LADY BEAST – “The Gift” (Single Review)

LADY BEAST - "The Gift" (Single Review)I have a morning ritual. The way I start my day, every day whether it’s a workday or not. Only the time of day may change. I’m sure we all do. But the morning of March 03, 2020, held something a little extra special. Spotting on Instagram and Facebook the evening before alerted me that one of my absolute favourite bands, Lady Beast, premiere their advance single from the forthcoming album that morning at 9am.

LADY BEAST – “The Gift”

Up early and taking care of most of the morning rituals, I flipped over to the Reaper Metal YouTube channel around 8:30am. I had zero intentions of missing the premiere of “The Gift”. I closed my eyes, inhaling the sweet smell of my coffee as the track began with an explosion from the rhythm section. Quickly I noticed the thunder of Greg‘s chunky basslines. I love his sound, especially on tracks like “Lone Hunter” from their last album Vicious Breed. Guitar riffs and soloing ala Lady Beast style are all plentiful as expected. Perhaps a more melodious affair than some of the more recent Lady Beast material and wait…harmonized gang vocals in the chorus! That’s new…but don’t get me wrong it all works very very well.

LADY BEAST - "The Gift" (Single Review)As the entire song builds towards its climax the lyrical message is a positive one. Vocalist Deb says about the song….“When we first wrote this track the lyrics were initially inspired by my nephew…a spirit who showed me how to love in a way I never knew…but it hit me through the process where I realized the song just isn’t about my nephew…its about the greatest gift anyone can give or receive. That gift is love.”

The Meister Approves

Long have I loved this band. It started when their music came to me in a time of personal emptiness. I loved the style and the songs on that debut album. Since then I have followed them… literally in some cases as I stalked them during a mini-tour of midwest USA in 2018! I’ve seen them live many times, indeed travelling for that express purpose. Through it all, we’ve become friends. They are more than a band, some of the greatest humans I’ve ever encountered thus far. And they still rock! Long live Lady Beast.

The Vultures Amulet is out April 03, 2020, via Reaper Metal and pre-orders start next week on March 10. The album release show takes place in Pittsburgh on April 03, 2020. Furthermore, catch Lady Beast for their first time in Europe at Headbangers Open Air in Germany in July!
