Himalayas have announced their new album, Bad Star for release on April 25th via Nettwerk Music Group.

Marking the announcement, the Cardiff rock band have released the brand new single “Afterlife,” a cavernous pensive anthem with bold, strutting riffs, which reflects on the promise of great things being just over the horizon but always out of reach. The explosive apocalyptic video directed by Yoni Ben-Haim features the band delivering a scorching performance in a fiery, decimating meteor shower.

Regarding the single frontman, Joe Williams says:

“Everyone prays for something better, or thinks there’s something better coming once you get past the right now. I wanted to explore the idea that maybe there won’t be something better than what we have currently and embracing that.”

“Afterlife” follows a string of successful singles taken from the forthcoming album Bad Star, including the energetic thrashy groove of “Hung Up,” the creepy alt-rock of “Nothing Higher,” the ferocious stomp of “Cave Paintings,” as well another hit with “What If…?”.

Their second album, Bad Star finds Himalayas – Joe Williams (vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (guitar/vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums) – expanding far beyond the indie-rock of their first works From Hell To Here in 2023, with Bad Star now seeing the band taking in influence from Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Royal Blood and Foo Fighters.

Working with producer Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, Skindred) the result on Bad Star is 10 tracks that finds the band ooze with confidence, with a sharp skill in inventive but catchy riffs, slinking rhythms, and an ever-present sense of vastness of both sound and vision.

Bad Star Track Listing:

1. Beneath The Barrel
2. Hung Up
3. Cave Paintings
4. What If…?
5. Heavy Weather
6. Surrender
7. Nothing Higher
8. Afterlife
9. Twisted Reflections
10. A Brand New God
