In anticipation of the the release of their brand new album, Follow The Deadlights, Belgium's anthemic grooving rock/metal machine, Diablo Blvd, have released an official video for the title track. Watch below:

Formed in 2005 with all members hailing from the city of Antwerp, Belgium, the band is named after a Corrosion Of Conformity song and lead by notorious stand-up comedian and singer Alex Agnew. With current and ex-members of bands like A Brand, Born From Pain and Meuris, this eclectic five-piece quickly started to turn heads and playing shows to appreciative crowds all over Belgium and the Netherlands.

Building on groovy riffs, catchy choruses and a charismatic stage presence, Diablo Blvd offers what made their heroes great within a wide range of influences from the heavy genre (like Danzig, The Cult, Guns N' Roses, Black Label Society and Type O Negative), classic rock and even blues.

 

 

After two successful full-length albums and numerous celebrated shows around Europe Diablo Blvd went to the legendary ICP studios in Brussels with producer Ace Zec to record the brand new album, Follow The Deadlights, in collaboration with the American duo Jay Ruston (mix) and Paul Logus (mastering) who have previously been behind the sound of Anthrax, Stone Sour, Meatloaf and Steel Panther.

Commented the band: "Everybody! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we’re going to join the Nuclear Blast family for our first world-wide release. Signing to Nuclear Blast is like getting the hot chick everybody wants. They were our first choice when we started looking for a deal and to see it actually coming through still feels unreal. So a big thank you to everyone involved for making it happen and we hope to see you all in 2015."

Follow The Deadlights is planned for release on January 23rd, 2015 via Nuclear Blast.

Commented the band: "It’s no secret that 2014 was our most successful year by far since we founded the band and we are very excited 2015 will start right where we left off being confirmed for the upcoming Epica - European Enigma Part II tour. Without a doubt this will be another huge step forward for us as this tour promises to be huge! We’d like to thank all the people involved and especially Epica for taking us on the road.We can’t wait!"

Added Epica guitarist Isaac Delahaye: "I'm really pleased to have more Belgians on the 2nd leg of our European Enigma tour. Can't have enough of them! After seeing how well the package with 3 bands worked on the first part of the tour we just finished, we decided it would be a good idea to add a cool band before Dragonforce again. Diablo Blvd is a great live band, no nonsense heavy rock/metal and they are hungry wolves who are ready to storm Europe together with us. Hide your beers, cause we're coming for you!"
