Denver's Arson Charge announce their debut album 'A Dying Light' + share lead single

The goldmine for heavy music strikes again with a strong offering of thrash punk.

Arson Charge, 2025

On October 3rd, Arson Charge will release their debut album, A Dying Light, via Anxious & Angry, marking a thrilling entry into the flooded heavy underground with a highly anticipated thrash punk listen. There's something special to be said about bands like Arson Charge with sold out shows before even releasing a proper EP or full-length, but with their members being significant stakeholders of the city's underground music scene, Arson Charge are camaraderie driven and play for a purpose. Lead single, A New Throne, reflects the passion they invest within their craft and excels at introducing the deep dive into pain, disconnection, and loss that is A Dying Light.

Frontman Ben Roy comments on the record:

"A Dying Light started off as an impromptu creative outlet for guitarist Justin Hackl after a series of serious health issues and extended hospital stays sidelined him for months. After working with comedian and musician Ben Roy on a couple of those tracks, both decided that there was the framework for an entirely new musical project. Enlisting the talents of drummer Cody Hull, guitarist Dave Sandoval, and bassist Kris Hodgell, Arson Charge was born. Bringing together all their collective influences and styles, A Dying Light is a technical, aggressive, and surprisingly cohesive meld of punk rock, thrash metal, and hardcore. Lyrically it's a catharsis; it's a raw and real expression of the loss, self sabotage, fear and, ultimately, hope that we all experience, day in/day out, in our increasingly complicated existences. Again: Don't fall in love. Get a pet or a fern or something."
