SUMMONER’S CIRCLE released “Pious” on 3 November 2026, introducing a new audio single from the US epic black and death metal band. Haley Grow of ARSENIC ADDICTION appears as a guest on the track, which is available through Bandcamp.
The song focuses on the darker side of faith rather than presenting belief as a source of comfort. SUMMONER’S CIRCLE use “Pious” to question the promises attached to redemption and to consider the consequences of surrendering one’s identity to a higher power. The subject places the single around religious devotion, personal autonomy and the damage that can follow when an individual allows a belief system to define them completely.
Haley Grow joins the single
Haley Grow appears on “Pious” as a guest musician with ARSENIC ADDICTION. The announcement identifies her contribution and band, but does not state her instrument, vocal role or any wider change to SUMMONER’S CIRCLE’s line-up. She is therefore connected to this single as a guest rather than presented as a member of the Knoxville band.
Four albums came first
“Pious” follows four albums by SUMMONER’S CIRCLE. The band comes from Knoxville, United States, and the new song extends its recorded work into a subject centred on faith, redemption and identity. The announcement does not provide a label, a full track list, tour dates or additional release formats, so the single is currently documented as an audio release on Bandcamp.
