Always sparkling, always brilliant – and heavy as usual – Portuguese power-trio Madmess release a new LP »The Third Coming« on May 9th via Glory or Death (USA), Kozmik Artifactz (EU) and gig.ROCKS! (PT).

They might as well be one of Europe’s hidden gems when it comes to the psychedelic scene, but maybe no longer like that. »Velvet Nebula«, the first peek from Madmess newest and third album, has just been revealed for us to mouth water, chew and spit what sounds to be a prelude for what’s next to come, following a rich year of touring where they stepped the likes of Krach am Bach (Germany), ArcTanGent (UK), Freak Valley Xmas (DE) or Sonic Blast (PT).

Hidden – we said – but w/ a faithful crew of followers yearning for new Madmess songs, the following track goes onto a more classical and mature approach, reminisce the Bonham-like flavours on drums w/ modern psychedelia melodies flourishing for five minutes plus a few crumbs that are more than enough to eager us, waiting for further ear-catching songs, the record itself and, most importantly, for the first chances of banging this riffs live – across Europe and beyond – as the stage remains their natural habitat.

With a tour scheduled for late-May (covering Portugal, Spain and France), »Velvet Nebula« is a glimpse of the fog that’s about to come over Europe.

The 1st single »Velvet Nebula« is officially released today! Stay tuned for more details about the 2nd single & the upcoming album soon!
