Welsh heavyweight rock group VALHALLA AWAITS have announced their new EP, ‘Perdition’, and premiered a music video for the emotionally charged track ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ 

Valhalla Awaits new addition to their cannon is a dark, moody and ethereal track that tackles the battles of mental health and how it affects so many of us, leaving the vulnerable close to the edge. Musically and lyrically, the song is emotive and relatable. It’s a cry to the universe, to be pulled out of the prisons we create for ourselves in our mind. The constant pressure of having to deal with your own thoughts and feelings when you feel the world is full of darkness, and the difficulties that come with having to wear a mask in public, to give the impression that the life you lead has everything going the way you want it to.

‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ underpins Valhalla Awaits forthcoming EP, ‘Perdition’, as a powerful sonic landscape, blending hard-hitting riffs with resonant vocals and thoughtful storytelling.

In the context of South Wales’ thriving rock scene, Valhalla Awaits has emerged as a formidable force, drawing from the collective experiences of seasoned musicians who have contributed to notable acts The Blackout and Revoker. The result is a finely tuned, precision-drilled riff rock machine, where razor sharp guitar chops are complemented by the honey-glazed vocals of Andrew Hunt, known for his work with Buffalo Summer and Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons.

Valhalla Awaits doesn’t just hit hard; their sound is characterised by finely balanced melodies that serves as a counterweight to the rock-solid foundations on which it’s built. The South Welsh rockers have been making great strides on the live circuit having played Planet Rock’s Winter’s End and Rockstock Festivals, Steelhouse Live, and during support slots with Florence Black, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Those Damn Crows, and more.

With ‘Perdition’, the band have delivered their most cohesive and potent body of work to date, and in a musical landscape marked by resilience and hope, Valhalla Awaits invites listeners to join the battle for glory.

Perdition will be released on the 8th of March 2024.
