Rising LA punk band Death Lens have announced Cold World, their first album for Epitaph. It’s due May 3. The band say the LP title “just seemed to fit in the days we’re living. It’s the desire to thrive in a deteriorating world, all while pushing those who feel like there is no hope and hoping to give them a second wind, a sense of hope.”
The album was produced by I Am The Avalanche/the Movielife member Brett Romnes, marking Death Lens’ first time working with a producer. “We were scared that our sound was not going to be us, but Brett was such an amazing addition to the writing process,” they say. “The goal was to find a common ground and build from that, and we did almost instantly on day one. It was beautiful.”
