I like to call this album &#8220;Dark AOR&#8221;, haha! We managed to blend everything we love about music, to be honest. But one thing is for sure, we\u2019ve never felt such a strong connection with the songs before,&#8221; says singer Vicky White of the upcoming album.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the first single, White continues, &#8220;&#8221;Criminal Masterminds&#8221; is definitely one of our heaviest songs to date. It was also one of the last songs we wrote for the album, just a month or so before we headed to the studio. Me and Harry were waiting on the other guys in our rehearsal room, messing around with some different guitar tunings and came up with the main riff. Then Gus and Gunn came and the rest is history. It&#8217;s one of those songs that came together\u00a0in just a couple of hours. We wanted to release this song as the first single because I think that it captures what Bloody Heels is about now. It&#8217;s a bit heavier and more in your face, but still quite melodic, with a big chorus and lots of harmonies. It&#8217;s quite different from anything what we&#8217;ve done before, but doesn&#8217;t abandon who we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Latvian hard rockers Bloody Heels recently joined the Frontiers label\u2019s\u00a0rapidly expanding pool of young talent and one listen to their debut album will easily explain why the label HAD to sign them up. With nods to the great \u201880s hard rock scene, but also bordering on heavy metal (listen to those kicks drums on first single \u2018Criminal Masterminds\u2019), this band is a delightful mix of catchy and driving. With a great whisky-soaked sounding throat, vocalist Vicky White provides the perfect voice for the thunder and lightning that guitarist Harry Rivers, bassist Gunn Everett, and drummer Gus Hawk are raining down upon us.<\/p>\n<p>Formed in 2012 in Riga, Latvia, Bloody Heels have a musical style that could be best described as a sort of missing link between Crashd\u00efet and Crazy Lixx, with heavier elements like early W.A.S.P. and Kissin\u2019 Dynamite. The band \u00a0have already made a name for themselves with the EP \u00a0&#8216;Summer Nights&#8217; (2014) and the album &#8216;Through Mystery&#8217; (2017). They\u2019ve played shows all around Europe including Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, and the Baltic States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce that Latvian hard rockers Bloody Heels will release their new album, &#8220;Ignite The Sky&#8221; on July 10, 2020.
