Heavy rock band AUDREY HORNE continue to deliver absolute hit material with their new single "God Damn Beautiful," cut from the new 8th studio album Achilles (out September 4 via Napalm Records)! This groovy, Thin Lizzy-inspired track brings bass player Espen Lien to center stage on lead vocals, and arrives with a playful official music video.

The follow-up to the critically praised latest studio albums Blackout (2018) and Devil's Bell (2022), the upcoming studio offering Achilles stays true to AUDREY HORNE's classic heavy rock sound while demonstrating the more melodic side of the band. These Norwegian rock exports are also set to bring the new album on the road in Europe this autumn on yet another international headline tour.

AUDREY HORNE on "God Damn Beautiful":
"The fight for being center stage and in the limelight has always been strong and at times pretty ugly in AUDREY HORNE. But now Espen has taken it a step further and pushed Toschie into the shadows. 'God Damn Beautiful' is straight-to-the-point, dripping with twin guitars and is simply beautiful, much like Espen himself. Things might look bright for him, but Toschie still has a couple of tricks up his sleeve. Stay tuned for the next chapter."

The new album features 11 multi-faceted tracks, ranging from high-energy heavy rock pieces to more melodic and progressive songs, leaving no questions about the songwriting capabilities of this five-piece, which consists of vocalist Toschie, guitarists Ice Dale (Enslaved) and Thomas Tofthagen, bassist Espen Lien, and drummer Kjetil Greve.

Hard-hitting title track "Achilles" kicks the new album right off as roaring guitars meet an impactful rhythm section, all topped with powerfully captivating vocals. The band showcases their more progressive side on the song through creating a strong contrast between different parts, which supports the lyrics that draw from today's polarized world. More hit material is delivered through songs like "God Damn Beautiful": This groovy Thin Lizzy-inspired track brings bass player Espen Lien to center stage on lead vocals. Closing track "New Star Falling" wraps the album up beautifully, showcasing the melodic side of AUDREY HORNE's sound.

With Achilles, AUDREY HORNE return with an atmospheric heavy rock album that combines classic '70s and '80s influences with lyrical themes spanning escapism to commentary on the instability of the world we live in. A perfect fit for both rock radio and live stages!
