Following the release of their recent single ‘Sun & Moon’, Welsh rockers Florence Black have today revealed their debut album.
Check out ‘Sun & Moon’ here:
Set for release on September 17th and titled ‘Weight of The World’, the ten-track was recorded at Long Wave Recording Studio with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motorhead, Sylosis, Holding Absence).
Charismatic vocalist Tristan Thomas, who designed the album’s artwork as well, states, “‘Weight Of The World’ is the culmination of our time as Florence Black. It’s a mixture of songs written at our very beginning and brand new material just created, blended together and shaped into one. The pressure and anticipation of releasing our debut album, feels like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, especially with waiting what has felt like since the beginning of time to get it recorded and released. We wanted that reflected in the title and the artwork. Not to mention, with Romesh Dodangoda’s production, the sound is as heavy as Planet Earth too!”
Here’s ‘Weight of The World’ tracklisting:
1. Zulu
2. Inside Out
3. On The Ropes
4. Sun & Moon
5. Can You Feel It?
6. Grove Street
7. Black Cat
8. The Deep End
9. So Far Away
10. The Light
