Bay Area Thrash Icons HEATHEN Release Video for Another Deep Dive Cover With “Twist of Faith”

Bay Area Thrash icons HEATHEN release 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 their album Lifeforce, featuring HEATHEN members Kragen Lum and Jason Mirza. Now that it has been “Heatheniz-ed,” the song comes as a demonstration of power in its own obscure right, for long-term fans and modern thrash enthusiasts alike.

HEATHEN about the cover:
“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 official music video for “Twist of Faith” NOW.

HEATHEN emerged from the San Francisco scene in 1984, leading the Bay Area thrash metal scene in their early years. Breaking The Silence (1987) and Victims Of Deception (1991) are staples of West Coast metal. After a few years of hiatus, they returned in 2001, their albums rare, but heavy-hitting – stay tuned! For now, they offer the Never A God maxi single available in exclusive formats listed below. The title track is available now!

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!”
