Danish death metal unit Baest has announced their new record Colossal for August 15, and is now streaming the first single “Misfortunate Son (feat. ORM)”. The single comes alongside an official music video created by Moshmallows, while the riffs come from the undying urge to punch someone.
“Paying homage to the heavy metal roots of our music, we wanted to incorporate fast, classic and rocking riffs,” said Baest of the new record. “This album showcases our passion for melody and a new direction for our death metal. Keeping the energy of former releases and adding new flavours to the inferno, Colossal stands out as an honest, original and exciting release.
“Recording it over the course of 2 years at Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen has been a different but exciting process, leaving a lot of space in between material released off the album, with the two first singles ‘Colossus’ and ‘Imp Of The Perverse’ being almost a year old by now. We found that giving songs more time to grow felt right, and we also had to reinvent our own style and sound in that process, which leads to our satisfaction with Colossal – it’s a broad album sound wise, and we feel this is the essence of Baest.
“Playing some of the new tracks live on our recent tour with Danish rock legends D-A-D was helpful in cementing the appeal of the new tracks and helped us finish the album recordings between those shows. Next up, we embark on our first ever U.S./North America run supporting Arch Enemy, and we are following this tour up with a ton of European festivals. This will be the perfect platform to show the new material and get feedback from the fans – see you on the road!”
Pre-orders are available here. Baest will also hit the road with Arch Enemy, Fit For An Autopsy, and Thrown Into Exile next week. Tickets are available here.
