San Diego melodic deathcore outfit Cascade Effect, winners of the Wacken Metal Battle USA, have dropped a new single and music video, "Rogue Wave." It is the first of three videos from their upcoming full-length, The Weight of Nothingness, due January 8, 2027 on Eclipse Records.

Directed by Oz Riveros, the video puts the band at the center of a raging storm. Real footage of massive ocean waves is projected over the performance, mixed with shifting lights and torrential water spray, and cut with archival clips of friends and family that act as an emotional anchor against the chaos.

Vocalist Dustin Keimig says the song is about how quickly life can change and how technology and constant noise are pulling people apart: "The real world is right in front of us, and I don't want to let it pass by because I was too consumed by all the noise." A second video, for "My Devil's Hour," is on the way.

The Weight of Nothingness is a 13-track LP blending deathcore, groove metal, melodic death and nu metal. Engineered and mixed by Matthew Denis, mastered by Miro Kiiski, cover art by Dustin Keimig. Comparisons include Slipknot, Gojira, Lamb of God and Parkway Drive.
