Premiere: Black Oak County releases video for “Timebomb”

29-11-2024

Arrow Lords Of Metal exclusively premieres the new BLACK OAK COUNTY single and video off their album “III”, for the song “Timebomb”. Filmed at Black Oak County’s album release show at Tobakken, Esbjerg on October 25th, 2024, the video sees the band in its natural environment: on stage.

Watch “Camouflage” below.

“”Timebomb” is an explosive (pun intended) song about rage and being ill tempered”, Black Oak County offers, about the track. “We all know someone who’s wound up tight, and could go off at any moment, and this song is about one of those people in particular. A catchy and classic, low-tuned Black Oak County riff with plenty of bounce-factor, which we hope you’ll love as much as we do!”.

Watch the previously released “Camouflage”, “Crossed The Line”, “Fire Inside”,“Save Your Breath” and “It’s On You” below.

“III” was released on digipack CD, LP (black and green vinyl versions available, each limited to 200 copies) and digital on October 25th, 2024 via Mighty Music.

“III” is co-written and produced with Danish metal heavyweight Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Aries Descendant, Danish Eurovision preliminaries), which proved to be a fruitful creative relationship between the two parties.

“We came to Nicklas and worked on [the singles] “Save Your Breath” and “Fire Inside” together back in 2023, and we absolutely loved the process”, the band says. “It was amazing for us to have someone as competent as Nicklas giving us feedback on our songs, their structures, compositions and riffs – just to have someone impartial to work with, who wanted nothing but the best for the songs was awesome. We knew right away that we wanted to do a full album together, and hadn’t left the studio before we started working on songs for “III” together”.

The album marks a return-to-form for the band, reuniting with guitarist/singer Niels Beier on 2022’s singles “Back For Blood” and “It’s On You”, produced by former grammy nominee Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Asinhell) and co-written with Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp). Now with both Beier and singer/bassist René Kristensen doing vocal duties in the band, new musical doors have opened for the Esbjerg-based rockers.

“We realized we had two great singers and hadn’t utilized it before”, Kristensen confirms. “We took advantage of that on “Back For Blood”, but have worked out the songs for the album with this in mind. There’s a lot of back-and-forth between us on this album, swapping verses and choruses, doing harmonies for each other’s parts, etc., and we sound better than ever on this album!”.
