Vocalist Kesari Gorin commented on ‘Sorrow & Solitude’: “This song is about love and loss, trying to hold onto someone without losing yourself. Sometimes you can change so much to be with someone that you both end up unrecognisable. ‘Sorrow & Solitude’ is the most emotional song we’ve done, it’s something new for us showing a more vulnerable side. This track is about relationships and how they can fall apart, exploring feelings of grief and regret, but ultimately trying to do what’s best for both of you. When the fire burns bright you can only hold onto it for so long until you need to let go.”
Negative Frame will release their debut album in 2026, news coming soon.

Negative Frame are a London-based metallic hardcore band formed in 2017, emerging from the city’s DIY underground with a sound that fuses groove-heavy riffs, thrash intensity and punishing breakdowns. Originally brought together through skating and college life in North London, the band channelled frustration with everyday monotony into something far louder and more physical, quickly becoming known for their raw, high-impact approach. Drawing influence from acts like Acid Bath, Disembodied and Lamb of God, their music leans into dense, groove-led structures and visceral, emotionally charged vocals that hit as hard live as they do on record.
From early DIY tours and self-booked shows to sharing stages with hardcore heavyweights, Negative Frame have built their reputation on relentless live energy and a deep connection to the UKHC scene. Their debut releases and later material, including the Mercy Killing EP and singles like ‘Bad Blood,’ showcase a band evolving into a heavier, more intricate force while staying rooted in hardcore’s communal chaos—stage dives, mic grabs and all. With a growing following and a reputation for explosive performances, Negative Frame are part of a new wave pushing UK hardcore into darker, more aggressive territory without losing its sense of grit or fun.
Negative Frame are here to execute, haunting each listener with a passionate blend of hardcore to epic metal.
