Only about 1 ½ years after the release of their last record “Mammoth”, Beardfish are now back with a new masterpiece. “The Void” will be released on August 27th 2012 in Europe and on August 28th 2012 in the US via InsideOutMusic. It is darker, heavier and in some parts it even has a bit of a metal edge to it, while still incorporating all that Beardfish and their typical warm retro-sound stand for.
The band comments: “We went full-on with this one… We’ve had some trouble in the past to convey our live energy on the studio albums. This is the one that shines through, I think! It’s an album about loss. It’s about love. It celebrates both life and death and the struggle in between to heal the wounds that don’t show and to actually take the step to move forward in life. We’ve been waiting to share these songs with all of you for a while now and we, Beardfish, are really proud to present to you „The Void”
