THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KOMODO UNLEASH SECOND STUDIO ALBUM BATTLE PASS — OUT MAY 29, 2026

Panama City, Panama — Panamanian metal force Komodo are ready to hit the next level with the release of their highly anticipated second studio album Battle Pass , arriving on all digital platforms May 29, 2026 via Soman Records.

Forged through relentless touring, international recognition, and a fearless creative evolution, Komodo have built serious momentum leading into this release. The band claimed victory at the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle Central America, shared stages during Sepultura Farewell Tour , and took home “Band of the Year” and “Metal Single of the Year” at the Rockzany Music Awards. With performances across seven countries, they’ve proven they’re not just another rising act, they’re a band with teeth.

Instead of rushing into a traditional album cycle, Komodo took a sharp left turn after 2022. They ditched the conventional formula and embraced a “Battle Pass” mindset inspired by gaming culture. Rather than writing an album front to back, they focused on crafting standalone singles, each with its own identity, visual style, and sonic direction. No filler, no safety net, just high-impact releases.

That gamble paid off.

Battle Pass is the culmination of that era. It pulls together this series of singles along with four brand-new, unreleased tracks into a 10-song record that hits hard from every angle. The sound is dynamic and unapologetic, blending the razor-sharp aggression of Megadeth , the melodic ambition of Avenged Sevenfold , and the unpredictable vocal edge reminiscent of System of a Down . You get crushing breakdowns, soaring melodies, and hooks that stick whether you like it or not.

What makes this record stand out is its contrast. It’s heavy without being one-note, melodic without losing bite. You can hear the freedom in it. No label pressure, no forced cohesion. Just a band doing exactly what they want, and doing it well.

Now they’re wrapping that chapter up and kicking the door open to the next one.

With Battle Pass , Komodo deliver a record that not only defines where they’ve been but sets the tone for where they’re headed. And if this is them “between phases,” the next full-scale assault ought to be something else entirely.
