For Kris Barras Band, formed in 2015 and led by MMA fighter-turned-musician\u003cbr\u003eKris Barras, that muse has guided them from blues beginnings to a hard rock renaissance. It continues to be\u003cbr\u003eone hell of a ride, having reached number 5 in the Official UK Album Chart and number 1 in the Rock \u0026amp;amp; Metal\u003cbr\u003eAlbum Chart with 2024’s ‘Halo Effect’.\u003cbr\u003eThat fascinating evolution continues on their forthcoming sixth album, ‘Monsters We Made’, with a sound that\u003cbr\u003econtinues to suit the scale of the legendary venues they’ve played, including Wembley Arena and the Royal\u003cbr\u003eAlbert Hall, while drawing comparisons with the likes Black Stone Cherry and Shinedown – which suits Kris\u003cbr\u003ejust fine. “We wanted big singalongs, big riffs, big solos,” the band’s leader says of their creative ethos this\u003cbr\u003etime around. “The kind of hard rock music that belongs in arenas – dense, complex and able to energise the\u003cbr\u003ebiggest crowds.” \u003cbr\u003eSuch ambitions are easier said than done, but with the band’s guitarist\/keyboardist Josiah Manning on\u003cbr\u003eproduction duties, it’s a task the Devon band – completed by bassist Frazer Kerslake and drummer Billy\u003cbr\u003eHammett – have been equal to. For evidence, you need only listen to the colossal opening title track, which\u003cbr\u003etackles the idea of being your own worst enemy and features what Kris rightly considers “one of the best\u003cbr\u003echoruses I’ve ever written”; or the epic ballad, “Otherside”, which plucks at heartstrings and orchestral strings\u003cbr\u003ealike.\u003cbr\u003e“I’d like to think this record could unite our older and newer fans,” says Kris of ‘Monsters We Made’, a record\u003cbr\u003ethat will appeal to blues fans thanks to its contrasts between light and dark, as well as rock fans wanting to\u003cbr\u003ebang their heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Tahoma;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
