Release Date: March 5, 2026
Label: Self-released

DIRE END follows up their debut track "Burned To Death" with "XI", a moodier, more absorbing piece that stands out as the band’s first composition entirely in Basque. Hailing from Bilbao, the group dives deep into intricate layers, balancing raw intensity with brooding ambiance as much as swift, meticulous execution.

The words pull from ancient Basque legends, weaving a tale of a lamia, an alluring yet eerie presence lurking beneath. This mythical influence carves a bold signature for the song, while the use of Basque cements the band’s heritage into their sharp, contemporary sound. "XI" comes paired with an official visual and is now streaming on major platforms.

Line-up:
Erroia - vocals
