Titled Violet Hour, the upcoming album from the UK hard rock/doom metallers follows on the back of last year’s Amber & Gold and is scheduled to be released in October this year. The upcoming album will mark the band’s label debut at Heavy Psych Sounds.

Violet Hour sees the energy of the band’s dark, doom tinged hard rock being cranked up with the arrival of guitarist Dean Ashton (bass, DIAMOND HEAD) alongside the soaring vocals of Siân Greenaway and rhythmic foundation of Dan Burchmore and Jake Mason. The album was recorded at the historic Welsh Foel Studio and produced by Chris Fielding (CONAN, ELECTRIC WIZARD, PRIMORDIAL).
