Heathen announces new album ‘Lifetime In Hell’ and single ‘Escapegoat’

Bay Area thrash metal band Heathen has announced the release of their new album, ‘Lifetime In Hell’, scheduled for February 19, 2027, via Napalm Records. Alongside the announcement, the group released their first single, ‘Escapegoat’.

Vocalist David White described the single as a long-awaited track intended to provide a preview of the intensity and overall vision of the upcoming album. He noted that the band aims for this to be their best work to date.

Guitarist Kragen Lum commented on the themes of the accompanying video, which explores the concept of escaping a superficial and artificial world through various distractions.

Heathen plans to perform new material during their final 2026 tour in the United States with Forbidden and Void. This will be followed by a rotating headliner European tour in early 2027 alongside Exhorder and Evil Invaders.
