The Devil Wears Nada has released “Brat With A Baseball Bat,” the lead single from their upcoming sophomore album ‘In Lust We Thrust,’ arriving July 3, 2026 on CD and limited-edition colored vinyl via Eönian Records. Pre-orders launch in late spring at eonianrecords.com. The single arrives with a lyric video and announces a band operating at full throttle, arena-sized hooks, unapologetic swagger, and a chorus built to ignite rooms.
The track sits squarely in the tradition of classic Scandinavian hard rock, carrying the anthemic grandeur of Europe and the bombastic punch of KISS while sharpening both with modern production. Thematically it moves through confrontation, betrayal, and the surge of reclaiming control, and it does all of that without once losing momentum. “Big melodies, sharp edges, and a heartbeat that feels like it might explode at any second,” says drummer and founder Ludvig Alfvén. “That’s THE DEVIL WEARS NADA in its purest form.”
The band hails from Falköping, Sweden, and draws theatrical energy from Alice Cooper, Ghost, and Lordi while rooting their sound in the melodic hard rock and glam metal of the mid-1980s through early 1990s. Their debut album ‘Postalgia,’ originally released under the name Adecence in a pressing of just 100 CDs, was remastered and reissued under the current name with expanded packaging and two new studio recordings, becoming one of Eönian Records’ best-selling titles.
‘In Lust We Thrust’ features 11 tracks including “Victoria,” which features Evan Stanley as a guest. Guitarist Henrik Westergren frames the band’s creative core directly: “Take the raw pulse of the ’70s and ’80s hard rock and glam metal, and mix it with our fascination for the macabre and the dramatic. That’s where THE DEVIL WEARS NADA lives.” Fans of Nestor, Da Vinci, 220 Volt, and FM will find exactly what they are looking for here, and then some.
This is melodic rock built from genuine passion and delivered without apology. ‘In Lust We Thrust’ is one of the more exciting hard rock releases on the 2026 calendar.
