Grounded in heavy blues-rock and drawing heavily from classic ’60s and ’70s influences, Swedish band Angstbadan has built a sound that feels both timeless and fiercely personal. Following their critically acclaimed 2018 debut The Chase and its soul-infused 2021 follow-up Love and Mercy, the band, consisting of Filip Karlström (vocals/guitar), Joel Strandberg (bass), Lada Egolaeva (organ/keyboards), and Johan Kalla/Johan Svedmyr (drums), returns with their highly anticipated third album, recorded at Stockholm’s Studio Kapsylen with production by Jörgen "Jugglo" Wall and Anders "Boba" Lindström (The Hellacopters).
Are You Crying Now is a blasting, high-octane tribute to the golden era of rock, packed with burning melodic riffs, fuzz-soaked guitars, and roaring, distorted Hammond organ. Lyrically focused on breaking free from societal expectations, the track hits with a driving pace and a heavy Deep Purple-esque mood. Combining raw retro flair with a sleek modern punch, it’s a killer, top-tier performance from start to finish.
