Bokassa announce new album ‘Crimson Riders’
BOKASSA have announced a new album!
Titled Crimson Riders, the upcoming album from the Norwegian trio is set to be released in June via a freshly inked deal with Brighton-based record label, MVKA (home to ZEAL & ARDOR).
The upcoming album was recorded back home in Trondheim’s Brygga Studio, with production by the band together with Yngve Andersen (BLOOD COMMAND), mixing by Simon Jackman, and mastering by the legendary Brian ‘Big Bass’ Gardener. Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we are very excited to release Crimson Riders. Nine songs which revolve around everything from cults, religion, and border patrols to beer-drinking anti-heroes and immortal space pirates! Sonically, the album gives the listener everything from classic stoner-punk tracks, groovy desert songs, and high speed thrash metal, to hardcore-oriented sing-a-longs. This time we also played around with both cellos and saxophone in the studio so expect a few curve-balls here and there.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have launched the first single from the upcoming record; titled Mouthbreathers Inc.. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Mouthbreathers Inc. is written from the perspective of a dictator/cult leader when everything starts going south – which it inevitably always does. The track makes for classic BOKASSA with a pummelling lead riff, angry vocals, breakdowns, and a hooky chorus to sing along to while the throne crumbles. Watch out for the sneaky saxophone lick!”
