About This Item
NUBIAN ROSE, the Melodic Rock sensation of the early 10's, is back after a long hiatus. Their new album, AMEN, will be released on the 26th of January 2024. On AMEN, Nubian Rose show a more progressive side of the band, but with their trademark foundation of strong melodies, great hooks, big guitars, and the powerful voice of Sofia Lilja. While writing AMEN, Christer and Sofia wanted to challenge themselves to take Nubian Rose to new frontiers. InchAMEN sounds very different, but hopefully in a good wayInch, says Sofia. InchAs people we are constantly growing, so why wouldn't our music grow? And what would be the point of making another 'Mountain', or InchMental Revolution'? They wanted to cut obligations that creators very often feel because of outside expectations. InchWe wanted to let the music flow through us, not forcing the music out of usInch, says Christer. We wanted to make a dynamic album and let all our sources of inspiration have a seat at the table. The list of inspiration for AMEN is long and diverse, with everything from Judas Priest, Rainbow and Cheap Trick to David Bowie, John Carpenter, Dalbello, Stevie Nicks, and the amazing albumInch The Wanderer', by Donna Summer. AMEN is packed with analogue, vintage, synths. The gain level on the guitars is turned down a bit. Some of the songs doesn't even have a traditional chorus and for the first time Nubian Rose has written a song that is almost 10 minutes long. But the more classic rock songs are also in the mix. The story of NUBIAN ROSE started in 2012, with their self-financed, low-key of their debut album, 'Mountain'. With practically no pr, the album spread like wildfire in the world of Melodic Rock and soon they were featured in some of the greatest rock publications in the World, like Classic Rock Magazine, Burrn!! with outstanding reviews. Rockers like 'Ever see your face' and 'Mountain' together w
