Los Angeles alt-punks Death Lens cut loose on their new single, ‘Power.’ Fresh off a run with Militarie Gun, the punchy track is set to appear in the upcoming edition of EA’s Skate series. Marking the band’s first release since 2024’s Cold World, ‘Power’ lands with hook-laden guitars and an uplifting edge, an optimistic signal at the end of a chaotic year.
Frontman Bryan Torres explains: “I know the world feels out of balance, nothing seems certain, and waiting isn’t an option anymore. We can’t let time dictate our choices or our purpose. The world has never waited for anyone, so we stopped waiting too. That’s POWER. Strength. Resilience. When life feels bleak, we push harder for what we want and the vision we hold for ourselves. A song for anyone who loves it fast, with a message that lifts you up.”

Following the rhythmic bark of Cold World, their poignant album confronting social and political unrest, Death Lens continue to carry the torch for Southern California’s melodic, hardcore-tinged punk with a sense of social responsibility. Their new single ‘Power’ marks the next step in the band’s evolution, tackling burnout and the feeling of being unable to rise after repeated blows. Still, as Torres reminds us, “the world waits for no one,” a rallying cry urging listeners to stand up, keep moving, and look out for each other.
The band will return to Europe and the UK in 2026 for a run of summer festivals. Initial dates include Berlin Breakoutand Vainstream in Germany, as well as Mighty Sounds Festival in the Czech Republic, with more shows to be announced soon.
Since forming in 2012, Death Lens have aimed to be a constant presence in listeners’ ears. Their ferocity hides beneath a stylish exterior until the explosive energy of their live show leaves audiences stunned and forever changed. What began as a party-driven garage punk outfit has evolved into a band committed to speaking on life in heavily policed neighborhoods, immigration reform, and the necessity of uplifting one’s community, true to their mantra: “One world, one community.”
Death Lens is Bryan Torres (vocals), Jhon Reyes (guitar, backing vocals), Tony Rangel (drums), and Ernie Gutierrez (guitar).
