Split Chain - motionblur *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 11th July 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

From the depths of personal reckoning to the forefront of the UK's alternative
scene, SPLIT CHAIN have spent the past two years transmuting raw emotion
into sound
Their debut album, motionblur, out soon on Epitaph Records, is a thunderous
statement of intent-- an electrifying fusion of shoegaze, grunge, and nu- metal that
surges with both nostalgia and forward momentum.
Sonically, motionblur captures a distinctive aesthetic, steeped in the melancholic haze
of early 2000s alt rock yet sharpened by the intensity of modern hardcore. Guitars
drenched in chorus and distortion crash into ethereal, hook- laden vocals, forging a
sound that's at once crushingly heavy and deeply immersive.
Following a string of self- released singles that organically amassed millions of
streams, SPLIT CHAIN's signing with Epitaph catapulted them further into the
spotlight. Their frst label-backed single pushed their streaming numbers past the 15-
million mark, earning them accolades as AltPress' Breakout Artist of the Month and
Revolver's 'Badass Rising Band to Know.' With nods from Stereogum, The Needle Drop,
Brook lynVegan, and Metal Injection, the buzz around Split Chain is undeniable.
With motionblur, SPLIT CHAIN aren't just making an album--they're making a moment.
And if their trajec tory so far is any indication, this is only the beginning.
Nominated in the Best UK Breakthrough Artist category at the Heavy Music
