Honeybadger Post “Diamonds” Video; Announce Second Album
Greek heavy rock four-piece Honeybadger will return in the coming months with their second full-length and the follow-up to 2020’s Pleasure Delayer (review here), the title of which has yet to be announced. The first single from the impending sophomore LP is “Diamonds,” and if you get the impression in listening that they’re picking up where they left off in terms of approach, the fact that they namedrop the name of the first record in the lyrics here would seem to speak to that intent too. Also? It’s a rocker. That’s definitely where they left it last time too.
Part of the intrigue here is to find outbjust how Honeybadger have progressed over the last three years, though I’ll admit I don’t know when the new stuff was recorded and these days it could be anytime before or after the first record came out. But the sound in “Diamonds” is confident in its delivery, which hints toward a more recent timing, and the song’s verse/chorus structure is consistent with Pleasure Delayer and comfortable in its presentation without giving up the energy at their foundation. The song makes me look forward to hearing more, so as regards first singles, I guess it’s doing its job.
Here you have it:
HONEYBADGER – “DIAMONDS” OUT NOW

“Inspired by the continuous battle to survive and thrive through the difficult moments of life as a perception. What do ashes and diamonds have in common? Both share the same elemental structure.
“First single from our upcoming sophomore album. Inspired by the continuous battle to survive and thrive through the difficult moments of life as a perception.
“Facing hard times can be devastating and inspiring at the same time. It will always be a challenge to turn trouble into birth and creation, like ashes and mud, into Diamonds.”
