SHARE DETAILS OF COMPANION ALBUM LIGHTBRINGER ARRIVING THIS YEAR


 2x GRAMMY-nominated band Rival Sons have shared their new single“Rapture,” which is available today on all streaming platforms. It stands out as the latest anthem to be unveiled from thegroup’s anxiously awaited new full-length album, DARKFIGHTER, nowreleasing on June 2, 2023.

Additionally, theyhave unlocked the pre-order for the limited-edition vinyl of DARKFIGHTER alsoarriving worldwide on June 2nd. highlighting excitement for this next chapter of Rival Sons, the band have also shared details of a companion album entitled LIGHTBRINGER—due out in late 2023.



Rival Sons    "Rapture"

     Expanding on the two-album set, vocalist JayBuchanan commented, "In comparison to our previous records, we certainlytook our time both writing and recording this collection. When we set out, theintention was mostly to dig as deep as possible. Even in the beginning beforethe body had formed, we agreed to throw the map away and chop our way throughthe woods to make a new path. Then lockdown hit and it felt like the whole damncountry decided to throw the map away too. 

 


  

    For myself, 2022 was like aneight-stage rocket of life changing events, so every time I thought I wasfinished writing, a new bull would come tearing through the clothesline and I’dhave to illustrate it in some way. By the end, there were really two differentsides to the same story being told. On one side, you’re fighting the darknessand, on the other, you’re bringing your own light to where there isnone. One side in a corner, on the ropes, and the other advancing, cleaning thering. Without an intermission, a refractory period, the collection would be toobig a bite, so splitting it in two was the only way to do it."



 

   DARKFIGHTER is led by the explosive single “Nobody Wants to Die” which is joined by the Eli Sokhn-directed music videostreaming on Rival Sons’ YouTube channel. Thus far, “Nobody Wants To Die” has tallied over 1million streams and counting. Right out of the gate, Rolling Stone hailed it as “hard-charging” andproclaimed, “the video has Kill Bill grindhouse vibes for days and is a literalblast.” Guitar World applauded, “It would be cliché to say it’s been worth thewait, but the phrase applies: ‘Nobody Wants to Die’ has enough high-gainriffage and classic rock fretboard throwdowns to more than make up for RivalSons’ absence.”


     DARKFIGHTER and LIGHTBRINGER were both produced by longtimecollaborator and multi GRAMMY Award-winner Dave Cobb. These albums mark thefirst new music from Rival Sons since the release of 2019’s FERAL ROOTS,which earned the band two GRAMMY Award nominations.




 In support of their forthcoming album, Rival Sons will embark ona run of North American tour dates alongside Whiskey Myers next month which areset kickoff February 16th in Knoxville, TN at the KnoxvilleCivic Auditorium. Furthermore, Rival Sons will join Great Van Fleet for ahandful dates beginning March 26th at the Tucson Arena inTucson, AZ and perform at Welcome To Rockville in DaytonaBeach, FL on May 20th and Sonic Temple inColumbus, OH on May 27th.

#Rival Sons only


     Rival Sons - Jay Buchanan [vocals, harmonica, rhythm guitar],Scott Holiday [lead guitar], Mike Miley [drums], and Dave Beste [bass] - playrock ‘n’ roll in its purest form without apology or pretense. Instead, theysimply plug in, turn up, and rip on a path of their own. Along the way, they’vearchitected a critically acclaimed catalog, including Pressure &Time [2011], Head Down [2012], Great WesternValkyrie [2014], Hollow Bones [2016], and FERALROOTS [2019]. The latter represented a creative and critical highwatermark, scoring a pair of GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of“Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Performance” for the single “Too Bad.”Elevating the band to another level, “Do Your Worst” vaulted to #1 at RockRadio as their biggest hit to date, tallying north of 60 million streams andcounting.



      Speaking to their impact, Rolling Stone attested,“Rival Sons have done their part to introduce new fans to rock.” Beyond sharingstages with everyone from Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC to GunsN’ Roses and Lenny Kravitz, they’ve ignited television shows such as TheLate Late Show with James Corden. During 2021, they launched their ownlabel Sacred Tongue Recordings distributed by Thirty Tigers and celebrated thetenth anniversary of Pressure & Time by performing thealbum in its entirety on tour. Ultimately, Rival Sons aren’t here to tell youexactly what to think or what to feel, but they’ll give you one hell of a rideif you let them. That ride twists and turns like never before on their 2023full-length LP, DARKFIGHTER [Low Country Sound / AtlanticRecords] kickstarted by the single “Nobody Wants to Die.”
