New York, NY (Top40 Charts) London-based international acid rockers SWEDISH DEATH CANDY have today released their new single 'Always', the third track taken from the band's second album, Are You Nervous?, which is chalked for release on the 27th September 2019 through Hassle Records.

Alongside the album, the quartet also recently revealed a huge run of live appearances including extensive EU tour dates and festival appearances, and a November 2019 run of UK headline tour dates, including their biggest London headline show to date at The Moth Club on 13th November.
Recorded with Tobin Jones and assistant engineer LucasMendez at The Park Studios in Wembley, Are You Nervous? is a deeper delve into the band's sprawling cultural influences than they've ever committed to tape before. Whilst retaining their core psych-sound, there's a heaviness to SDC that seems latent within the band; gut-twisting, rolling riffs, dripping in distortion, ooze naturally from their skin like psychoactive substances from a toxic frog.
The band have so far received support for the new record from Bass Guitar Magazine, Powerplay Magazine, PROG, Classic Rock, Louder Sound, Planet Rock Radio, and Kerrang! Global Creative Director/MOJO contributing editor Phil Alexander.
Rounding out the end of last year with three exhaustive months of European touring, SDC kicked off 2019 on a short stretch of dates with Dutch psych rockers DeWolff, and an extensive run of dates supporting Nashville rock band All Them Witches, with appearances at Raw Power Festival, Sonic Whip Festival, DesertFest Berlin, and more.

Pulling influence from the likes of Black Sabbath to Queens of The Stone Age via Can and The Beatles to Oasis, SDC's music ebbs and flows from beautiful soundscapes to hellish psychedelic trips, all focused through a barrage of increasingly crushing riffs slathered in distortion and utilising as many FX pedals as seems humanly possibly.
A live force to be reckoned with, anyone who's seen them performing in the flesh will testify that SDC are capable of upstaging most bands they play with, no matter how skilled or established. Whilst out in Europe, not only were they selected for a filmed session with Seattle's infamous KEXP at Transmuicales, but they also performed their debut album top to bottom for legendary French Music show 'Album de la Semaine' on CANAL+ (whose recent guests include Idles and The Breeders).
Early support slots with Wand, Yak and Kvelertak all opened the door to critical praise from Dan P Carter at Radio 1, NME, Clash Magazine, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, The 405, and The Metro, with performances at festivals such as Eurosonic, Transmusicales and Desertfest cementing their reputation as one of the most incendiary new live bands on the circuit.
