Billy Nomates Announces New Album “Metalhorse” due 16th May via Invada Records
& Shares New Single “The Test”
Billy Nomates aka Bristol-based songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tor Maries today announces her new album ‘Metalhorse’, which will be released on 16th May and is now available to pre-order from Invada.
The announcement is joined by the new single, ‘The Test‘, which was premiered by Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music and is out now.
A propulsive heartland rock track, ‘The Test’ is rebellious in nature, driving through Tor’s increasingly powerful vocal line atop a low humming bass and sparking piano interjections. The first track written for Metalhorse, ‘The Test’ encapsulates the turmoil of the last 18 months and the bewilderment that Billy Nomates is still going in spite of it all.
The song is accompanied by a visualiser by the album’s creative director Tom Skipp.
The fierce beat, the brooding low end and gritty piano keys, the electronic elements surrounding the soundscape, Billy Nomates is back with one of the most exhilarating and effective new ensembles. When Tor’s powerful vocal harmonies join and showcase the immense range and intensity that drives the arrangement, the audience is hooked.
A mesmeric and expressive release that affects the listeners’ mood too. The track continues to build up to the driving and raucous finale where the synth notes expand and loop with this magical effect leading the way for the lyrics to resonate with the emotion put in.
This is Billy Nomates’ third studio release, following 2023’s critically acclaimed CACTI and her self-titled 2020 debut. Pre-order from Invada now
