Den danska hårdrocksakten D-A-D har tillkännagivit sitt helt nya, trettonde album, med titeln ’Speed Of Darkness’, som är planerat att släppas den 4 oktober 2024 via AFM Records! Inte nog med att vi kan förvänta oss en ovanligt stark samling låtar, readn idag har bandet redan premiär för två(!) singlar, låtarna ‘The Ghost’ och ‘1st, 2nd & 3rd’
I samarbete med producenten Nick Foss avslöjar Jacob Binzer: ”He says that this is the strongest pool of songs in a long time, and he has, after all, been in the game since 1988.” He adds that he agrees with the producer: ”Although you can’t really judge albums before one to two years after their release, I also think that this is a strong pool. Some of these songs have surprised me positively while we recorded them, and that is very promising.”
Jesper Binzer håller med sin bror: Jesper Binzer agrees with his brother: ”For the first time in three to four albums, I am totally excited about our material, and I look forward to going into the studio every single day. We have an excess of both songs and ideas, and this is a place that I have wanted to reach with the last three to four D-A-D albums. It’s crazy how things are circular that way. I thought that everything was done, and I thought that we were just old guys who were doing whatever we could, but a new necessity has arisen,” Han menar och tillägger att samarbete är det avgörande ordet:
”There is no Kim Larsen (a famous Danish musician) in D-A-D, but four Franz Beckerlees. We are forced to cooperate, since none of us can do it all, and that’s also beautiful. New flowers are added to the bouquet every time we gather up in the studio.” About both two new songs, the band states: ”‘The Ghost’ is an epic banger that shines a light both behind and ahead. There is a Scandinavian melancholy in our universe. A song about separated love, loss and hope in a fragmented time. About holding on to something that may come, or which may already have disappeared.
“1st, 2nd & 3rd” is about the long, hard pull when you are trying to escape something that really holds you back. To be caught in addiction with relapses to bad relationships, with a hope of getting on.”

D-A-D:s kommande album, ”Speed Of Darkness”, mastrades av Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Powerwolf). Trummisen Laust Sonne lägger till: ”Jacob Hansen is really good at producing drum sounds, and he has a recording room designed for drums. There are not a lot of studios like that left out there, as most of it is done on computers in peoples’ living rooms these days. It is hard for drummers like me, who hit hard and make a lot of cymbal noise, to find studio people trained for it, but Jacob is one of them. The more I let loose, the better I sounded, so that was really awesome.”
Som stöd för dagens första låtar och samtidigt som de förbereder sig för sitt nya skivsläpp med många fler detaljer som snart kommer att avslöjas, är D-A-D på väg att kickstarta en stor festivalsommarturné med 24 konserter, med start den 19 maj på Rock Hard Festival, Tyskland. Därefter kommer de att spela 16 konserter i Norge, Sverige, Finland, Tyskland och Schweiz samt en helt utsåld show i Royal Arena i Danmark den 1 november.
