BRIDEAR Announce Brand New Video + Tour Dates

 

Japanese metal sensations BRIDEAR have released a brand-new music video for ‘Braver Words’, the second single from this year’s epic album Born Again, out now on Psychomanteum Records.
The video accompanies the announcement of a headline tour of Europe in March and April 2025. The ‘Into the World Forever’ tour will power through France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands before continuing through the UK.

‘Braver Words’, with its intense riffs, powerful vocal hooks, and dazzling twin-guitar solo, is the perfect song for announcing the band’s return to Europe. Lead singer KIMI states: “This song is a celebration of strength and perseverance. The video captures the energy and vibe of not just the song but also our live shows!”

Bassist HARU adds: “This video is a celebration of our live performances, and it’s an invitation for everyone to come see us when we head back overseas in 2025. We can’t wait to see all of our fans in Europe and the UK!”

The ‘Braver Words’ video was filmed in June during the Born Again album release show in front of a packed house in Tokyo, Japan. The new album, produced and mixed by legendary metal producer Fredrik Nordström (In Flames, At the Gates, HammerFall, Dimmu Borgir), was recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden in March of 2024 and has been heralded as a landmark album for Japanese metal and “an instant classic” (Burrn! Magazine, June 2024).

Metal Hammer claimed: “Another triumph [they] have nailed down a sound that is at once quintessentially Japanese and uniquely theirs… marrying NWOBHM and European power-metal with infectious J-Pop choruses”.

Born Again has also just been released on limited edition red and black splatter vinyl. It can be purchased exclusively via at PsychoShop.net

The ‘Into the World Forever’ tour kicked off in Australia in October 2024 when BRIDEAR supported metal icons DREAM EVIL before returning to Japan for a run of successful headline shows.
