The Last Ten Seconds of Life will be releasing their eighth full-length album, The Dead Ones, on April 17th, 2026. Intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks the band’s Metal Blade Records debut.
Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, for the album, the band focused on guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.”
The Dead Ones was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band’s 2012 Warpath EP. The band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi drop tune pedal on certain sections.
The record also includes four guests: “Make It To Heaven” includes David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm, Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) appears on “Rat Trap,” “Dollar To A Dime” has Alan Grnja of Distant, and “XXXXXXXXXX” features the band’s original vocalist, Storm Strope.
The band have recently confirmed their Spring headlining tour. The Dead Ones Record Release trek will commence on April 2nd in Columbus, Ohio and roll through April 16th in Cleveland, Ohio.
Support will be provided by Traitors and Nailed Shut as well as The Crimson Armada and Flesh Prison on select dates. The journey follows the band’s North American winter run supporting Left To Suffer, currently underway.
