Released through BLOOD BLAST—the global distribution platform dedicated to independent metal, hardcore, punk, and extreme music, established through the partnership between Nuclear Blast, one of the world’s most renowned record labels in extreme music, and leading digital distributor Believe—Zilqy’s debut EP Vacant Throne arrived on November 5, 2025. Ahead of its release, the title track “Carry On” was unveiled as the lead advance single on October 22.

“Carry On” was the very first song written by Zilqy and the catalyst for the band’s formation. Combining the architectural precision and heaviness of modern metal with melodic, instantly memorable hooks, the track embodies the band’s musical identity. It represents Zilqy’s vision of fusing globally competitive modern metal production with the uniquely expressive melodic sensibility of Japan, creating a new direction for contemporary metal.

With “Carry On,” Zilqy took its first step onto the world stage, marking the beginning of the band’s journey.
