Shred-metal adventurers BLESSED BY A BROKEN HEART are charging forth with a new glam-tastic tour de force, Feel The Power, out January 23rd on Tooth & Nail / Rude Records.

In anticipation of the release, the band has released today the first single, 'Forever', on sale here.

'Forever' is available for digital purchase today for fans who don’t want to wait that long to own a piece of Feel The Power, which is set to drop in stores and online January 23rd. 'Forever' is indicative of the type of pulse-rasing, headbang-inducing, '80s-influenced rock assault that Blessed will deliver on their Tooth & Nail / Rude Records debut.

Feel The Power, the follow-up to the band's celebrated 2008 album Pedal To The Metal (Century Media), sees the band shrugging off metalcore trappings in favor of something more heartfelt.

The band is at the same time giving fans a first glimpse at the album's tracklisting (listed below), as well as the artwork, reminiscent of the space-punk apocalypse for which BBABH's music is the perfect soundtrack.

"The whole band is still obsessed with the ’80s, and that's bled into our lifestyles. It's not just when we're on tour: We all kind of dress ’80s; we still have mullets. It's become part of our lives,” explains singer Tony Gambino. “On the last album, we used more of the cheesy side of the ’80s, and this album we used a little more of the mature side. It's a little less fluff, a lot less cheese, a little more serious. We’ve kind of gone a little more classic metal and heavy rock ‘n’ roll. It's real organic how it all came together," he adds. "We're not in this to follow the trends—we're in it to do what we love.”

The cover artwork for Feel The Power can be seen below:

Formed in 2003 in Montreal, Canada, BBABH released its first album - All is Fair in Love And War - a year after its inception. 2008 saw the release of Pedal To The Metal on Century Media Records, which was followed by years of incessant touring throughout the US, UK, Europe, Japan and Australia alongside the likes of JUDAS PRIEST, A DAY TO REMEMBER, BRING ME THE HORIZON, MEGADETH, STEEL PANTHER and more.

Like any artist with a notable body of work, Blessed has experienced a near constant evolution over the past eight years, in some part due to lineup changes, but mostly due to a stylistic progression away from pure metalcore in favor of more traditional metal and hard rock. One listen to Feel The Power will confirm that not only is this not the same band that recorded All Is Fair…, but that that very fact is their saving grace. Staying ahead of the curve and distancing themselves from the pack is the key to the group's longevity, and the reason the new album will resonate with even the most veteran headbangers.
