Bridear announce new album ‘Aegis Of Athena’
BRIDEAR have announced a new album!
Titled Aegis Of Athena, the upcoming album from the Japanese metal band is the follow-up to last year’s Bloody Bride, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Setsuzoku Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Kimi says it is “an ambitious balance of what inspires us – the new wave of British heavy metal and traditional hard rock bands with strong melodies,” while bassist Haru claims “the arrangements and songwriting are really powerful. It will be amazing to play these new songs live!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; Ray Of Chaos. “It’s definitely one of our best songs,” says rhythm guitarist Ayumi about the new song “It’s a powerful declaration of carving our path and getting the last laugh on those who never believed in us. Bluesy and heavy guitar riffs with a strength conveyed in the lead vocals unlike anything we have done.”
