HEATHEN releases cover version of early 1990s PSYCHOSIS song 'Twist Of Faith'
24-04-2026
San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans HEATHEN have released another deep-dive cover of their members’ musical history to celebrate their signing to Napalm Records. The new single, “Twist Of Faith”, was originally released by PSYCHOSIS in 1992 as the opening track of that band’s album “Lifeforce”, featuring HEATHEN members Kragen Lum and Jason Mirza.
Watch “Twist Of Faith” below.
HEATHEN comments: “Let’s keep things rolling with new music for 2026! ‘Twist Of Faith’ is another early 1990s-era song that we gave the HEATHEN treatment. Demo collectors may have heard the original PSYCHOSIS recording of the song (with Kragen Lum on guitar and Jason Mirza on bass),but we’ve added some new elements and taken it to the next level!
“We have another 15 songs in various stages of production right now so enjoy the ‘Never A God’ 12″ maxi single with ‘Twist Of Faith’ and get ready for the new album (and more).”
Watch the previously released “Never A God” below.
HEATHEN about “Never A God”:
“We’re going to start this new partnership with Napalm Records off with a bang and give you something new to listen to while we continue to work on the new HEATHEN album. With that in mind, we recorded a couple of classic Bay Area Thrash tracks originally written by other bands that we played with in the early 1990s. The demo collectors out there may have heard these songs before, but they’ll be new to most of you. The first single is ‘Never A God’, originally recorded in demo form (with David White on vocals) by Laughing Dead. So, new record label, new music, new video, 12” Maxi Single pre-order, and a tour with Coroner in North America starting tomorrow. LFG!”
HEATHEN comments on the signing: “We’re very proud to announce that HEATHEN has officially signed with Napalm Records! Joining forces with a team who shares our vision, our drive, and our passion for metal music. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. We’re fired up for what’s coming and can’t wait to complete work on the new HEATHEN album!”
Napalm Records senior A&R Sebastian Münch states about the signing: “We are incredibly proud and excited to welcome the legendary Californian thrash metal band HEATHEN to the Napalm Records family. HEATHEN are true icons of the genre, and working with them is an absolute honor. We strongly believe in this partnership and are thrilled to take the next chapter of HEATHEN‘s legacy to new heights together.”
