Legendary Swedish prog rock band Beardfish is back with a new single "In The Autumn" and the announcement of their first new record in nine years, Songs For Beating Hearts due out November 1. The new single features guest vocalist Amanda Örtenhag and a music video with some pretty sweet dance moves.
"I think the reunion became an idea in 2021, a few years ago," said Beardfish frontman Rikard Sjöblom about the band's reunion. "We started talking about doing something. People had made amends, and I guess everyone started missing being in a band together, and missing each other! We all kept in touch, and things ended up on the right foot in many aspects, and then we started talking about maybe meeting up and trying to play something.
"I had a couple of new songs written, and they really sounded like Beardfish, and I had some instrumental doodles that I was working on. So we met up and tried to play. The first thing we played was 'Without Saying Anything' from Mammoth, and we started jamming and it felt like home, even after many years. I felt like, 'These are my brothers!'"
