Final Gasp

**Final Gasp** is a Boston-based band that’s carved out a moody, visceral sound blending hardcore punk’s raw energy with haunting gothic and metal undertones. Formed in the late 2010s, the group—fronted by vocalist/guitarist Jake Murphy—crafts brooding anthems like “Mourning Moon” and “Blood and Sulfur,” pairing driving riffs with lyrics steeped in themes of existential dread, occult mystique, and personal catharsis. Their 2023 debut album, *Mourning Moon* (released via Triple B Records), solidified their reputation as purveyors of dark, atmospheric heavy music, while earlier EPs like *Baptism of Desire* showcase their knack for merging melody with unrelenting intensity.

Known for electrifying live shows dripping with eerie visuals and unhinged passion, Final Gasp taps into the primal spirit of ’80s punk and post-punk while pushing their sound into fresh, shadowy territory. Tracks like “Climax Infinity” and “Haunting Whisper” highlight their ability to balance melody and menace, making them a standout act in today’s underground heavy music scene.
