BLACK OAK COUNTY (Hard Rock – Denmark 🇩🇰 ) – Set to release their new album “III” on October 25, 2024 via Mighty Music #blackoakcounty #hardrock
The Danish hard rock quartetĀ BLACK OAK COUNTYĀ releases their third album, taking them to new musical horizons, with a wide mix of thundering breakdowns, catchier choruses than ever before, a massive wall of pounding guitar riffs, and a heartfelt piano ballad.
āIIIā is co-written and produced with Danish metal heavyweight Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Aries Descendant, Danish Eurovision preliminaries), which proved to be a fruitful creative relationship between the two parties.
āWe came to Nicklas and worked on [the singles] āSave Your Breathā and āFire Insideā together back in 2023, and we absolutely loved the processā, the band says. āIt was amazing for us to have someone as competent as Nicklas giving us feedback on our songs, their structures, compositions and riffs – just to have someone impartial to work with, who wanted nothing but the best for the songs was awesome. We knew right away that we wanted to do a full album together, and hadnāt left the studio before we started working on songs for āIIIā togetherā.
The album marks a return-to-form for the band, reuniting with guitarist/singer Niels Beier on 2022ās singles āBack For Bloodā and āItās On Youā, produced by former grammy nominee Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Asinhell) and co-written with Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp). Now with both Beier and singer/bassist RenĆ© Kristensen doing vocal duties in the band, new musical doors have opened for the Esbjerg-based rockers.
āWe realized we had two great singers and hadnāt utilized it beforeā, Kristensen confirms. āWe took advantage of that on āBack For Bloodā, but have worked out the songs for the album with this in mind. Thereās a lot of back-and-forth between us on this album, swapping verses and choruses, doing harmonies for each otherās parts, etc., and we sound better than ever on this album!ā.
Black Oak County have dug deep into their pile of musical ideas, in order to come up with a wider range of songs than ever, incorporating brand new ideas with older material from the early days of their career. āIIIā is an energetic record, with the bandās well-known mixture of high-intensity low-tuned riffs paying homage to their metal and hard rock heroes, mixed with modern mixing techniques, synthesizers and a fresh take on the bandās familiar sound.
āIIIā will be released on digi pack CD, LP (black and green vinyl versions available, each limited to 200 copies) and digital on October 25th, 2024 via Mighty Music.
