Breed 77 announce new album ‘VII’
BREED 77 have announced a brand new album!
The Gibraltar and UK flamenco metal outfit have revealed their new album, VII, which is scheduled for release on November 13th. The upcoming record marks the band’s first new full-length album since 2013 and follows the previously released singles End Of The Line, Outside and Just Act Like You Know.
Speaking about the new album, frontman Paul Isola shares, “the recording of this album has taken place over a year and a half and three countries, the writing of it even more – it wasn’t the most ideal situation but I think we thrive through adversity, you take negatives and turn them into positives, use the time, hone the songs, develop them and explore where they take you. The result is an album with real musical depth…
VII is a sprawling, eclectic affair, not by design but by the nature of how we recorded it – it takes inspiration from a large period of our lives, kinda like our first album all over again haha! It straddles the spectrum from driving metal riffs and the energy we’re known for – to soft ballads and everything in-between!
This album still sounds like BREED 77, I mean, there’s the flamenco guitars, the tribal rhythms, the hooky vocal lines, but it stretches and pulls at the concept of B77 in a dozen different directions – it’s Breed evolved, somewhat familiar, but fresh and exciting.
Lyrically, VII explores various themes, there’s a lot in there on how, in today’s society, there’s so many of us that feel we don’t fit in; In the same way we felt in our youth, in the schoolyard – you’d think you’d have found your place in the world by now…well I’m here to say that it’s OK not to fit in, it’s OK to think different…it’s OK to BE different – it’s the original thinkers that will save the world!
We cannot stress how important, how vital this album is for BREED 77 – after so much time it was imperative to us to have music that we believed in, songs that were strong and could sit beside the crowd favourites in our set…VII is our mission statement – BREED 77 is back in a big way!”
