Indianapolis, Indiana - (Friday, March 6, 2026) - Swedish melodic rock force THE DEVIL WEARS NADA proudly announces the release of their explosive new single and lyric video, “Brat With A Baseball Bat,” alongside details of their highly anticipated sophomore album, In Lust We Thrust, arriving on compact disc and limited-edition colored vinyl via Eönian Records on Friday, July 3, 2026. Pre-orders will launch in late spring at www.eonianrecords.com.

“Brat With A Baseball Bat” delivers a high-voltage blast of arena-sized hooks and unapologetic swagger. Fueled by the anthemic grandeur of Europe and the bombastic punch of KISS, the track captures the spirit of classic ‘80s hard rock and glam metal while sharpening it with a modern, razor-edged production.

Driven by soaring melodies, muscular riffs, and relentless momentum, the single explores themes of confrontation, redemption, and the fine line between vengeance and empowerment. It channels the raw emotional surge of reclaiming control in the wake of betrayal, culminating in a chorus designed to ignite stages and resonate long after the final note fades. Bold, fearless, and impossible to ignore, “Brat With A Baseball Bat” stands as a defining statement of intent.

Ludvig Alfvén, drummer and founder, “I’ve always loved the tension between beauty and chaos. This song lives right in that space; big melodies, sharp edges, and a heartbeat that feels like it might explode at any second. That’s THE DEVIL WEARS NADA in its purest form.”

Scandinavia has long been a breeding ground for world-class melodic rock and AOR, and from Falköping, Sweden, THE DEVIL WEARS NADA emerges as a formidable new torchbearer of that tradition. Rooted in the golden era of melodic hard rock, from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, the band fuses nostalgic grandeur with a dramatic, contemporary edge. Drawing theatrical inspiration from icons such as Alice Cooper, Ghost, and Lordi, they seamlessly merge arena-ready Scandinavian melodies with horror aesthetics and vintage hard rock energy.

Their debut album, Postalgia on Eönian Records, earned global acclaim for its signature blend of cinematic flair, soaring vocal lines, and hook-laden choruses. Initially released under the name Adecence in an ultra-limited pressing of just 100 CDs, the album quickly became a coveted collector’s item. Reintroduced and remastered under THE DEVIL WEARS NADA, featured two new studio recordings, a high-octane cover of “1989” by fellow Swedish rockers Nestor, and expanded deluxe packaging; the release became one of Eönian Records’ best-selling titles.

With In Lust We Thrust, THE DEVIL WEARS NADA hope to shatter expectations and raise their creative bar to towering new heights. Fans of Nestor, Da Vinci, 220 Volt, and FM will recognize the soaring hooks, polished harmonies, and arena-sized ambition that define classic Scandinavian melodic rock. Yet this is far more than a nostalgic revival, it’s a bold reawakening.

Brimming with explosive choruses, cinematic atmosphere, and razor-sharp modern production, In Lust We Thrust plans to deliver a revitalized, high-impact vision of the genre, poised to captivate longtime ’80s hard rock and glam metal loyalists and ignite a new generation of melodic rock devotees alike.

Guitarist Henrik Westergren describes the band’s sound, “Take the raw pulse of the ’70s, ‘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.”

“It’s Ludvig’s songwriting sensibility mixed with our collective love for the bizarre and dramatic,” Westergren adds. “It creates something that’s both familiar and unsettling; in the best way possible.”

He concludes: “If you’re reading this, thank you, for taking the time to listen, and hopefully for supporting this album built from blood, sweat, and countless hours of passion. Let’s keep the spirit of melodic rock alive and loud. THE DEVIL WEARS NADA is just getting started.”
