Death Lens announce new album ‘Cold World’

DEATH LENS have announced a new album!

Titled Cold World, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based alternative punk band is the follow-up to 2022’s No Luck, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Epitaph Records.

Aided by NYC-based producer Brett Romnes [HOT MULLIGAN, MOM JEANS], Cold World intends to be a departure from the early styles the band mimicked as a young band; an elevation of their sound transmuted into matured and brawny post-hardcore tinged rock songs.

“This was our first time using a producer and we were scared that our sound was not going to be us, but Brett was such an amazing addition to the writing process,” the band explains. “The goal was to find a common ground and build from that and we did almost instantly on day one, it was beautiful.”

Lyrically, Cold World finds vocalist Bryan Torres reckoning with his place in the world, examining social injustices, current political and world unrest, and his emotional, mental, and physical reactions to it all. Growing up as minorities 20 miles east of Los Angeles with constant harassment by police and heavy gang violence, the band faced many risk factors that could’ve led them astray from this moment. “We’re all unified in the way we think, we all believe in a fair system for all to live without struggle and with a reasonable cost of living,” Torres says. “We side strongly with socialist ideals proudly. We’re also very pro Latino and pushing heavier to see more Hispanic bands up on stage, pro LGBTQ, pro-immigration and everything in between. One world, one community.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, DEATH LENS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Cold World.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Cold World just seemed to fit in the days we’re living. It’s the desire to thrive in a deteriorating world all while pushing those who feel like there is no hope and hoping to give them a second wind, a sense of hope.”
