Canadian death metalers Truent return with a vengeance as they release their crushing new single and music video “Vilemaker.” Check it out below.
“‘Vilemaker’ is the most recent song we’ve written. There was a lot of deliberation on the structure and placement of certain parts, but it came together in a very satisfying way. It’s also the first song Darian (Mazloomi) has written lyrics for,” says drummer Nicolas Landry.
According to Landry, fans can expect a noticeable evolution in the band’s songwriting and sonic identity. The new material is raw, dynamic, and intentionally less polished than much of today’s hyper‑produced metal, without sacrificing clarity or tone.
“We’ve really strived for a rawer sound this time around … This is some of our most dynamic music thus far, and we wanted the production to reflect that.”
Lyrically, the upcoming releases lean heavily into nihilism, frustration, and societal disillusionment, each song telling its own story through vivid imagery and shifting points of view.
Truent will release a limited but steady stream of singles throughout 2026 ahead of a future full release.
