2026 METAL/HARD MUSIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR I Counterparts | | The JUNO Awards

Heaven Let Them Die is a surprise EP by the Canadian band Counterparts, released in November 2024, that is more aggressive than their previous work and serves as a direct follow-up to their 2022 album A Eulogy for Those Still Here. The EP continues themes of grief and loss from the previous album, with frontman Brendan Murphy exploring the aftermath of loss and a desire for revenge against a higher power. Sonically, it features raw aggression, while lyrically, it deals with themes of pain, suffering, and the struggle to come to terms with what has been lost.
