BAEST have announced a new album!
Titled Colossal, the upcoming album from the Danish death metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s Necro Sapiens, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Century Media Records.
The upcoming album was produced by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio [HEAVEN SHALL BURN, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE HAUNTED etc].
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “paying homage to the heavy metal roots of our music, we wanted to incorporate fast, classic and rocking riffs. This album showcases our passion for melody and a new direction for our death metal. Keeping the energy of former releases and adding new flavours to the inferno, Colossal stands out as an honest, original and exciting release. Recording it over the course of two years at Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen has been a different but exciting process, leaving a lot of space in between material released off the album, with the two first singles Colossus and Imp Of The Perverse being almost a year old by now.
We found that giving songs more time to grow felt right, and we also had to reinvent our own style and sound in that process, which leads to our satisfaction with Colossal – it’s a broad album sound wise, and we feel this is the essence of BAEST. Playing some of the new tracks live on our recent tour with Danish rock legends D-A-D was helpful in cementing the appeal of the new tracks and helped us finish the album recordings between those shows. Next up, we embark on our first ever U.S./North America run supporting ARCH ENEMY, and we are following this tour up with a ton of European festivals. This will be the perfect platform to show the new material and get feedback from the fans – see you on the road!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, BAEST have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Misfortunate Son. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Colossus and Imp OF The Perverse.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Misfortunate Son is the newest single release from our upcoming fourth album Colossal. Recorded at Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen [THE HAUNTED, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, MESHUGGAH], it brings forth a blend of melody and brutality. The song showcases our passion for classic heavy metal riffing while incorporating the signature catchiness we always strive for with BAEST! We brought our Danish heroes ORM to add some eerie vocals, contributing a darker mood to the track…”
