Five Oregon City High School students have released a debut metalcore album through a Portland record label, adding a local voice to the city's all-ages hardcore scene.

Tomorrow's Never Promised put out "In Our Empty Eyes" in September through Red Room Records, according to a review in The Elevator, the school's student newspaper. The 19-minute record follows an EP the band released in April.

Reviewer Lilly Morrison called it "an outstanding Metalcore album," writing that the group mixes "deep raspy vocals with unique breakdowns."

The five-piece lineup grew out of earlier projects that never gained traction. Lead vocalist Cash Zarfas and drummer Hunter Roesler started the band, with rhythm guitarist Quinn Ulrey joining soon after. The group didn't fully come together until lead guitarist Landon Fornshell signed on, Morrison wrote. Bassist Ben Quintanilla rounded out the roster.

All five are students at Oregon City Senior High School.

The album opens with a track called "Eyes Bleed," which Morrison described as the second-most-listened-to song on the record, trailing only "A Word From You." She called "A Word From You" slow and melodic, noting it had been played at live shows before its official release. Another track, "I Love Marvin," is not actually about a guy named Marvin, Morrison wrote.

The band regularly performs at the High Limit Room, a 250-capacity all-ages venue at 720 SE Hawthorne Blvd. in Portland. Willamette Week reported in July 2025 that the venue opened as a home for all-ages hardcore shows, run by the Portland booking agency 777 Booking. Morrison wrote that Red Room Records, the label behind the album, is "highly connected" to the High Limit Room, though no independent confirmation of that relationship appeared in available records.

The High Limit Room sells no alcohol, making it one of Portland's few music-first spaces open to teenagers. For a band whose members are still in high school, that kind of venue access is hard to come by.

Morrison wrote that the band produced the record on a tight budget. She described the album's sound as dark and gloomy but meaningful, and recommended it to anyone interested in post-hardcore.

"In Our Empty Eyes" is available on streaming platforms including Spotify.
