$uicideboy$ deliver a bleak and blistering, but necessary, sermon on Thy Kingdom Come, with a long-awaited guest spot from BONES.
Ten years in, the $uicideboy$ are still preaching the gospel of gloom, and their new album Thy Kingdom Come might be their strongest scripture yet. The New Orleans duo’s new 10-track record comes on like a cold front from the underworld. It’s grim, genre-warping, and unflinchingly real. Rubbed raw by pain and paranoia, $crim and Ruby da Cherry continue to blur the lines between trap, punk, and horrorcore, pulling listeners into the darkness with them. The album opens with a gut-punch and doesn’t let up. “Napoleon” thrashes with club-ready chaos, while “Self-Inflicted” drags its knuckles through the muddy ground of a bygone era the $uicideboy$ helped define. The production is sleeker now, but the blood is still fresh and flowing.
Thy Kingdom Come also signals a rare moment of underground unity. “Now And At The Hour Of Our Death” finally brings BONES into the fold, a long-anticipated crossover that fans have been salivating over for years. The result is everything it needed to be - sinister, stripped, and seething with nihilism. It’s less a feature and more a fight disguised as a song. Elsewhere, “Carried Away” featuring Canadian rapper Night Lovell doubles down on the darkness. With its thunderous bass and bone-dry delivery, it’s a highlight that stomps through a soundscape of paranoia and self-destruction. It’s not just about flexing muscle, it’s about exorcising demons, and Thy Kingdom Come does both in spades.
Since their 2014 debut, the $uicideboy$ have defied expectations, and industry logic as well. With more than 20 billion streams and a devout worldwide fanbase, they’ve built an empire without ever chasing the mainstream. In 2023, they ranked among Spotify’s Top Groups and SoundCloud’s Top 5 Most Streamed Artists, proof that their cult has grown into something far more massive. Yet, for all the numbers and milestones, Thy Kingdom Come is a reminder of where it all started. The $uicideboy$ are still making music for the damaged, the disillusioned, and the defiant. And in their kingdom, the crown sits heavy, but proudly.
