Today, they also share the video for the explosive album opener "One By One." The video features footage culled from the band's Winter 2026 U.S. tour with Malevolence — which marked their first time headlining America. If you've yet to experience a Guilt Trip moshpit or live show, then this video will put you front and center, experiencing all of the explosive energy and metallic maelstrom the band is known for.

"We are proud to unleash our brand new record Armor of Angels on the world," the band enthuses. "We put everything Guilt Trip lives and breathes into this LP and we are excited to finally share what we have been working on over the past three years. We believe these songs embody our journey from the very beginning to now, everything we have experienced over the past decade translated into twelve tracks. The first of which is 'One by One,' just under 4 minutes of riffs, grooves, and aggression Guilt Trip have come to be known for. Thank you for your unwavering support throughout years, we hope you can enjoy and relate to these songs as much as we do."

Guilt Trip's release weekend is packed with exciting events. The Armour Of Angels x Adidas pop-up shop, featuring the band's Adidas Superstar shoe, is set for Saturday, June 6 at The New Cross Manchester. Details are here.

Guilt Trip will also play a philanthropy-driven show at Star & Garter in Manchester on Sunday, June 7. Tickets sold out instantly and all proceeds are going to Lifeshare (supporting the homeless in Manchester) and Senior Staffy Club (rescuing + re-homing Staffys). The band is then matching proceeds for Manchester Women's Aid and Andy's Man Club.

Armour Of Angels has garnered intense critical acclaim in the months leading up to release, with Rolling Stone UK christening the band as the future of UK music. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, saying, "What is a feat is trying to pick highlights on an album so stuffed with moments of quality." Revolver deemed Guilt Trip's music simply and effectively, calling it "scorching."
