Audrey Horne announce new album ‘Devil’s Bell’
AUDREY HORNE have announced a new album!
Titled Devil’s Bell, the upcoming album from the Norwegian hard rock band is the follow-up to 2018’s Blackout, and is scheduled to be released in April this year via Napalm Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, frontman Toschie says, “20 years into our career, we are proud to say we have made probably our strongest album so far. It was made during a time of lockdown and isolation, so it became a very focused album, and an album on our own terms, even more than previously. It is 100% homegrown as we recorded it ourselves, Arve produced it and our long time ‘secret’ member Herbrand Larsen mixed it. This goes for both the music and the lyrics. The song structures are a bit more complex and this also leads to longer songs in general. We have included an instrumental song on the album that really focuses on the chemistry of the band and the dynamic of us playing together. We wanted the album to have the organic feeling from the 70s and 80s records we all grew up listening to but with a more modern sound to it. We wanted a good balance between more produced songs and some songs with a more live feel to them without too many layers and overdubs. We are really happy with the way the whole album turned out and we feel that we kept the essence of the AUDREY HORNE but with a few new flavors added. Hope you’ll have as much fun listening to it as we had making it!“
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Devil’s Bell. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Toschie adds, “we are truly excited to be back and to present the first song from our upcoming album: Devil’s Bell. The title track has the classic AUDREY HORNE sound with twin guitars, catchy melody lines and the strongest rhythm foundation since Fort Knox. The song Devil’s Bell is a song for the freaks of nature of this world, celebrating our differences! The video was directed by Francisco Munoz, who has made the recent ABBATH videos amongst others. Sound the Devil’s bell!”
