Swedish hard rockers, Nubian Rose, have inked a deal with UK label Livewire/Cargo Records. Their sophomore album, Mental Revolution, is scheduled for a November release. The new album is armed with even heavier riffs, deeper melodies and a more mature production.

Sweden’s master producer and studio wizard, Tobias Lindell, who has produced albums such as Tear The Walls Down and Address The Nation by Heat, Split Your Lip from Hardcore Superstar and Last Look Of Eden by Europe, has mixed Mental Revolution and given it an outstanding and impeccable sound. Nubian Rose are planning on taking the next step of their career and aiming to hit the top division.

Guitarist Christer Akerlund states, “We are very happy to sign with Livewire/Cargo Records for our second album. They have a reputation as being one of the most honest and hardworking label’s in the business and that says A LOT in the music industry. They have also shown true love to Nubian Rose and our music and that’s of course also very important to us."

“It’s very exciting to be working with one of my favourite new bands of recent years and signing Nubian Rose to Livewire/Cargo Records has been an aim for some time” – John Dryland (Cargo Records)

 

 

Founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2011, Nubian Rose have already made a name for themselves as one of Sweden’s top acts when it comes to energetic, heavy riffing, melody driven, hard rock. Nubian Rose evolves around the magnetic charisma and majestic voice of Sofia Lilja, combined with the unique talent of guitarist Christer Åkerlund, Nubian Rose has made sure that they are a force to be reckoned with.

After planning a self-financed, low-key release of their debut album, Mountain, in 2012, they were shocked and excited by how the music spread like wildfire worldwide. Within weeks of the Swedish release, they were played on radio stations in the US, the UK, Italy, France and throughout Europe.

Long before the European release of Mountain, Nubian Rose were also booked to play the main stage at the first Hard Rock Hell AOR festival in Rotherham 2013. This was the band’s first European show and their appearance was one of the festivals most talked about with Sofia Lilja sporting a Union Jack cat suit for part of the show to mark the event!

This fall it’s time for Nubian Rose to hit the ground running, their sophomore album, Mental Revolution, is set for release on Livewire/Cargo Records.
