New studio album by the french Sleaze Rock band BLACKRAIN has been announced for November 2022 –
29th July 2022âWe love the powerful sound, the banging drums, this awesome mix of catchy melodies and aggression that permeates âUntamedâ from the very beginning,â bassist Matthieu de la Roche enthuses and goes on naming the producer of the new quality work: Hannes Braun, frontman of the German hard rockers Kissin` Dynamite and an important figure in sound engineering. De la Roche: âHannes told us: ´I love your songs, your show really has excited me, I know exactly how your next record should sound!` Thanks to his help, we found the sound weâve been looking for for ten years.â
The connection between the French group and their German producer was practically self-evident: BlackRain accompanied Kissin` Dynamite on their last European tour and they were friends for about a decade. âKissin Dynamite was our support band in 2009 in a big gig in Paris. Now we are supporting them, and we are fine with this because it allowed us to cross Europe and catch a new public,â tells De La Roche. Out of this friendship sprang a fruitful collaboration. Swan, the singer and frontman: âI honestly don’t know how Hannes managed it, but whenever I sent him a new song for review and mix, he found that perfect last piece of the puzzle to refine it.â
You can feel this ambition in âUntamedâ, which will also be the first single/first video on July 29th, 2022. Three more songs will be released after the first single: âSummer Jesusâ will be released on August 26th, 2022, followed by âNeon Driftâ on September 30th (with a guest solo by Kissin` Dynamite guitarist Jim MĂźller), and âKiss The Skyâ on October 28th, 2022. With âUntamedâ (the cover artwork is done by the Asian graphic artist Yellow Mushi) BlackRain has definitely created a small masterpiece!
