HIMALAYAS have announced their new album BAD STAR for release on April 25th. The album is available to pre-order now here.
Marking the announcement the Cardiff rock band have released the brand new single ‘Afterlife’, a cavernous pensive anthem with bold, strutting riffs, which reflects on the promise of great things being just over the horizon, but always out of reach. The explosive apocalyptic video directed by Yoni Ben-Haim features the band delivering a scorching performance among a fiery decimating meteor shower.
Regarding the single frontman Joe Williams says, “Everyone prays for something better, or thinks there’s something better coming once you get past the right now. I wanted to explore the idea that maybe there won’t be something better than what we have currently and embracing that.”
‘Afterlife’ follows a string of successful singles taken from the forthcoming album BAD STAR including the energetic thrashy groove of ‘Hung Up’, the creepy alt-rock of ‘Nothing Higher’, the ferocious stomp of ‘Cave Paintings’ as well another hit with ‘What If…?’
HIMALAYAS are on a dizzying upward trajectory since the release of their debut album From Hell To Here, which quickly proved them to be a vital new band in the UK rock scene.
2025 will see the band hitting the road again on a global scale. They have been announced in the first wave of artists for SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas and fans can expect more touring news from HIMALAYAS to follow soon.
BAD STAR is a record which reaches for enormous heights, while also keeping a very human heart. It is a record that dazzles with its ability to scale similar musical heights to Muse or Queens or Foos, fully embodying, as James puts it, “what a rock band should sound like without looking backwards”. They’ve managed just that. BAD STAR will send Himalayas supernova.
