Balaam & The Angel Announce “Love Death Wealth Water” EP

Balaam And The Angel have announced their brand new four track EP, Love Death Wealth Water, will be released on the 1st May, the EP continues their widely acknowledged return to form with another striking collection of powerfully dark and atmospheric tracks and embrace their musical legacy. The sound of the new record is a deliberate attempt to blend the ambiance of the band’s darker past with the punchier edge of their later albums alongside some of the most interesting and exciting new approaches to song writing and recording. The four tracks on the EP cover a range of lyrical content from some of the bands’ more common themes about how we navigate our daily lives and friendships alongside some more provocative themes such as the perception of poverty and the threat of online hacking, scamming and extortion to our daily lives and basic necessities. The Love Death Wealth Water EP will be available via streaming platforms and can be pre-ordered on coloured vinyl here.

“We were very pleased with the response to the “Forces Of Evil” EP and the clear appetite of the alternative rock audience in the UK to embrace our new songs. As a result, we went into the studio this time with a renewed sense of confidence that we were creating the type of energized and atmospheric rock that could resonate with current music fans. The desire to improve upon the previous EP did present us with a challenge which we were keen to embrace through an elevated attention to detail in the recording process as well as a curiosity to embrace some more contemporary sounds and techniques.” (guitarist Jim Morris)

Balaam And The Angel will be playing a run of UK dates in the support of the EP’s release, including an appearance at The Deadinburgh Festival, and they have also confirmed they will be playing a 40th anniversary UK tour dates later this year to celebrate four decades since the release of the classic The Greatest Story Ever Told album.
