BRIDE

For more than three decades, BRIDE has continually evolved-shifting styles, pushing boundaries, and refusing to be boxed in by trends or expectations. From the heavy metal punch of their 1980s output to the gritty blues-based hard rock of the early '90s, the Louisville, KY-based band has never stood still. In the 2000s and 2010s, BRIDE returned to their heavier roots with a string of acclaimed albums, and now in 2025, they deliver one of their most ambitious and inspired releases yet.Originally self-released as a 2-CD set by the band, Vipers & Shadows is a 20-song double album that brings together the best of BRIDE's trademark sounds-fierce hard rock, spiritual urgency, introspective lyrics, bluesy grooves, and moments of soaring melody. It's a record that doesn't just revisit BRIDE's past-it expands on it, offering a powerful and purposeful musical experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
