Fili Bibiano’s Fortress announce second album “Death Is Your Master” on High Roller Records

Fili Bibiano’s Fortress confirm the arrival of their second full‑length album Death Is Your Master, scheduled for release on 30 January 2026 through High Roller Records. The band have also unveiled a new lyric video for the track Fugitive.

Formed in Whittier, California in 2016, the group established themselves with a debut EP before releasing their first album Don’t Spare The Wicked in 2021. To distinguish themselves from other bands using the same name, the project now operates under the title Fili Bibiano’s Fortress, honouring the band’s founder and primary creative force.

Death Is Your Master marks the next chapter for the traditional heavy metal outfit. The album features Fili Bibiano on guitar, bass and synth, with Joey Mancaruso on drums and Juan Aguila on lead vocals. Recording took place at Black Light Studio in Gardena, California, as well as Brothers Marc Studio, with production handled by Fili Bibiano.

The record continues the band’s signature approach, driven by Bibiano’s neo‑classical guitar style, which remains a defining element of the Fortress sound.
