The story
Lifesick will release When Brutality Becomes The Language, their fifth album, on 22/01/2027 through Metal Blade Records. The first single, “All Eyes On Me”, is out now with a video.
The band call the song “built for the pit”, moving from groove riffs into beatdown sections and a closing breakdown. Lyrically, they say, it is about being impossible to ignore.
Long-serving sound man Jacob Bredahl, the former Hatesphere vocalist, worked on the record again; the band say he “almost feels like the sixth member”. Guests include Jonathan Albrechtsen (Rot Away) and Victor Kaas (Eyes) on “No Bark, All Bite”, Nitisart “Mike” Chaiburi (Whispers) on “Damaged Goods”, Hallgeir Skretting Enoksen (Purified In Blood) on “Scum” and Christoffer Bach Kofoed (Neckbreakker) on “Assassination Culture”.

Our take
Lifesick are one of the heaviest bands on the hardcore side of the line: HM-2 guitar tone, death metal riffs and pit-first songwriting. If that crossover is your thing, this is one of early 2027’s albums to watch.
Bottom line
Pre-orders are open through Metal Blade. Watch the video first.
