In addition, the band are currently working on a new official video for the track “Life At The End Of October”, which will be released soon.
Blending infectious melodies, dark humor and atmospheric elements, the album draws inspiration from classic horror films, ‘80s and ‘90s pop culture, and West Coast punk rock, while incorporating subtle metal influences into its dynamic sound.
Created by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emilio Menze, “Blade Manor” showcases DARK RIDE at their most focused and ambitious, combining cinematic vision with sharp songwriting and a distinctive identity within the modern punk scene.
Produced by Randy Moore and Olav Tabatabai, with mixing by Olav Tabatabai and mastering by Zack Ohren (Castle Ultimate Productions), the album delivers a powerful and cohesive sonic experience that bridges underground attitude with broader appeal.
