A few weeks ago, I announced that Marty Friedman was due to release a new album in late August. I had not followed up on that until today, and it turns out the album now has a name: Bad D.N.A., and here’s the cover:
There is an official announcement from the official Marty Friedman website which reads as follows:
Marty`s 10th solo album, “BAD D.N.A.” is completed and its release date is 8/25 on Avex in Japan.
Without going into much detail, (we at the site have only heard short previews of half of the songs at this time) it is safe to say that the album will be a natural progression picking up where Loudspeaker and Tokyo Jukebox left off and adding its own twists and turns.
The first Japanese pressing will include the first music video for the title track, “BAD D.N.A.” directed by Visual Trap, who have directed all of the videos of Dir En Grey.
Stay tuned to this page for international release news.
