BORN TO SURVIVE EP DROPS OCTOBER 30

HEADLINING U.S. TOUR KICKS OFF OCTOBER 14 IN LITTLE ROCK

OFFICIAL VIDEO DIRECTED BY MICHAEL LEVINE STARS LINDEMANN DRUMMER JOE LETZ

Heavy subject. Heavy guitars. Very questionable medical ethics. Watch Now:

LOS ANGELES, CA — With A Vengeance released their new single “Oblivion” today accompanied by an official music video directed by Michael Levine.

The band features founding Bad Wolves members Tommy Vext and Chris Cain, plus former Bad Wolves bassist Kevin Creekman, alongside drummer Austin D’Amond and guitarist Xander Raymond Charles.

“Oblivion” hits with the blunt force of groove metal while pulling from the swagger and rhythmic vocal attack of early-2000s rap metal, anchored by a huge melodic chorus built for bigger audiences.

Lyrically, the song turns toward mental health and the complicated relationship between patients and psychiatric medicine, raising questions around informed consent, responsible treatment and unintended consequences.

“Oblivion is about questioning what happens when something intended to help starts creating consequences of its own,” says vocalist Tommy Vext. “It’s a serious subject, but we didn’t want to preach — we wanted to make a heavy, aggressive song with a massive chorus and let the video take the idea somewhere completely unhinged.”

The video does exactly that. Joe Letz of Lindemann appears as an unhinged mad scientist who captures, tortures and biologically reengineers the members of With A Vengeance, landing somewhere between a midnight horror movie and a pharmaceutical commercial gone catastrophically off script.

“Oblivion” serves as the opening statement from a band intent on establishing an identity entirely its own and is the first single from the upcoming Born To Survive EP, dropping October 30, 2026.

Born To Survive was produced by Matt Guglielmo (the official drummer and a producer for

The Acacia Strain) with vocal production by Spencer Sotelo (vocalist for Periphery).

With A Vengeance will launch their headlining U.S. tour on October 14 in Little Rock!

About With A Vengeance:

With A Vengeance is a modern hard rock supergroup built by the architects of one of the genre’s biggest success stories. Reuniting founding Bad Wolves members Tommy Vext and Chris Cain, the band brings together the principal creative forces behind the songs that helped define a generation of active rock, including the multi platinum global smash “Zombie.” Blending massive arena choruses with crushing metalcore influences, groove, melody, and raw emotion, With A Vengeance captures everything fans loved about modern hard rock while pushing the sound into a bold new era.

The lineup is completed by an exceptional group of musicians. Austin D’Amond, celebrated for his explosive work with DevilDriver and Chimaira, provides the relentless power and precision that has made him one of heavy music’s most respected drummers. Guitarist Xander Raymond Charles brings a fresh creative voice through groove driven riffs, modern djent inspired textures, and remarkable technical ability that gives the band’s sound a contemporary edge. Bassist Kevin Creekman, known for his work with Peyton Parrish and Bad Wolves, anchors the rhythm section with commanding stage presence, thunderous performances, and undeniable chemistry.

Together, these accomplished musicians create something that feels both familiar and completely new. With A Vengeance is not looking back. The band is building on a proven legacy while forging its own identity through world class musicianship, unforgettable songs, and a live show designed to stand alongside the biggest names in modern rock and metal. It is the sound of artists at the peak of their craft with unfinished business and a shared vision for the future.
