
With ‘Radical Views‘ on the horizon, the band appear determined to continue expanding their genre-blending identity – cementing their place among the new generation shaping the UK’s modern heavy music landscape.
