Pennsylvania deathcore act The Last Ten Seconds of Life has shared the video for its latest single, “Make It to Heaven,” from its upcoming album “The Dead Ones,” set for an April 17, 2026, release via Metal Blade Records (preorder here). The new song features David Simonich, vocalist of fellow Pennsylvania deathcore band Signs of the Swarm.
“Growing up as a young artist in a conservative Christian environment, I was no stranger to being influenced to take different paths,” vocalist Tyler Beam said. “As I grew up, I began to realize that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You’re here now and no matter what anyone could tell you, no one knows what comes after all of this. You have one chance to experience being human, so why squander it on anything. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do, go out into the world and turn it upside down.”
“The Dead Ones” marks The Last Ten Seconds of Life’s Metal Blade debut. For the 10 original tracks produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, the band focused on the guitar, bass and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.”
In addition to Simonich on “Make It to Heaven,” the record features guest appearances by Nate Johnson (ex-Fit for an Autopsy) on “Rat Trap,” Alan Grnja of Distant on “Dollar to a Dime and Storm Strope, the original vocalist of The Last Ten Seconds of Life, on “XXXXXXXXXX.”
“After a few years of touring and writing together,” Beam said. “I think the four of us have really began to figure out what this new era is. We love and have always loved what this band was at its core, and we don’t ever want to stray from it, and with this album we have found a way to consolidate what makes this band unique at its core along with bringing our own new flavors to the table. We wanted it to be the heaviest shit you’ve ever heard while also digging itself into your brain so it can stick in your head. We’ve found what kind of songs we like to write and we’re sticking to it.”
