The tracks are reworkings of 8 songs originally found on the After Extinction album and the subsequent Extinction After EP, completely re-recorded for a full album release. After Extinction was a landmark release for the band, as it was our first album to break into the mainstream music charts, peaking at number 85 on the Official UK Album Downloads Chart. We decided to release these songs in their definitive format as a brand new album, Extinctions End.
Extinctions End will release digitally on all platforms on 14/2/2026 with CD pre-orders and merch pre-orders to begin on the same day.
The mixing and mastering stage for the new Kaine album, Extinctions End, has now been completed, and the album is now ready for release in early 2026. The album consists of 8 tracks, originally written, recorded, and released during the Covid era, which have been re-imagined, re-recorded, and altered ahead of the band's relaunch in 2026.
Kaine have been keeping the flame of heavy metal alive since 2009. Rooted in East Anglia’s thriving scene, the band blend Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, and thrash influences into a sound that’s fast, heavy, and defiantly DIY. Sixteen years on, they remain one of the UK’s most enduring heavy metal acts, with a catalogue that charts their resilience and evolution. In this interview with TheNwothm, Kaine reflect on their journey and share what’s next.
The band felt that, as when the album and EP were recorded and released, it was during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it would be good to re-release 8 of these songs with a fresh recording and sound.
All the instruments have now been recorded for the new Kaine release, Extinctions End. Rage Sadler completed tracking the guitars, and Isaac Healy the bass this week.
