Bay Area thrash veterans HEATHEN will release a new full‑length, issued their first single and video 'Escapegoat', and announced U.S. and European touring tied to the record.
According to Blabbermouth.
HEATHEN have announced their new full‑length, Lifetime In Hell, due in February 2027 on Napalm Records, and released the official video for the lead single 'Escapegoat'. The track serves as an introduction to the record, combining Bay Area thrash DNA with contemporary production and anthemic choruses.
The album was produced by Chris 'Zeuss' Harris at Planet Z, with Jason Bittner handling the drum tracks. Jeff Loomis guests on the Jeff‑assisted cut 'Glass House'. Lifetime In Hell is the band’s first studio album since Empire Of The Blind (2020) and features a lineup that includes David White on vocals, Kragen Lum and Kyle Edissi on guitars, Jason Mirza on bass and Blake Anderson on drums.
New album, single and touring plans
The announcement includes a detailed sequencing of songs and highlights several titles such as 'One Last Mistake', 'Lifetime In Hell' and 'The Bitter End'. The press materials emphasize a blend of surgical precision and high‑velocity riffing across the record.
HEATHEN also tied the release to touring plans: they will take the new material on the road during their final 2026 U.S. run with FORBIDDEN and VOID, then launch a European trek in 2027 as part of a revolving triple‑headliner with EXHORDER and Belgium’s EVIL INVADERS. The package is presented as both a continuation of the band’s legacy and a fresh statement of their thrash identity.
