Tokyo’s metalcore juggernauts Sable Hills are back — and they’re not pulling punches. Their latest single “Godforsaken” is a scorched-earth anthem featuring none other than John Henry of Darkest Hour, bringing teeth-baring ferocity and an avalanche of riffs.
Sable Hills are no strangers to making history. From becoming the first Japanese band to ever win Wacken Metal Battle to storming festival stages around the globe — Brutal Assault, Knotfest, BLARE FEST, Bloodaxe, True North — their rise has been relentless. Add to that their own homegrown FRONTLINE FESTIVAL, which has already united nearly 1,000 fans under one roof, and it’s clear this is a band refusing to wait for permission.
With “Godforsaken,” Sable Hills double down on everything that makes them unstoppable: precision, power, and a vision that stretches far beyond Japan. Metalcore isn’t just alive — it’s thriving, and Sable Hills are leading the charge.
Watch the “Godforsaken” video now and see why they’re impossible to ignore.
