Supergroup Black Country Communion will return this fall with the release of their fourth album, “BCCIV”, via Mascot Records on September 22.
The lineup of bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist Joe Bonamassa, keyboardist Derek Sherinian and drummer Jason Bonham recorded the set at Cave Studios in Los Angeles with producer Kevin Shirley.
"We had around 4 months to write this album, and I think the results speak for themselves," says Hughes. "All four of us wanted to make a record that stood up to the first three albums, however, the new album is more of a progression, as we wanted to be careful not to repeat the previous albums. A lot has happened since we last recorded the Aferglow album in 2013, so, in many ways, the new album shows BCC with a much harder, riffier and bigger and bolder sound. If you’re looking for a folk album, this ain’t the one.
"I wanted the new album to physically shake your soul," he added, “It’s a wake-up call."
“BCCIV” will be previewed soon with the lead single, “Collide.”
The supergroup revealed plans last year to reunite after they disbanded in early 2013.
Formed in 2009, the band issued their self-titled debut album in 2010, “Black Country Communion 2” in 2011 and “Afterglow” in 2012.
Black Country Communion will launch “BCCIV” with two exclusive concerts in the UK in January, with shows at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on January 2 and London’s Hammersmith Apollo on January 4.
These will be the only two concerts the band will play in the UK and Europe. Planet Rock will run a 48-hour ticket pre-sale from 9 AM on Wednesday, August 2nd. Order your pre-sale tickets from planetrock.com.
Tickets will then go on sale to the general public from 0844 844 0444 and can be booked online from www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.eventim.co.uk.
