Fancy some new music to help you get through the rest of the lockdown then we have the perfect news for you today having brought us a taste of the majesty that is to come with the stunning singles “Lost Soul”, “Cut Me Down”, and “Money”, there is no doubt that the 4-piece from the Midlands have raised the ante with their upcoming long-player – having taken the NWOCR scene by storm with their self-titled debut.
Ryders Creed have worked long and hard on their second album, as front-man Ryan Antony explains: “Lost Souls is an experience from start to finish. Blood, sweat and tears went into writing and recording this album. We had to delve into the deeper parts of ourselves to become truly immersed in the writing process. This album is longer than our debut, it’s darker, more complex. It’s still very much Ryders Creed, but each of us believes that we have found our sound with this album. We are all emotionally connected to this album and as nervous and excited as we are to release it, we are proud of Lost Souls. We cannot wait for you all to hear it.”
Opening single “Lost Soul” has already garnered an incredible reaction from fans and media alike, with the album also gaining rave reviews. After adding the track to their ‘Tracks of the Week’ feature, Classic Rock commented that the 6-minute epic is “Anthemic, rousing… like the Foo Fighters going for beers and man-hugs with Roadrunner-era Black Stone Cherry, after a particularly devastating breakup.”. BBC Introducing also featured the song, with DJ Alex Noble commenting “really really like that – impressive!”.
We Bleed Music: “This album goes to show how much the band have progressed and matured. Powerful, dark at times songs with cleverly thought out riffs and hooks and lyrics that tell the dark underbelly of society. The band should all be very proud of this, and it is in my opinion up there for one of the albums of the year.“
Metal Planet Music: “It’s an absolute belter! ‘Lost Souls’ is a triumph and an early contender for album of the year, with 11 tracks which have been well written, constructed and executed by a band who are at the top of their game. It simply oozes quality from start to finish and if you need something to take your mind off the state of the world, just put this on the player and all will be well.“
Rock Media UK: “The lyrics from Ryan are masterful and well crafted with no rock cliches phrases or mindless fillers and the guitar work from Myles has so many great riffs and hooks. As a second album, this is a big step forward for the band and shows a band who are honing their craft and developing their own sound and style.
