In the first month of release, Kaine’s new album, Extinctions End, was streamed a total of 26,610 times, as it reached number 90 in the top 100 albums (UK Official Charts). This is the second of the band's albums to chart, a remarkable achievement given the relatively underground nature of the band. The 26k streams brought in $32 for the band (£24).
[Album Review] Speed Metallers KAINE show their endurance during an ever changing scene with latest album 'EXTINCTIONS END'
In our latest YouTube video, we explore whether or not the debut is, in fact, still the best Iron Maiden album. The debut is arguably their most influential album because it helped kickstart an entire movement, but many feel they didn't truly "arrive" until Bruce Dickinson joined and they embraced the epic, soaring themes of the mid-80s. Before they became the kings of "galloping" metal, the debut had a gritty, high-speed edge. Tracks like "Prowler" and "Phantom of the Opera" feel dangerous and unpolished in a way that later albums don't. Di'Anno had a "tough guy" aesthetic and a raspy delivery. For many fans, this grounded the band in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene better than Bruce Dickinson’s operatic style.
We've released Second Coming as a new single from our album Extinctions End. Extinctions End is the latest studio album by the British speed metal band Kaine, released on February 14, 2026.The album is a significant "relaunch" for the band, marking a shift toward a darker, heavier, and more aggressive sound compared to their previous work. Despite being an independent release on the band's own label, Revival Metal Records, the album achieved notable success: t peaked at #90 on the Official UK Album Downloads Chart shortly after its release.
In this video we take a look at Diamond Head's NWOBHM masterpiece Lightning to the Nations, and why it wasn't the success it should have been at the time.
We play three shows with One Machine (featuring Steve Smyth formerly of Testament/Nevermore/Forbidden) and Endeavour this week. The run of dates kicks off with us returning to The Music Room in Ipswich, followed by The Gryphon in Bristol and finishing in Glasgow at Audio.
