Welsh rockers Scarlet Rebels have released the video for their new single, God’s Honest Truth, ahead of the arrival of their album Flawed By Design on 13 November 2026 through Earache Records. The band have also confirmed a run of UK record store appearances during release week.

The track is the fourth single from Flawed By Design, following This Is Happening Now, Don’t Look Down and Chains. This Is Happening Now previously featured in Classic Rock magazine’s Hot List.

What began as a guitar riff recorded on a phone developed over months of rehearsals. When Scarlet Rebels found they had studio time to record one more song, they returned to the idea. Its themes ultimately helped shape the album’s title, artwork and wider concept.

Frontman Wayne Doyle explains that the song emerged while he was grieving a friend and questioning the nature of higher powers, human flaws and the systems that govern everyday life. Those questions extend to humanity’s relationship with artificial intelligence and the possibility of passing human flaws into what it creates.

The accompanying video draws on the visual language of retro computer games, in which a character’s remaining health is shown by disappearing hearts. The imagery echoes the diminishing hearts on the album artwork, reflecting what Doyle sees as a loss of humanity.

Flawed By Design UK In-Store Tour 2026

The band will mark the album’s release with seven record store dates between 13 and 18 November, mixing stripped-back performances with full-band shows. The run begins at Derrick’s Music in Swansea and includes Huddersfield, Leeds, Kingston, Cardiff, Wrexham and Oxford.

Wayne says: “Being able to get in front of and meet everyone that’s stood tall for us for so long is really important to us. Being able to strip the songs back to their barest nature as well as having a few full band shows gives us and our Rebel Club the opportunity to celebrate the release of Flawed By Design in style.”
