Manchester–based five-piece GUILT TRIP — Jay Valentine [vocals], Jak Maden [guitar], Sam Baker [guitar], Tom Aimson [drums], and Lily Kilcoyne [bass] – are one of the fastest rising bands in heavy music. Today, they have announced their album ‘ARMOUR OF ANGELS’, which arrives June 5 via Roadrunner Records. It will be available in several exclusive vinyl variants and can be pre-ordered here.
Today, the band also shares the video for the explosive, pit-stirring new single ‘No Love Lost.’ Watch the video, directed by Luigi Sibona, here.
“’No Love Lost’ is all the best of Guilt Trip spliced into a fast and unrelenting 2.5 minutes,” the band declares “This is just a taste of things to come as we prepare to unleash our third LP, Armour of Angels. We are immensely proud of this record, combining everything special about Severance with an added swing of heaviness and a more mature writing style.”
Guilt Trip finishes, “We hope these three years have been worth the wait. Thank you to everyone that has and everyone that continues to support Guilt Trip.’
The album, produced by the band, features 12 blistering tracks, including a collaboration with P.O.D singer Sonny Sandoval, who guests on the song ‘Resurrected.’

ABOUT GUILT TRIP:
Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city’s rain-baptised topography. A hardworking lot who shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, Guilt Trip bring a blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece slides striking melodies in between throat-slitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns.
Amassing tens of millions of streams and playing to packed crowds, they’re primed to amplify this hometown energy and pride on a global scale with a series of 2025 singles and their forthcoming debut LP for Roadrunner Records. More information about the new album will be released in due course.
Guilt Trip started to forge a seething signature style without comparison back in 2015. Jay and Jak cemented a lifelong bond as best friends at four-years-old when they met at reception in school. Over the years, the duo introduced one another to various favourite bands. Eventually, they welcomed fellow Manchester scene friends Tom, Sam, and Lily to the fold. To get to this point, the collective grinded the old-fashioned way one gig at a time, bulldozing their way out of sweaty basements and onto cramped club stages. They dropped the ‘Unrelenting Force’ EP during 2016 followed by their 2019 full-length debut, ‘River of Lies’. The latter spawned ‘Thin Ice,’ which reeled in 7.1 million Spotify streams and counting. 2023’s ‘Severance’ marked a turning point. It boasted popular collaborations with LANDMVRKS and Malevolence, while KERRANG! hailed their “unique brand of hardcore that sees them delve into elements of thrash, old-school hardcore and fist-pumping metal.” Beyond sharing the stage with everyone from Sylosis to While She Sleeps, they lit up festivals, including Download, Hellfest, and more. Attracting Roadrunner Records to their corner, the musicians decamped to StudiOWZ in Clarbeston, Wales with producer and engineer Adam “Nolly” Getgood [Periphery] during early 2025.
