Roman Candle announce debut album and drop new single

Roman Candle released their new single, “Blasphemous Act”, alongside the announcement of their debut album, “Unadulterated“, due April 24th via Sumerian Records.

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.

Hailing from the desert underground of Las Vegas – Roman Candle – Piper Ferrari, Jonas Vece, Sergio Lopez, and Alex Dupuis – form one of the most emotionally raw and compelling new voices in modern screamo.

What began as a creative spark between Piper and Jonas has evolved into a fully realized four-piece, blending serrated aggression with vulnerable lyricism and a deep sense of place within the current hardcore landscape.

Onstage, the band operates with total commitment. Piper‘s commanding vocal presence, Jonas‘s tense and dynamic guitar work, Sergio‘s driving low end, and Alex‘s explosive percussion combine into a live experience that feels both communal and cathartic. Their hometown support has swelled alongside national attention, positioning them firmly at the forefront of a new generation of screamo artists.
