Death Lens – share “Debt Collector” their album closer

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 24th April 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.

“There’s nothing softened or reflective here, just a bold (and quite timely) dare towards the world to test you as you continue to push through its wreckage with a refusal to fold,” said Remezcla of this new music.

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.” Also featuring a new video directed by Torres.

Debt Collector” came from that constant pressure of feeling like you’re already behind before the day even starts,” Torres explains. “It’s fast and chaotic on purpose, like your thoughts when you’re trying to stay afloat in a system that’s designed to drain you. I wanted it to feel like panic, but also like fighting back, like you’re sprinting even when you know something’s always chasing you. It was also the first music video I wrote and directed myself, which made it feel even more personal, like I could fully translate that anxiety visually, not just sonically.”
