Ephemera - For Those Afraid To Die | Full EP

The word ephemera means “things that exist or are enjoyed for only a short time.” When Ephemera, the band, was formed during lockdown as an outlet for frustration among friends, the name perfectly captured their initial mindset. Little did they know, their project would grow into something far more enduring and impactful.

Three years, three EPs, and three singles later—all of which have been playlisted by BBC Radio 1’s DJ Alyx Holcombe and featured across numerous media outlets including Revolver magazine —Ephemera are ready to unleash their most powerful and thought-provoking work yet: For Those Afraid To Die. This EP is a testament to their evolution, blending hardcore, metalcore, and melodic sensibilities into a sound that is uniquely their own.

For Those Afraid To Die EP
Fusing hardcore, metalcore, and melodic elements, Ephemera have crafted a sound that defies easy categorization. Tracks like For Those Afraid To Die and House Fire showcase their ability to balance raw aggression with haunting melodies, creating a listening experience that is both visceral and introspective.

The track and single video for Heaven features a jaw-dropping vocal performance from Jesse Leach, frontman of metalcore legends Killswitch Engage. His contribution adds an extra layer of intensity and depth to an already explosive EP.


From the atmospheric opening of Origin to the relentless energy of House Fire, Ephemera take listeners on a sonic journey that is as emotionally charged as it is musically adventurous.


The EP’s production, handled by Beauty School guitarist Grant Beeden Clayton, captures the raw, unfiltered energy of Ephemera’s sound. The result is a collection of tracks that feel alive and urgent, as if the band is performing right in front of you.
