there's only lust in the end

nailed shut is a boston-based metalcore band formed in 2022. currently, their full list of releases contains one seven-track ep and one single, though five of their six unreleased songs are confirmed to be part of an ep releasing in late 2025. their musical inspirations range from vein.fm to ethel cain, and their visual aesthetic takes inspiration from the works of junji ito as well as the psychological horror selection of a24 studios.

on this website, you can find a timeline of this band's progress (both as a whole and a more specific timeline detailing the shows they've played), brief introductions to each of the members, and a breakdown of the stories being told with each of their songs. i hope you enjoy going through my deep dives! this is very much still a work in progress, so some page layouts may be a little janky.
