Hanoi “nu-death” force GAI 荄 have returned with a quiet detonation. No teasers, no buildup, no promo campaign, just a sudden release of their new single “Never Thought”, now streaming everywhere. The drop comes as the band readies the January 9th, 2026 expanded edition of their debut album “You Lie,” set to include two bonus tracks.
“Never Thought” marks another GAI 荄’s international collaboration, featuring Ida Bagus Bayu Atmaja from Bali-based melodic hardcore act Past Fiction. Fans who’ve followed GAI 荄 through our earlier coverage will find familiar strengths here: heavy, technical riffs, knack for writing hooks that hit hard sonically.
Stream “Never Thought” everywhere, and mark January 9th for what comes next.
