This Ending are a Swedish melodic death metal band formed in 2005 by former members of A Canorous Quintet. They are known for combining classic Gothenburg melodic death metal foundations with darker, heavier modern production and songwriting.
Across their catalogue, This Ending have consistently delivered a blend of aggression and melody rooted in the Swedish melodic death metal tradition.
This Ending’s sound is built on dual-guitar harmonies, driving mid-to-fast tempos, and a balance between harsh aggression and melodic leads. Their music reflects strong Gothenburg-era influence while incorporating a heavier and more modern tonal weight.
The band’s lyrical themes often explore darkness, introspection, and human struggle, reinforcing their melancholic melodic identity.
