Swedish metalcore act Adept drops new single “Time Is A Destroyer”

Swedish metalcore band Adept has released a new song titled “Time Is A Destroyer”, part of their upcoming album “Blood Covenant”, due October 24, 2025 through Napalm Records. The track carries an atmosphere of existential dread and urgency, with a haunting acoustic foundation enriched by swelling strings.

This new single follows earlier releases in 2025 such as “Heaven”, “You”, “Ignore The Sun” and “Parting Ways”. The band had been mostly absent from the studio since 2016’s “Sleepless”, making this comeback especially long-awaited.

Adept currently consists of vocalist Robert Ljung, guitarists Gustav Lithammer and Kasper Larcombe-Tronstad, bassist Filip Brandelius, and drummer Gabriel Hellmark. After performing at Corefest in late 2024 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the band re-entered the studio and began teasing new material in early 2025.

To support the album, the band has lined up a European and UK tour later in 2025, celebrating two decades of their career.
