Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face is the debut studio album by American deathcore band End, which was released on June 5, 2020, through Closed Casket Activities. The album was recorded and produced in the Graphic Nature Audio studio by member Will Putney.

Release

In early 2020, drummer Andrew McEnaney departed the band, and was replaced by ex-the Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Billy Rymer.[1]

On March 26, 2020, the band released the new single, "Pariah", and announced their debut album "Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face" would be released through Closed Casket Activities.[1] They released 3 more singles from the album, which were "Covet Not" on April 23, 2020, "Fear for Me Now" on May 14, 2020, and "Hesitation Wounds" on June 4, 2020. The next day, on June 5, 2020, they released their debut album, "Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face".[2]

New Noise Magazine[5]

The album has received positive reviews.

"It’s always difficult to predict how putative “supergroups” like this are going to turn out. Quite often, if we’re being brutally honest, the chemistry between the members simply isn’t there. But, as Splinters from an Ever-Changing Face goes to show, when it is, the resultant reaction is nothing short of explosive."

— Andy Synn, [6]

Musical style

The album has been described as metalcore and hardcore punk, with mathcore and black metal influences, with Paul travers of Kerrang! saying "It’s a relentless album that turns vicious ugliness into something quite beautiful".[3] while Adam Rees of New Noise Magazine said the album "is a debilitating hardcore onslaught".[5]
