Cleveland, Ohio Doom Metal band Frayle have revealed details about their upcoming third full length album, called Heretics & Lullabies, out on October 10, 2025 via Napalm Records.

Alongside the announcement, they’ve launched a new cover of Lana Del Rey favorite “Summertime Sadness”. The song provides “a fitting closer to the summer season as autumn looms near.”

Merging the heaviness of occult-driven Doom and Blackgaze influences with frontwoman Gwyn Strang’s distinctive vocals and the guitars of Sean Bilovecky, the band has realized their musical vision of “lullabies of chaos” with Heretics & Lullabies.

Frayle says about the “Summertime Sadness” cover:

We’ve always been fans of songwriting with notes of melancholy, no matter what the genre. Hearing ‘Summertime Sadness’ for the first time was special. Everything seemed to fall into place for us with little resistance on this song. It was the first rough mix we got back from our producer. He added the pause before the breath leading into the first chorus and upon hearing it, we knew we had something special.
