THE DROP
Nevertel have released 'LAST BREATH', a standalone single and their second drop of 2026 *†. It was written while the band was stuck in a Nashville ice storm with songwriter Gianni Taylor, and vocalist Raul Lopez says the gloom in the track is exactly what they were feeling at the time *†.
WHAT TO KNOW
- Follows the Florida band's earlier 2026 single 'OTHERSIDE' — no album or EP announced *†.
- Written and produced in-house by vocalists Jeremy Michael and Raul Lopez, with Gianni Taylor co-writing *†.
- Described as atmospheric modern metal built on rising tension before a heavy payoff *, pairing melodic hooks with heavy passages and breakdowns †.
- Lyrics deal with internal conflict and pushing forward through self-doubt *†.
- The video, made by Jeremy Michael and Alex Kouvatsos of Blackwolf Imaging, puts the band in dystopian dreamscapes fighting out of synthetic realities *†.
THE TAKE
Bands that self-produce usually know exactly what they want, and "dark and gloomy" written in an ice storm is a specific enough mood that it should actually show up in the mix rather than getting sanded off. Two singles deep into 2026 with no record announced, the interesting question is whether Nevertel are building toward something or just picking off standalone tracks one at a time.
