Louisiana-based Heavy music band Devil’s Cut have released new track “Drop Dead (End)” from their debut album, Roadkill, which is out this Friday, April 24, 2026, on MNRK Heavy.

While their new music generally harnesses Metalcore with Country imagery, “Drop Dead (End)” bends more towards the Industrial. The accompanying video was directed by Zabb (Sicko, the Bloodclown, Black Metal: The Ultimate Documentary).

Singer Trey Landrum says:

’Drop Dead (End)’ is my favorite song on the album. It’s extremely high energy track from start to finish. We wanted something for everyone to scream at the top of their lungs whether behind their steering wheel, or back at us live with a cup of their favorite liquid in the air. 

Produced by Evan McKeever (Miranda Lambert, Starset), Roadkill is rowdy, but there’s also there’s lap steel, mandolin, and banjo in there, features which make Devil’s Cut unique as a band.

Landrum says:

We grew up on Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks, but we love Metallica and Pantera. We’re metal with hints of country, but we’re doing it differently; fucking with it and making it our own.

Every Roadkill track will have its own video and Devil’s Cut will be spending much of 2026 on the road, including a tour with kindred spirits Alborn.
