Texas’ crossover thrash metalheads LIFE CYCLES have released their new EP, No One Escapes Death, today via 1126 Records. The riveting new record arrives just days before the band hits the stages across North America on tour with Bleed From Within and Sylosis.
Drummer Xavier Rios recently commented on the EP:
“This record is an expansion of our crossover sound with a focus on groove and detail in the riffs. We really wanted to display the journey we’ve been on as a band the last couple of years through this project. The energy is on 10 and we have a little bit of new flavor this time around.”
Following a string of relentless singles and EP’s and countless ferocious live shows over the last decade, the five-piece continues their warpath, showing no mercy on their latest release, comprised of 6 face-melting tracks like “The End Still Waits,” “Fatal Path” and “Soul In Chains” (Feat. Matt Heafy of Trivium) that feature the band’s signature concoction of brutal thrash, hardcore and death metal.
About LIFE CYCLES:
San Antonio thrash prodigies Life Cycles are doubling down on their classic Texas sound with 2026’s No One Escapes Death.
The crew’s take on classic Texas thrash is excellent, pairing mean riffs with technical precision while never losing sight of the infectious groove that dominates the sound.
“We write music that we genuinely like,” said vocalist Luis Lopez. “That we would listen to, instead of trying to be like something else. This group doesn’t operate in a box—we write the music that we like to hear.”
The record perfectly captures the energy of the group’s live shows.
“It’s a party when we play,” explained drummer Xavier Rios. “I always tell people that don’t like metal ‘come to these shows’ because you’re going to have a good time.”
