Today, hard rock veterans SPREAD EAGLE are thrilled to release their new album ‘The Brutal Divine,’ out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The band also shares the new track “Forbidden Local Honey,” along with an official visualizer, available below.
SPREAD EAGLE are currently on the road on “The Brutal Divine Tour 2026,” with dates across the US, and in UK and Europe throughout the summer. For the full list of dates, please see below and HERE.
The band comments:
“Actually, we’re not entirely sure what this song is about. There are references to the drug trade and to a certain singer who often flies between Brooklyn and Florida to ply his wares. Add in some sexual innuendos and it makes one hell of a sleazy rocker… Enjoy!”

‘The Brutal Divine’ is SPREAD EAGLE’s long-awaited fourth studio album and a fierce new chapter in the band’s uncompromising legacy. Known for their raw energy, streetwise attitude, and explosive live performances, they once again prove why they remain a vital force in modern hard rock.
The band described the new record as “an emotionally and musically heavy body of songs showcasing a unique command of power, dynamics, and melody. We have harnessed the energy of years of non-stop touring and turned it into a metal/punk thrill ride of an album.”
“Lyrically, ‘The Brutal Divine’ challenges us to question our views and ask if we’re truly as free-thinking as we may believe. Once that question is posed, the album progresses towards uplifting messages of hope and community”, they continued.
Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Ray West, the band delivers a powerful collection of songs that balance grit and melody, aggression and soul. Guitarist Gianmaria “Jommy” Puledda injects the record with razor-sharp riffs and soaring harmonies, while Rob De Luca (bass, vocals) and Rik De Luca (drums) form a thunderous rhythmic backbone that drives every track with authority and groove.
Produced by Rob De Luca, ‘The Brutal Divine’ captures the band at their most focused and dynamic – blending their classic hard rock roots with a darker, heavier edge. The album channels the intensity and authenticity that first put SPREAD EAGLE on the map, while showcasing a band that continues to evolve without losing its identity.
With a full slate of live dates planned in support of the release, SPREAD EAGLE is ready to bring ‘The Brutal Divine’ to stages around the world – where their music truly comes alive. This is hard rock delivered with conviction, attitude, and fire.
