Spanish thrash metal heavyweights
ANGELUS APATRIDA are entering a new era, officially signing with Napalm Records! Formed in 2000, the Spanish quartet has spent more than two decades establishing themselves as one of the leading forces in the international thrash metal scene, performing at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop and Download and building a reputation as a formidable live act.
To kick off their new chapter, ANGELUS APATRIDA unleash “Cycle Of Ruin”, their first single via Napalm Records. The crushing track combines razor-sharp riffs, powerful vocals and driving mid-tempo grooves before culminating in an explosive guitar solo. It also serves as the first taste of the upcoming three-track EP The Reckoning, arriving November 19, 2026 and featuring “Cycle Of Ruin”, “Burn It Down” and a furious reinterpretation of Sepultura’s “Propaganda”, the latter being already digitally available on all streaming services.
ANGELUS APATRIDA about the signing:
“Now it’s time to turn the page! Napalm Records had been chasing us for years, and now the time has finally come. From day one, we felt their excitement, ambition and understanding of who ANGELUS APATRIDA is and where we want to go next. We’re still as hungry as ever, and it feels amazing to finally call Napalm Records our new home!
And we’re not coming empty-handed! The Reckoning is our new three-track EP and the first release of this new chapter. Produced by the band, recorded by our homie Juanan López, and mixed and mastered once again by our longtime partner in crime Zeuss, it’s aggressive, heavy, uncompromising and exactly where we are right now.”
