Review Time – Never Fade – Unto The Ages -

From the heart of Worcestershire, UNTO the AGES have been carving out a name in the UK underground since their formation in 2022. Built on grit, determination, and an unshakable bond, the band harness the weight of early ’90s metal while driving it forward with a modern edge. Their Old English-inspired name, meaning “Forever” or “For eternity,” perfectly mirrors their mission: to craft music that leaves a lasting mark, or to ‘Never Fade‘ if you will.

Within just a few years, they’ve turned heads through relentless live shows, where their sets became known for a blend of raw energy, emotional sincerity, and chest-thumping power. Their sound is a fantastic melting pot of post-grunge grit colliding with thrash, groove, metalcore and hardcore creating something that feels both timeless and contemporary. It’s no wonder their reputation has grown on the strength of not just their heaviness, but their heart.

Now its Review Time for their new single, Never Fade.

A Defining Moment – Never Fade

2025 saw the release of their most defining track to date: Never Fade. Produced by and featuring Ben Rhys Thomas of Sylosis, the single is more than just a song, it’s a statement of resilience. Conceived by guitarist Matt Charman as a tribute to the late Anj Avraam (older brother of vocalist Xen Angeli), the track became a vessel for grief transformed into something universal. Xen’s vocals pour with anguish yet carry the spark of endurance, while Thomas’s blistering guest solo drives the song into unforgettable territory.

Its real power lies in its ability to resonate deeply with anyone who has faced loss. It isn’t just heavy for the sake of it, it’s a heartfelt anthem that cuts to the core. For anyone who has followed my personal accounts know I went through a similar situation nearly three years ago where I lost both my grandfather and my older sister in the space of a couple of months. Understanding what the pain is like every day and seeing it harnessed into something as good and powerful as this song is incredible to see.

Music with Meaning

Beyond the music, UNTO the AGES are putting their values into action. Half of all proceeds from Never Fade are being donated to Pancreatic Cancer UK, directly connecting the track to the Angel Of Rage fundraising project, an event rooted in the memory of Anj himself. A forthcoming video for the single promises to honour his legacy further, weaving in imagery from his life as a musician and frontman.

Verdict

While many emerging acts still scramble to define themselves, UNTO the AGES already feel fully formed. Their sound is crushing but sincere, nostalgic yet forward-thinking, and above all, purposeful. From their Worcestershire roots to their rising national profile, they’re proving themselves not just as musicians, but as a band with vision, heart, and staying power.
