Death Lens Talk EU Crowds & Actors Playing Their Lives - Outbreak 2026

California based Death Lens left their mark on Outbreak Festival as they rounded off their mammoth UK/EU summer tour in style to a highly energetic room. They’re a band that write perfect stage dive anthems and for the oppressed, wielding a message of resilience and a sound of sweat-soaked celebration that appeals to outsiders of all stripes. What’s Left Now?, their first album since 2024’s Cold World and their second for Epitaph Records, is Death Lens’ most fully-realized record yet: crunchy, urgent, melancholy, raging, and so goddamn easy to headbang along to.  

What’s Left Now? is the product of two tumultuous years for Death Lens, both as people and as bandmates. The year Cold World dropped, the band toured for nine long months, honing their craft as live performers and increasing their fanbase tenfold. However, all of that time on the road stress-tested the band as an interpersonal unit, and Death Lens ended up shedding two members from the subsequent growing pains. Ultimately, they bounced back stronger than ever, gaining guitar virtuoso Ernie Gutierrez into the core lineup of frontman Bryan Torres, guitarist Jhon Reyes, and drummer Tony Rangel. Now, Death Lens are closer as friends and more musically in-sync than they’ve ever been, and What’s Left Now? is a testament to their glow-up. 

We caught up with Tony & Bryan from the band to dive into their own world to chat all things music, life on the road in Europe and even what actor would play their life.
