Bush announce new album 'The Kingdom' and a surprise tour with Breaking Benjamin
Bush surprised fans with an announcement on March 3 that they will be releasing a new album 'The Kingdom' in May and to add to the sweetness of it all they also released the album's lead single 'Flowers On A Grave'. The power-packed track gives fans a high-energy charge-up from the iconic multi-platinum hard rock band before the new studio LP's release and will be available on all DSPs on March 4.
Bush frontman, songwriter and guitarist Gavin Rossdale gave a taste of what to expect in the eagerly-anticipated new album. In a statement he says, “We are really proud of 'The Kingdom'. It’s as if all roads traveled over the last few years have gotten us to this point", adding, "We look forward to this cycle – old fans, new fans, likeminded people who are searching for their kingdom.”
'Flowers On A Grave', co-produced by Erik Ron and Rossdale himself, is the dynamic follow-up to Bush's cinematic 'Bullet Holes', which featured at the end credits of the international blockbuster, 'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum'. Produced by Tyler Bates ('John Wick' 1 & 2, 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'Deadpool 2'), 'Bullet Holes' will also be featured on 'The Kingdom'.
In 1994 after their debut, Bush left their triumphant signature on rock 'n' roll music with their refreshing and addictive take on grunge and hard rock, leaving a resounding impact and became one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s. As warriors in a rock revival, the resurgent superstars have given fans a barrage of new activity this past week as they set the stage for what is shaping up to be their biggest year yet.
Bush premiered 'Flowers On A Grave' on February 28 in front of a sold-out crowd of their most hardcore fans at their special Las Vegas underplay at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. The following night at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nevada, Rossdale decided to keep fans on their toes, surprising the sold-out crowd of 7,000 when he jumped on stage with Benjamin Burnley and Breaking Benjamin and performed a rousing rendition of the Alice In Chains classic, 'Would'.
Bush keeps the surprises rolling this week as they will be performing with Breaking Benjamin on their big summer US major market shed tour. Check the dates below.
