Steak Post Video for New Single “Cometh”; New Album Due in Fall on Stickman Records
This is the best Steak song I’ve ever heard, and not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard all of them. The long-running London troupe were last heard from with 2022’s Acute Mania (review here) on Ripple Music, and ahead of hitting the road supporting All Them Witches next month in the UK, the five-piece unveil “Cometh” as the first taste of their next record, to be issued through Stickman this Fall. No doubt they’ll have tour dates around then as well.
Last time I saw Steak was at Freak Valley 2023 (review here), and the emergent dynamic was notable of frontman Chris “Kippa” Haley sharing vocal duties with guitarist Tom Cameron, who used to front Crystal Head, whose drummer, Dean Deal, is now also in Steak alongside Haley, bassist James “Cam” Cameron, and guitarist Reece Tee. I have to say, for a standalone singer who’s always kind of struck me as insecure, giving ground on sharing vocal duties — to the ultimate benefit of the band — speaks incredibly well to a lack of ego and to branching out in terms of artistry. You could hear it on Acute Mania to a degree, but “Cometh” slaps you in the face with who Steak are now, and again, they’ve never sounded better.
They’re doing the two Desertfests this month that I won’t be at, but hopefully I’ll get to catch them somewhere along the way at some point. Vegas next January for Planet Desert Rock Weekend? Sounds great. Will keep you posted when I hear more about the album in the meantime. Here’s this from the PR wire. Video’s at the bottom:
STEAK Unleash Music Video For Crushing New Single “Cometh”!
London-based heavy fuzz rock outfit STEAK have released their sludge-soaked new single “Cometh”, the first track to be revealed from their upcoming studio album, set for release in Autumn 2026 via Stickman Records.
“Cometh” arrives as a dense, doom-laden statement of intent; a slow-burning, crushing wall of fuzz that leans deep into the band’s signature blend of groove-heavy desert rock and monolithic riff worship. The track is accompanied by a striking dark animated video that visually amplifies the song’s ominous and immersive atmosphere. As the first glimpse into the forthcoming album, “Cometh” sets the tone for what promises to be STEAK’s heaviest and most expansive work to date.
STEAK will bring their high-voltage live presence to stages across Europe this year, including appearances at Desertfest Berlin and Desertfest London. Following these festival shows, the band will join All Them Witches as special guests on selected tour dates, further cementing their reputation as a must-see act within the heavy underground scene.

Hailing from London, STEAK have established themselves as a key force within the global desert rock and stoner scene. Known for their relentless riffs, hypnotic grooves, and high-energy live performances, the band has built a strong following across Europe and beyond.
Blending elements of classic heavy rock with modern fuzz-drenched intensity, STEAK continue to push their sound into darker and heavier territories while staying rooted in the spirit of the desert rock movement. Self-described as a “shit kickin’ band”, their ethos reflects the raw, no-frills energy that defines both their recordings and their explosive live shows.
