Recently returned from a tour across North America supporting ARCH ENEMY, Denmark’s Metal commando, BAEST, can now proudly unveil a new single/video for their upcoming massive fourth studio album, “Colossal”, with the song “King Of The Sun” (feat. Jesper Binzer of D-A-D). Check out the stunning new song in a video directed by Johan Nagstrup and Christian Constantin Pontoppidan below.
BAEST commented as follows in regards to “King Of The Sun” and their collaboration with D-A-D’s Jesper Binzer: “Our new single ‘King Of The Sun’ carries on in the Rock vein of ‘Misfortunate Son’ but adding our signature Death Metal to the mix, and bringing even more Rock ‘n’ Roll styles to the table. We’ve been fortunate to be able to bring in Jesper Binzer (D-A-D) – a Rock legend, and a dream collab for BAEST. Jesper adds a totally new flavour to the Baest sound, and pushes us to unexplored territory.”
BAEST are back, with a new sound and a badass attitude. Over the last decade, the Danish quintet have become one of the most celebrated and respected Death Metal bands in Europe. Their reign of terror began with debut album “Danse Macabre”, which emerged to great acclaim in 2019. Since then, the Danes have been relentless. Subsequent albums “Venenum” (2019) and “Necro Sapiens” (2021) cemented their reputation as Extreme Metal mavericks with an ear for lethal hooks, while their passionate dedication to playing live enabled them to spread the word at shows and festivals around the world.
But things are slightly changing with album number four: “Colossal”. Pieced together in the aftermath of Covid lockdowns, and fine-tuned over the last couple of years, the new BAEST album is an absolute monster. The new songs are still rooted in the belligerent death metal that informed previous records, but “Colossal” represents a wholesale transformation. Inspired by and infused with old school, classic metal riffs and a giant helping of Rock ‘n’ Roll bombast, BAEST have written an album that delights in the glory of Heavy Metal and the fine art of rocking out. Bursting at the seams with catchy riffs and classy melodies, with stylistic salutes to everyone from Ozzy Osbourne and DOKKEN, through to IRON MAIDEN and WHITSNAKE, this is the magnificent Rock ‘n’ Roll rebirth of BAEST.
Produced with Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE HAUNTED etc.), “Colossal” will be released on August 15th via Century Media Records worldwide and contains nine tracks across 42 minutes. The album’s artwork was created by Solomacello.
