Canada's VICTORIA LIES Gives You A Sweet Taste of "Truth and Sugar" From Debut Album "Vendetta" Out Oct 2026!
Calgary’s cinematic metalcore force Victoria Lies are giving fans a sweet taste of "Truth and Sugar", the third single from their upcoming debut full‑length "Vendetta," due out on October 30th, 2026 via Black Cat Records. The track follows the explosive momentum of earlier singles “Weaving Webs” and “Red,” each revealing a different facet of the band’s genre‑bending identity and the dark, evolving universe at the heart of "Vendetta."
“Truth and Sugar” marks a pivotal moment in the concept album’s narrative, showcasing Victoria, the story’s central character, now hardened, confident, and far from finished. Vocalist Brett Hetherington crafted the track as a duet, intentionally spotlighting the guest vocals from Ari Grey to heighten the emotional tension and expand the sonic palette.
“I really enjoyed writing the lyrics to this song; it was a new challenge for me as I had never written a song that had two lead singers before… This song follows our current‑day Victoria now that she has some experience and confidence. She is far from finished,” adds Brett.
Musically, “Truth and Sugar” continues the band’s commitment to pushing beyond metalcore conventions, melding groove, atmosphere, and theatrical storytelling into a track that feels both intimate and explosive.
