Blame Zeus, the Portuguese heavy rock / alternative metal band, has launched their new single and video "Left For Dead", from their upcoming fourth studio album, Laudanum, which is scheduled for release on October 4th, 2023.

"Left For Dead" conveys a powerful message of resilience and the will to live, even in the face of adversity when the world seems to have turned against you. The song explores the transformation of negative emotions into motivation for positive change and, above all, the power of forgiveness.

Their music captures the essence of old-school rock and metal while presenting a modern sound characterized by rich melodies and poignant lyrics, complemented by the raw vocals of Sandra Oliveira.
