RIVAL SONS will release their brand new studio, Head Down, on September 17th via Earache Records. The follow-up to the band's 2011 breakthrough album, Pressure & Time, was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Grammy-nominated producer Dave Cobb (JAMIE JOHNSON, SHOOTER JENNINGS) and Grammy-wining engineer Vance Powell (JACK WHITE, THE WHITE STRIPES, KINGS OF LEON).

The artwork for Head Down was created by Jason Holley (JOSH RITTER, RAY LAMONTAGNE). Check it out below:

Rival Sons frontman Jay Buchanan explains the album title: "We took a lyric from one of the songs that exemplified the process of making the record. Head Down comes from the term 'Keep your head down and keep on swinging'. I thought it was fitting and it works perfectly with the album cover."

Rival Sons guitarist Scott Holiday discusses the album artwork: "I began searching for the right artist for our cover on the interwebs, just mulling around, and very quickly came across Jason Holley. I saw a couple of covers that he had done for Josh Ritter and Ray LaMontagne which I loved. I was immediately taken aback by his aesthetic and style and felt he had a few pieces already done that I would be into using. I sent some of his images over to Jay and he had the same immediate feeling I did... Which is pretty rare. He could have been from anywhere in the world, but he just so happened to live about 30 minutes away from me, so I gave him a ring and we started talking. We sent him the record and discussed ideas that we felt reflected the music and process. He then created an original piece, painted in oil. The end result is pretty symbolic and interesting - something that, in my opinion, reflects the record beautifully."

Rival Sons' new video, for the track 'Face Of Light', is now online. The video sees a softer side of the band as they go through the beautiful scenery of the Peak District in the English countryside. The video was filmed with director Dan Ruttley during the band's recent sold-out UK tour with BLACK STONE CHERRY.

Frontman Jay Buchanan comments: "I am happy to say that our record Pressure & Time is about to give us our third single with the song 'Face Of Light'. This is a very special song to us and I am delighted to put out a single with a positive message that can still break a tooth. Three singles from one record; I am so thankful for the support we've been shown. This will more than likely be our last single from the P&T; record, so it's a fitting farewell to an unforgettable year with a song so personally close to the vest for me."
