Black Stone Cherry announce new album ‘Screamin’ At The Sky’
BLACK STONE CHERRY have announced a new album!
Titled Screamin’ At The Sky, the upcoming album from the Kentucky-based hard rock band is the follow-up to 2020’s The Human Condition, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.
The upcoming album features all-new material written collaboratively while on tour, but when it came time to record, BLACK STONE CHERRY decided to try something they have always dreamed of doing: tracking an album at The Plaza Theater in Glasgow, Kentucky – a legendary 1020-seat venue built in 1934 that boasts meticulous acoustics. “Every time we played the Plaza we wondered what it would sound like to record drums there. We finally decided to put all our eggs in one basket,” vocalist/guitarist Chris Robertson says. In June of 2022, the band rented the whole place, brought in all its recording equipment and its trusty engineer, Jordan Westfall. They set up the basement as the control room and the stage as the live drum room.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “every band that puts out a new record will tell you they are excited – as they should be. However, we may take the award for being the most excited about releasing a new album into the world! We can guarantee that it’ll move you in one way or another. We had a lot to say lyrically, musically, and sonically. We pushed ourselves to create not only something relevant, but also pushing the envelope to bend the trend. We are truly proud of this collection of songs and we hope you’ll celebrate it with us.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Nervous. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album; following on from Out Of Pocket, which was released back in February.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, “filming the video for Nervous was an amazing experience, like being on a movie set! We spent the day in an old paint factory-turned-production studio that had all of these amazing sets for TV and movies. The actor, Mateo Palmitier, did an AMAZING job as the lead character and it was such a cool experience seeing all of these visions come to life thanks to our director, Kyle Loftus and his incredible team. We love how the video will go between our performance, a great story line, and some killer visuals!”
