London heavy rockers STEAK stream new album ‘Acute Mania’ in full; out tomorrow via Ripple Music with special ‘Mad Lord’ comic book and movie!

London heavy rock stalwarts STEAK premiere their third studio album “Acute Mania” in its entirety exclusively via Metal Injection today! It will be available worldwide tomorrow on Ripple Music, alongside the exclusive “Steak: Mad Lord” comic book and “Mad Lord: Samurai of 1000 Deaths” short movie. 

Five years after ‘No God To Save’, STEAK return with their third album and most finely produced work to date, ‘Acute Mania’. Full of the foursome’s unique take on expansive desert blues, this is an ambitious and confident record from a band that has undoubtedly come into its own: intense, brooding, full of hooks and atmosphere, it at times leans towards a more progressive and post-rock sound, crowned by a gripping performance from frontman Kippa and special guest vocals from Chantal Brown (Vodun) and Tom Cameron (ex-Crystal Head).

The ‘Mad Lord’ project is a creative collaboration between STEAK and filmmaker Samuel Smith, who have produced an interconnected body of work that coincides with the release of the album. With the vinyl edition of ‘Acute Mania’ will come a 24-page comic book entitled ‘Steak: Mad Lord’. Written by Samuel Smith and illustrated by Rhys Wooton, it brings together STEAK‘s long-established post-apocalyptic future and the Samurai world of feudal Japan taken from the short film ‘Mad Lord: Samurai of 1000 Deaths’, which will also be released on April 1st worldwide.

Emerging from the shadows of murky London bars, this quartet’s love for the underground knows no bounds. Helping to shape a movement in rock and roll music across the UK and Europe – guitarist Reece Tee is also one of the founding members of the legendary Desertfest – STEAK has forged a path on a crusade to make cities shake and heads roll since 2012. After releasing a series of devastatingly heavy EPs and their debut full-length ‘Slab City’ on Napalm Records, the foursome found a home on Californian label Ripple Music for the release of their 2017 sophomore album ‘No God to Save’, supported by extensive touring with the likes of John Garcia, The Atomic Bitchwax and Greenleaf.

Five years later, STEAK is finally ready to unleash their long-awaited third full-length ‘Acute Mania’ on Ripple Music. It was recorded and mixed by JB Pilon at Buffalo Studio, and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén at Tri-Lamb Studios, with artwork by Schoph Schofield and Rhys Wootton. It will be released on limited edition cand classic vinyl, CD and digital via Ripple Music. The band will also be appearing at Desertfest London and Desertfest Berlin 2022 this spring to present the album alongside their greatest stoner rock classics. ► Watch Steak’s latest videos “Papas Special Custard” and “Ancestors
