Southern California quartet Death Lens have always been a great band but right now they’re operating in their prime. Coming out in exactly one month on April 24 is What’s Left Now?, their first album since 2024’s Cold World and their second for Epitaph Records.
Their most fully realised music yet, the songs on What’s Left Now? are crunchy, urgent, melancholy, raging, and so goddamn easy to headbang along to. It nods to the crushing riffage of Drug Church, the wiry energy of Viagra Boys, and the spirited social commentary of IDLES, but with a delivery and perspective that’s entirely Death Lens.
Today the band is sharing album closer Debt Collector, a righteously pissed punk ripper about “The enslavement of society and just having to pay, pay, pay,” frontman Bryan Torres laments. “And there’s really no way out.”
