VALLETTA unleashes pure fury on their second EP, “Bitter Lucid Truth”, out this October via Germany’s LIFEFORCE RECORDS. Fueled by raw anger toward today’s political climate, the Raleigh, NC quartet transforms venom into powerful, melodic outbursts that are both soaring and scathing.
Following their 2024 debut “Summer” (Forcefield Records), this new release dials up the intensity – wielding riffs like weapons and blending anthemic hooks with neo-crust fire. Highlights like “Cold Death” and “Spitting the Word” channel influences from Tribulation and Kvelertak to Tragedy, showcasing the band’s dynamic evolution.
Written and recorded in early 2025, the “Bitter Lucid Truth” EP was tracked by Al Jacob (He Is Legend, Wailin Storms) at Warrior Sound with input from Inter Arma’s TJ Childers, and mastered by Matt Tuttle (Codeseven). It’s a lean, explosive statement and a bold step forward from a lineup whose pedigree includes Lord Almighty, Mo’ynoq, Prayer For Cleansing and Between the Buried And Me.

TRACK LISTING:
- Blood and Jesus
- Cold Death
- Aggressor
- Doing Well
- Spitting the Word
