Lionize announce new album ‘Nuclear Soul’

Maryland-based rockers Lionize have announced their forthcoming full-length studio album, titled Nuclear Soul, is set for release September 8 in digital, CD, and LP formats. The first single ‘Blindness To Danger’ premiered on Friday with Classic Rock and the song is now available for download and streaming. The single release coincides with the launch of the album pre-order at http://smarturl.it/Lionize-NuclearSoul and http://lionizeukstore.bigcartel.com/.

‘Nuclear Soul’ follows the band’s widely praised 2014 album ‘Jetpack Soundtrack’ and continues their ever-maturing sound. It’s emotionally-driven and steeped in introspection. Recorded locally in Maryland, USA, it’s produced by Clutch’s Jean Paul Gaster with J. Robbins and Lionize.

About the song’s meaning, Lionize bassist Hank Upton explains, “So much of our career as a band has been following our instincts and running headlong into the unknown with no regard for how insane a tour/show/song idea might be. I feel like that passion & willingness to take a risk has gotten us very far. Naturally, though, you’re walking a tightrope. Same goes for your personal life with romance or substances, etc. Passion and heart will take you everywhere but where’s the line? I was trying to investigate that feeling.”

The video for ‘Blindness To Danger’ toes that exact line, pitting Lionize’s Nate Bergman against pro-wrestler The Almighty Sheik. Shot entirely on an Apple iPhone 7 with the Moment Wide & Tele lenses, video director Miguel “M.i.G.” Martinez chose this intimate format to show his young students that they don’t need expensive equipment to create a music video/film.
