Honeymoon Disease Premiere “Higher” Video; The Transcendence out Nov. 20

honeymoon disease 2

There’s a lot to like about Gothenburg heavy rockers Honeymoon Disease‘s new video for “Higher,” which is taken from their upcoming full-length debut, The Transcendence. Me? I like the wrestlers at the end. All of a sudden some dude is getting bodyslammed through a table. You’re watching the clip and you’re like, “Wait a minute, a verse ago we were at an awesome-looking parking lot barbecue — how did we get there?,” and then somebody’s getting punched in the head with the eight ball. Between that, the aforementioned cookout, the dude doing a radio show in a studio that looks positively palatial compared to just about every broadcast booth I’ve ever been in, the motorcycle gang, hot rod and the band’s apparent affection for the color yellow, yeah, as I said, there’s a lot to like.

The Transcendence is out Nov. 20 on Napalm Records, and “Higher” finds Honeymoon Disease nestled into a sweet spot betwixt the boogie of Graveyard and Horisont‘s affinity for classic metal. Guitarist/vocalist Jenna Disease, guitarist Acid Disease and drummer Jimi Disease (formerly of Mamont) recently welcomed bassist Nicklas Hellqvist to the fold, and while I think he’s too new to have played on the record or to appear in the video, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Honeymoon Disease were looking to hit the road in a big way to support their debut. Already they have dates booked around to the release that include a stop Nov. 21 at Speedfest in the Netherlands, where they’re on a lineup with High on Fire, Mondo Generator, Voivod, Refused and many more.

Plenty to like about that as well, and one doubts very much that will be Honeymoon Disease‘s last run to herald the album’s — and thus their own — arrival. Oh, one last thing about the video. At the end of it, the band gets all their friends to lineup for a photo op in the parking lot where the party was held. Looks like a good time, and cool to see they’ve got their priorities in the right place.

Video, comment from Honeymoon Disease, album and tour info follow. Enjoy:

Honeymoon Disease, “Higher” official video

Says Honeymoon Disease:

HIGHER is our way to describe the feeling you get when someone wants to tear everything you’ve got apart. And finally, when your fuel tank is filled-up with shit, you strike back, like a flash of lightning.

The music video is directed by our good friend Max Ljungberg who has captured all the elements that builds up Honeymoon Disease. It also reflects the rage of Higher.

Honeymoon Disease’s single “Fast Love” (2014) was quite possibly the surprise of the year: The Quartet from Gothenburg Sweden didn’t just release an acceptable debut single, but delivered a heavy-speed-rocking masterpiece which could easily hold a candle comparable to classic outfits like DEEP PURPLE, THIN LIZZY or RAINBOW. The “Bellevue Groove” single B-side also pays tribute to THE DAMNED with a fantastic cover of “Neat, Neat, Neat”.

With such a heavy hitting debut single, the weighted question remains as to whether the band can deliver the same quality on a full length debut. “The Transcendence” delivers, answering this question with an album full of future classics steeped in timeless charm, blessed with massive grooves, spirited with cocky howls, and seasoned with classic style riffs. Honeymoon Disease are proof that the Modern Retro Rock movement is not a male dominated genre, with two women, Jenna and Acid, jointly responsible for their unique sound, HONEYMOON DISEASE are making their mark with testosterone fueled rhythm on anthems like “Gotta Move!” so follow, or get out of their way!

To get the full live experience check out their upcoming tour dates with Avatarium and The Vintage Caravan.
