Watch the official Video: https://youtu.be/ec2CiZSwQyk

12” Maxi Single Never A God Drops on April 23, 2026!

HEATHEN about the signing:

“We’re very proud to announce that HEATHEN has officially signed with Napalm Records! Joining forces with a team who shares our vision, our drive, and our passion for metal music. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. We’re fired up for what’s coming and can’t wait to complete work on the new HEATHEN album!”

Napalm Records Senior A&R Sebastian Muench about the signing:

“We are incredibly proud and excited to welcome the legendary Californian thrash metal band HEATHEN to the Napalm Records family. HEATHEN are true icons of the genre, and working with them is an absolute honor. We strongly believe in this partnership and are thrilled to take the next chapter of HEATHEN’s legacy to new heights together.”

HEATHEN about “Never A God”:

“We’re going to start this new partnership with Napalm Records off with a bang and give you something new to listen to while we continue to work on the new HEATHEN album. With that in mind, we recorded a couple of classic Bay Area Thrash tracks originally written by other bands that we played with in the early 1990s. The demo collectors out there may have heard these songs before, but they’ll be new to most of you. The first single is ‘Never a God’, originally recorded in demo form (with David White on vocals) by Laughing Dead. So, new record label, new music, new video, 12” Maxi Single pre-order, and a tour with Coroner in North America starting tomorrow. LFG!”

FROM HORN: 

 

+ NEW SINGLE NOW OUT ON SPOTIFY +

Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/1N82I0WqnMlI8jqPjja7eS...

"Die Ahren gleich als mit dem Huf" is loosely based on the tale "Ludwig ackert mit seinen Adlichen" by the Brothers Grimm – in which the "iron landgrave" punishes his disobedient subjects not to death, but to plow his fields with their own bodies, humiliating them in the process.

This one's the album opener. A dark, dissonant track switching between groovy downtempo parts and melodic double bass-driven sections. Enjoy and let us know if you like this one!

GSO is Sweden’s national orchestra and one of Europe’s premier orchestras, so to be recognized like this by our hometown is truly special.

Join us for this unique milestone in our journey on December 4 and 5.

This is a big deal!
