The dynamic five piece have officially joined burgeoning Australian rock label **XMusic**, who have just released their latest single, “**NCB**,” marking the beginning of an exciting chapter in the band’s career.

*“We are thrilled to welcome Engraved to the XMusic family,”* says XMusic CEO Tim McLean Smith. *“With ‘NCB,’ they’re set to kickstart a powerful new era. 2025 is going to be a landmark year for them!”*

“**NCB**” delves into the universal theme of redemption, capturing the resilience and strength needed to overcome life’s greatest challenges. With intense lyrics and soul-stirring melodies, “NCB” speaks to those who seek solace, forgiveness, and a chance to begin anew. Featuring searing metal guitar riffs and impassioned choruses, this single is a rallying cry for personal empowerment and renewal.

Drawing inspiration from metalcore giants like Trivium, Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, and Bullet For My Valentine, Engraved combines intricate instrumentation and commanding lyrics with a distinct early 2000s metalcore vibe. This sound has helped them establish a loyal following across Australia since the release of their debut EP, *Unleashed*, in 2022. With over 100,000 streams, *Unleashed* earned them a spot on the cover of HEAVY Magazine, where Editor Kris Peters praised their work as* “a heavy slab of brutality layered with melodic contrast showcasing the talent and diversity within this emerging five piece.”*

Following the success of *Unleashed*, Engraved have been busy, performing at HEAVY Magazine’s 10th anniversary shows and touring with renowned local acts such as Krave and ANA.   
  
Now, with XMusic behind them and a new album slated for 2025, the boys are poised to become icons of the Australian metalcore landscape.
