Synthwave rockers Young Medicine have dragged their sound into the woods with Buried Underneath, a Halloween-season single on FiXT that takes its cue from the blood-soaked classic Evil Dead films. It came out on 21 October 2026.
FiXT describes a story of cellar doors that hide secrets, forbidden pages that stir something ancient and hungry, and a curse that spreads through the trees. Atmospheric dread builds into a full-throttle eruption, chasing its characters from possession to reckoning, before landing on one haunting truth: peace only comes once you are buried underneath.
The lyrics nod straight at the films, from awakened pages to being dead by dawn. Bret Liber and Josh Hurst wrote the track, Liber mixed and mastered it, and Hurst also created the cover art, with that clawed hand breaking out of a glowing cellar hatch.
It is the fifth original single from the band since their 2024 album Cold Blooded, and it keeps the formula their label sums up best: double-bass beats and crunchy guitar riffs under sparkling retro synths, as if synthwave and metal had started a boy band.
