About two decades since the release of their latest studio album Heathen Machine, UK heavy metal titans, Balance Of Power, are back with new band members and a brand new album. Fresh From The Abyss will be released on April 19 via Massacre Records, the pre-sale is available here.
Founding members Tony Ritchie (bass) and Lionel Hicks (drums) are joined the band's new lead vocalist Hazel Jade as well as guitarists Chris Young and Adam Wardle, who have since taken over the reins from guitarists Chris Masimore and Stoney Wagner, with whom the band worked on and recorded the upcoming album Fresh From The Abyss.
Today, the band present a music video for the new single, "One More Time Around The Sun". Watch below:
Written before, during and after the pandemic, the band took a more organic approach and tested themselves with new and different ways of writing their songs. Largely about life and death, Fresh From The Abyss is a collection of songs that either stops the clock and points to a moment in time or stands back and encompasses the vastness of time and space, and living and dying. Welcome back, Balance Of Power!
