News: Fear Not has released a brand-new single, ‘Higher’

The Creed cover offers the first taste of the band’s upcoming Roxx Records album, The Scales of Hypocrisy.

Released September 11, 2026, the track serves as the first single from the band’s upcoming album, The Scales of Hypocrisy, which is expected later this fall or winter.

“Higher” is Fear Not’s take on the Creed classic, staying close to the spirit of the original while giving the song the band’s own hard rock treatment. The single is available now across streaming and download platforms, with an official lyric video also premiering alongside the release.

Roxx Records has also revealed that fans attending this year’s Immortal Fest will have the opportunity to purchase an extremely limited promotional CD featuring the entire upcoming album months ahead of its official release.

The Scales of Hypocrisy is also planned for release on CD and limited-edition vinyl, with additional details expected soon.

For now, “Higher” offers the first glimpse of what Fear Not has coming next.
