Official press release:
Roman Candle release their new single, “Blasphemous Act”, today alongside the announcement of their debut album, Unadulterated, due April 24th via Sumerian Records. Watch the music video below, stream the track HERE, and pre-save Unadulterated HERE.
Written in the final hours of the album sessions, “Blasphemous Act” arrived too loud and too late to leave behind. Built on raw, unfiltered vocals and dynamics that coil and crack under barely controlled pressure, the track maps the exact moment devotion tips feral, channelling obsession and retribution into something cathartic, unhinged, and ending in a repeated “run for your life” refrain that hits like a full stop.
The title came from a Magic: The Gathering card. The song went somewhere darker. Piper explains:
“‘Blasphemous Act’ was the last song we wrote for the record, and it hit with such ferocity that it forced its way onto the album in the eleventh hour. The name came from a Magic: The Gathering card, but the song took on a life of its own — this unhinged, teeth-bared spiral of obsession and retribution. Lines like ‘your neck in my teeth is all that I need’ and ‘karma is owed, paid in full’ captured a darker, more primal side of the band that we didn’t even know we were still capable of tapping into. By the time it explodes into that repeated ‘run for your life’ refrain, it felt clear: the record wouldn’t be complete without this song.”
“Blasphemous Act” is the seventh single from the Las Vegas quartet since signing to Sumerian Records, following “Fire In The Night Sky Forever”, “This Band Has Led Me To Places I Wouldn’t Go With A Gun”, “Nothing Is Original”, “Bite Harder Than You Bleed” and “Lady Lazarus”. Each release has pushed further into the emotional extremity that defines Unadulterated: a record built around no compromise and no mercy, and the full realisation of what Roman Candle came here to prove.
To date, the band has amassed 2.8 million streams across all platforms and 400,000 YouTube views, steadily building a devoted following through relentless live performances and emotionally resonant songwriting.
