California’s hardcore heavyweights Lionheart push their current reign even further and now unleash their brand-new single “Salt The Earth.” Building on the massive momentum of their recent run – from the comeback strike “Bulletproof,” through the pit-igniting “Roll Call,” the explosive “Death Grip” featuring Kevin Skaff of A Day To Remember, and last week’s powerful title track “Valley Of Death II” – the Oakland kings make it unmistakably clear that this new era is firing on all cylinders.
With “Salt The Earth,” Lionheart deliver another uncompromising statement, driven by crushing grooves, merciless riffs, and commanding gang shouts that hit with absolute authority. The new single perfectly continues the band’s unstoppable streak and underlines why the response to their recent releases has been nothing short of overwhelming. One track after another, Lionheart prove that they have fully reclaimed their position at the top of modern hardcore.
With pre-orders already in full swing, Lionheart are charging full speed toward the release of Valley Of Death II, set to drop on January 9th, 2026 via Arising Empire. Serving as the long-awaited sequel to their 2019 fan-favorite, the album promises a darker, heavier, and more aggressive chapter in the band’s legacy.
To complete this massive cycle, Lionheart will return to Europe in January 2026 for a huge headline tour, joined by Madball, Gideon, and Slope. From the first comeback blow of “Bulletproof” to the latest strike “Salt The Earth,” Lionheart leave no doubt: this era isn’t about survival – it’s about total domination.
