Rockshots Records is thrilled to drop the news that Highway Queen, the Finnish melodic hard rock powerhouse, is back with a bang! Their latest EP, "Extendead Play," launched on all major platforms on January 17th, 2025. If you thought you knew these guys, think again—this EP is a fresh chapter in their musical journey.
What is to be expected from "Extendead Play" then? So, fasten your seatbelt! Highway Queen is delivering its own sound, which combines elements of hard rock from the 1980s with contemporary melodic flair. We're talking explosive rhythms and strong riffs that want to be played loudly through your speakers. The lyrics? They explore rage, passion, bitterness, and that agonizing sense of longing—the unadulterated, unfiltered elements of existence. Folks, it's all there! The highs and lows of life are captured in this collection, and guess what? The "Lies" music video, which was released today, gives their narrative a powerful visual impact.
Since they first hit the scene in late 2019, Highway Queen has been on the rise like a comet. Their debut album, "Bitter Soul," dropped in 2022 and blew us all away. With "Extendead Play," they've continued to evolve, and trust me, you're going to want to hear what they've cooked up this time. Each track was crafted under the deft hands of producer Aleksanteri Kuosa, the genius behind other legendary bands like Waltari and Before The Dawn. If you're a fan of melodic hard rock, heavy rock, or even the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM for the cool kids), you’re in for a treat.
With "Extendead Play," Highway Queen isn’t just playing around—they’re here to claim their throne in the melodic rock realm, bringing a refreshing modern edge that’ll resonate with your heart and soul. So crank that volume, people! Get ready to join them on yet another electrifying journey through sound.
