Lincoln, Nebraska natives and recent Bridge Nine signees Bent Life have announced their debut album for the label, Never Asked For Heaven, which will be released August 5th. The album, which was recorded with Terror’s Nick Jett, showcases the band evolving into an aggressive powerhouse with clarity and precision, capable of thudding riffs and surprisingly memorable, gutting hooks. Inspired by Pantera‘s harsh groove and Hatebreed‘s tightly performed bulldoze, Bent Life have emerged from a long writing process revitalized and better than ever.
You can now stream the first new song, ‘Hands of Lead’, in the Bandcamp player below.
