UK metalcore band Shields have released the video for their new single Black Dog, out now. The single comes ahead of the band’s new album Life In Exile, out April 20 via Long Branch Records. Pre-orders for the album have also gone live.
The cover art for the single (see below) was made in dedication of guitarist George Christie.
The news follows the band’s tour with Escape the Fate and subsequent release of new single It’s Killing Me and now Black Dog, their first new material in nearly three years.
The London-based metal band were established in 2012, releasing their first EP in 2013. Since then, Shields have toured the UK relentlessly, gathering a strong following. In April 2015 Shields dropped their second EP Guilt which for the next two years would take them on tours running laps around Mainland Europe and the UK, and land them festivals and shows with the likes of Born Of Osiris, Chelsea Grin, Ice Nine Kills and Veil Of Maya to name a few. During their extensive touring schedule the band were writing on and off the road for their next release.
