UK alt-hardcore quintet Higher Power released a video for their track ‘Count The Miles‘, ahead of their highly anticipated sold-out show, at Leeds Brudenell Social Club on last Friday 16th January.

The band’s third studio album, There’s Love In This World If You Want It, was surprise released digitally in summer 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. 

Frontman Jimmy Wizard commented on the video:

“This video was Alex’s concept but one of our favourite things growing up was seeing videos that give you a look behind the curtain! We don’t live and tour like this anymore but I’m grateful for the experiences we had together and it’s cool to have something of a highlight reel of our lives over those years so enjoy!”

Inner peace. That’s the aim for us all, isn’t it? Well, the truth is that it is always there waiting for you. You just need to work away a little bit to find it, digging deep and questioning yourself to get closer and closer to achieving that ultimate sense of personal zen. It may not always feel like the search is paying off, but there is always potential for that love, compassion and understanding of who you are to seep through. The journey may be challenging, but you’ll be glad that you took part in it in the end.

For Higher Power, that journey has seen them do things that, when they emerged onto the Yorkshire hardcore circuit in 2015, were never even on their radar. From their innocently frantic beginnings of emulating and celebrating legendary bands like Leeway and Merauder for a new generation, even playing their first two shows in the basement of the house owned by The Flex and at an early iteration of Outbreak Fest respectively, the ten years that have followed have seen them ride every ebb and flow that the music industry has to offer. From touring with everyone from Alexisonfire and Neck Deep to Knocked Loose and Angel Du$t to signing to Roadrunner Records for their sophomore full-length 27 Miles Underwater, they have achieved the sort of things that, up until recently, would never have been on the horizon of possibility for a hardcore band of their ilk. Yet, within experiencing the industry mechanics usually reserved for the highest echelons of rock royalty, they also realised they were drifting away from the things that made them want to do all of this in the first place.

The result of putting what feels right for them first is There’s Love In This World If You Want It, a record that encapsulates the Higher Power spirit in a way that only those whose hearts are truly entrenched in the band can produce. Peeling away layers of assumption and ideology placed upon them by others and focusing once more on the genre-splicing experimentation that inspired them to create together in the first place, they have produced nine songs that showcase exactly what they are made of in a screaming rainbow of colour.

Soul-seeking alt hardcore quintet Higher Power are proud to announce that their third studio album, There’s Love In This World If You Want It, has been surprise released digitally today via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be released physically on September 19th and is now available for pre-order.

Vocalist Jimmy Wizard comments:
“This album is the natural progression of Higher Power sonically and as a band. This is our first time consciously self producing an album and I am, for once, genuinely excited to put something out that feels really authentic to us as individuals and where we are at as a band.”

Alternative rock quintet HIGHER POWER have revealed a new single titled ‘Stillpoint‘, that sees them tap into their hardcore roots with a bruising feature from NEVER ENDING GAME. The new single lands just in time for the bands appearance at Outbreak Festival this month.

Vocalist Jimmy Wizard comments: “Old school HP rocker for the mosh pit freaks, Mikey from Never Ending Game making the middle 8 harder than I could ever make it sound, keep on rocking in the free world

Nuclear Blast Records are proud to announce the signing of Leeds, UK based alternative rock band HIGHER POWER. The quintet were birthed from the effervescent UK hardcore scene, and through blending elements of shoegaze, grunge, punk, thrash and more have managed to establish themselves as a wholly unique prospect in the world of modern heavy music.

To commemorate their signing to the label, the band have released a brilliantly tongue-in-cheek video for their new single ‘Absolute Bloom’. The track is a vibrant, hook-laden anthem that sees their penchant for 90’s alternative music take the fore.

On ‘Absolute Bloom’, vocalist Jimmy Wizard comments “I’m super excited to release this song. It’s really personal to me in this transitional period of my life, about wanting a deeper more meaningful connection to the real world and not quite being equipped to do so, but finding hope and figuring it out. The music reflects that with a song that’s so big and upbeat.”
