Lexi Layne, the Los Angeles alternative metal artist whose 2025 EP High Priestess Volume I surpassed 2.4 million streams, drew over 55,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and earned editorial placements on Spotify’s All New Metal and Apple Music’s New Music Daily, today announces her new single “Judgement,” out May 15, 2026, via Community Music.

Produced by Kevin McCombs (Papa Roach, Story of the Year), “Judgement” marks the next chapter in Lexi Layne’s tarot-driven narrative arc, the body of work that has anchored her artistic identity since 2025. Where the EP’s earlier singles “The Tower” and “The Devil” explored collapse and temptation, “Judgement” confronts reckoning: the moment a life splits in two, and a choice has to be made.

She comments:

“‘Judgement’ is a visceral anthem about standing in the fire of public scrutiny and emerging transformed. Blending haunting tarot-inspired imagery with explosive emotion, channeling the chaos of condemnation into power, resilience, and self-acceptance.”
