After announcing that their new album, Bad Star, will be out on April 25, HIMALAYAS have now confirmed they'll be hitting the road in the UK for a headline tour in May and June.

“We’re back for a headline tour across some of our favourite UK venues and can’t wait to bring BAD STAR to you," says singer/guitarist Joe Williams. "Join us as we celebrate our new album alongside a healthy dose of classic HIMALAYAS tunes. We’re so excited to be back on the road to share more hooks, headbangers and heavy carnage with you.”

Announcing the album last week, the band also dropped a new single, Afterlife.

“Everyone prays for something better, or thinks there’s something better coming once you get past the right now," explains Joe of the song's meaning. "I wanted to explore the idea that maybe there won't be something better than what we have currently and embracing that.

“The [album's] themes are based upon the disaster of men and the fact that we create our own problems a lot of the time. Disaster happens, and that comes through in every facet of the album, whether that's a positive thing or negative thing.”

“We didn't go into writing it thinking we’d say this, but it turned out, everything's fucked,” adds guitarist Mike Griffiths. “That's how all the songs ended up going: Everything's fucked.”
