It’s now the middle of day three from our album launch, and we’re pleased to update you on how the album is currently doing. As you can see, sales/streams are still lower than our previous albums, but we’re continuing to work hard to push this record.
So how did we do on the day of the launch? It was easily the toughest launch day we have ever had with the band, with fewer people than ever engaging with the content on socials on release day, with a high amount of swipe past, and those who have seen the album only listening for a few seconds.
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.
