Check out all our Upcoming Release announcements

New release from: FLORENCE BLACK – Weight Of The World (September 17, 2021)

Bowed by their fan’s exultant reaction to their latest single “Sun & Moon“, fast-rising Welsh rockers FLORENCE BLACK have unveiled plans for their debut album.

Set for release on September 17th and titled Weight of The World, the ten-track beast was laid down in Wales at Long Wave Recording Studio with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motorhead, Sylosis, Holding Absence).

Charismatic vocalist Tristan Thomas, who designed the album’s artwork as well, states, “Weight Of The World is the culmination of our time as Florence Black. It’s a mixture of songs written at our very beginning and brand new material just created, blended together and shaped into one. The pressure and anticipation of releasing our debut album, feels like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, especially with waiting what has felt like since the beginning of time to get it recorded and released. We wanted that reflected in the title and the artwork. Not to mention, with Romesh Dodangoda‘s production, the sound is as heavy as Planet Earth too!”

The tracklisting is:

1. Zulu
2. Inside Out
3. On The Ropes
4. Sun & Moon
5. Can You Feel It?
6. Grove Street
7. Black Cat
8. The Deep End
9. So Far Away
10. The Light

For the uninitiated, Merthyr Tydfil’s FLORENCE BLACK are a young band of self-taught, childhood friends: lead vocalist/guitarist Tristan Thomas, bassist/backing vocalist Jordan Evans, and drummer/backing vocalist Perry Davies. The group have released three EPs to date, with previous single “Bird On A Chain” clinching #1 in the UK iTunes Rock chart and amassing over 2.1 million streams to date.

Before announcing the album, the band shared two early singles to give fans a hint of what’s in store – the pile-driving rocker “Can You Feel It?“, with a video directed by While She Sleeps‘ Aaran McKenzie, and the summery, toe-tapping smash “Sun & Moon“, with a self-made video in the beautiful Welsh countryside local to them. Both tracks blasted straight into the top echelons of the UK iTunes Rock chart on release. Such is the groundswell of support for the band, FLORENCE BLACK have already captured Classic Rock’s fan-voted Track Of The Week accolade, not once, but twice.

Florence Black Live on Stage

Fully embracing a return to live shows, the group managed to squeeze in no less than three festivals in a week recently, from an incendiary, attention-grabbing set at Steelhouse Festival (featuring a guest spot from Bullet For My Valentine‘s Padge on a Budgie cover no less), to headlining Scotland’s Wildfire Festival and a slot at Just Push Play.
