Golden heavy blues trio BIRDSTONE to release new album ‘The Great Anticipation’ on June 14th. Watch new excerpt “The Devil”
French heavy rock/blues trio BIRDSTONE unleash details on their upcoming album ‘The Great Anticipation’ – out June 14th via La Cage. They also reveal the brilliant new track “The Devil”. Follow the golden dust…
BIRDSTONE unite the soulful energy of blues with the power and richness of heavy rock. Combining arid melancholy and sticky riffs, the shining three-piece move with disconcerting ease between ethereal atmospheres, dramatic tensions and impetuous climaxes. Their new record ‘The Great Anticipation’ draws inspiration from blues, soul and rock music with this precision and determination of theirs, in the vein of bands like The Black Angels, Greenleaf or The Devil and the Almighty Blues. New extract “The Devil” represents evil as a saving force. A cappella bluegrass-infused introduction opens an intense song. Watch previous videos “Hotline” and “Méandres”.
BIRDSTONE comment about their new track: ” “The Devil” – third and final single from Birdstone’s new chapter – carries on the salvific creative momentum inaugurated by the release of “Hotline” on November 17th, followed by “Méandres” on March 1st, 2024. Written and recorded in a few days only, “The Devil” illustrates the impulsive need to compose that animated the conception of this new opus. What if the devil were to offer to stay by your side? “The Devil” takes a fresh look at the pact; the evil is represented here as a saving force. There are no contracts on offer, just a promise of emancipation and rebellion.”

French heavy-blues trio BIRDSTONE unite the soulful energy of blues with the power and richness of heavy-rock. At the crossroads of mythological themes, esotericism and simple human passions, they narrates the inner struggles of human beings, as well as their mystical aspirations. Basile, Edwige and Benjamin draw their inspiration from rural life, just as the bluesmen did in the Delta in the late 19th century. Mourning, loneliness, doubt, corruption, but also rage and hope are all impulses and guides in the interweaving of the trio’s melodies and lyrics, constantly navigating between grandiloquence and intimacy.
Their debut EP ‘The Cage’, released in February 2017, establishes the foundations of the band’s musical universe: a kind of mystical trance, mixing the fiery spirit of rock with spiritual and religious topics. Their debut album ‘Seer’ (February 2019) has paved the way for the band’s international development. They appeared on the lineup of major festivals such as Hellfest, Terres du Son as well as opening for Yarol Poupaud, TriggerFinger or King Khan & The Shrines. In 2022, just as the old world was collapsing, Birdstone releases a new chapter: ‘Loss’.
The golden trio have now entered a new cycle with the singles “Hotline“and “Méandres“. New album ‘The Great Anticipation’ is set to release on June 14th 2024 via their own imprint La Cage.
