After a period of inactivity between 2013 and 2017, the legendary band Bride entered a frenetic rhythm of releases totaling 3 albums, 1 EP, 1 Christmas album, 1 bluegrass album and 1 acoustic album released from 2018 until now, with no sign of slowing down.
And the next chapter of this story already has a name: “Vipers And Shadows”, which will be the band’s first double album and will feature a total of 20 tracks. ‘Wrath’, ‘Fall To Pieces‘ and ‘Watcha Doing Out‘ are some of the titles already announced.
According to guitarist Troy Thompson, “We knew we had a lot of songs for this next project, and instead of cutting some of them, we decided to include them all. In addition, we will be releasing another album at the same time, called ‘Lost Reels IV’ This will be an EP that contains songs that didn’t make it onto the double CD.”
And about the sound of the album, he adds, “I will be playing every instrument on the album, except the drums. I grew up playing violin, cello and mandolin, so we always include those different instruments in our recordings. I think it adds something special to our music that a lot of other hard rock and heavy metal bands don’t have. There will even be some piano and keyboards in there too, which I’m also playing”.
In addition to Troy and his brother Dale Thompson (vocals), Bride will have the brazilian Alexandre Aposan as drummer on “Vipers And Shadows”, thus continuing the partnership that began in 2018. The album cover was handled by Rafael Tavares (Tavares Artwork) and the sound engineering as well as the mixing and mastering will be handled by Nenel Lucena, who together with Alexandre toured with the band during a 6-date tour in Brazil in 2024.
“Vipers And Shadows” is scheduled for release in May and is now available for pre-sale in several options through the website https://www.bridepub.com/ .
