FRAYLE Drops Cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” + Announces New Album

Following chillingly dark recent single “Walking Wounded”  – a track Revolver named one of the best tracks of its release week and “exquisitely funereal” – Cleveland, Ohio doom metal dealers FRAYLE are pleased to reveals details about their upcoming third full length album, entitled Heretics & Lullabies, out in October 10, 2025 via Napalm Records.

FRAYLE has been lauded as one of the fastest-rising, most haunting currently active modern doom metal outfits of late, infusing their sound with eclectic elements and now reinventing their trademark spectral sonic profile. Merging the heaviness of occult-driven doom and blackgaze with frontwoman Gwyn Strang’s distinctively eerie vocal stylings and the crushing guitars of Sean Bilovecky, the band has fully realized their “lullabies of chaos” musical vision with Heretics & Lullabies.

Alongside today’s album announcement, FRAYLE has launched a brand-new cover of Lana Del Rey favorite “Summertime Sadness”. Embers of the original slowly burn through the band’s ethereal, shadowy sonic rework of the hit song, providing a fitting closer to the summer season as autumn looms near.

FRAYLE says about the “Summertime Sadness” cover:
“We’ve always been fans of songwriting with notes of melancholy, no matter what the genre. Hearing ‘Summertime Sadness’ for the first time was special. Everything seemed to fall into place for us with little resistance on this song. It was the first rough mix we got back from our producer. He added the pause before the breath leading into the first chorus and upon hearing it, we knew we had something special.”
