The Proxima Design, the progressive death metal project led by solo artist Jake Morgan, continues its rollout toward the forthcoming debut album The Door on the Left with the announcement of a new single, “Discarded and Damned,” arriving June 12, 2026.
Following the intensity and precision of the project’s first release, this new track pushes further into the fusion of progressive metal and technical death metal that defines Morgan’s vision. The result stays true to the project’s identity, progressive death metal built on structure, weight, and controlled chaos, while raising the stakes in both aggression and atmosphere.
“Discarded and Damned” expands the narrative and sonic direction introduced earlier, leaning into heavier rhythmic tension, sharper dynamic shifts, and a darker emotional edge. It is a statement piece that reinforces the trajectory of the upcoming album cycle rather than simply extending it.
Guest drummer Robin Stone returns to deliver a powerful and precise performance, anchoring the track with relentless energy. The mix and master by Mike Killian once again brings clarity and impact, allowing every layer of complexity to hit with intent and force.
Fans of The Zenith Passage, Between the Buried and Me, and Fallujah will recognize familiar technical foundations, but The Proxima Design continues to carve its own lane through tightly controlled composition and conceptual focus.
With “Discarded and Damned,” The Proxima Design pushes deeper into its identity, setting the stage for what is shaping up to be a dense and uncompromising debut album experience.
