Cardinal Black Releases Single Ahead of Third Album

Cardinal Black has released the new single 'Take Me to the Water', which follows the riff-driven single 'Saving Grace'. Tom Hollister provides the vocals, Chris Buck the guitar playing and Adam Roberts the drumming on the band's track. Hollister wrote the lyrics from the perspective of a man searching for certainty and becoming drawn toward the online manosphere.

Third album 'Second Sign of Life' arrives January 29, 2027, through Thirty Tigers and contains 10 songs. The band recorded nine days at Hamburg's Clouds Hill Studios while touring Europe with Alter Bridge. For the first time, the band produced and engineered an album themselves, with touring bassist and recording engineer Sam Andrews contributing to the sessions.

The debut album 'January Came Close' topped the Apple Music and Amazon album charts. 'Midnight at the Valencia' reached No. 1 on the UK Official Independent Album Breakers Chart. Cardinal Black have shared stages with Joe Bonamassa, Myles Kennedy and Peter Frampton.

The band will embark on its biggest UK and Ireland headline tour in spring 2027. The tour's first listed date is March 30 at KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, UK. The tour's concert in Cardiff is on April 17 at Great Hall. The tour's concert in Hamburg is on May 10 at Knust. The tour's final listed date is May 13 at John Dee in Oslo, Norway. North American tour dates are planned for June 2027, with details to be announced.
