Throughout 2016 and into early 2017 they toured as main supporting act on the entirety of Black Sabbath's notable The End Tour. The band wanted us all to escape from the dreaded C word and put the global lockdowns into the rear view mirror and focus on escapism which this video and song do perfectly. During this time bassist Robin Everhart quit the band for 'personal reasons' stating "After years of intensive touring with Rival Sons, I have come to the conclusion that I am not a road-warrior and that the rock 'n' roll lifestyle' is not for me. The bluesy “Mirrors” is a good, groovy song, though more reserved than the aforementioned “Nobody Wants To Die. And that's all I can say about it right now, because there's a couple of really important things about both albums.

In another couple of weeks, I think I'll be ready to go in and start work in there, which I'm really looking forward to – writing another album. Rival Sons – Jay Buchanan [vocals, harmonica, rhythm guitar], Scott Holiday [lead guitar], Mike Miley [drums], and Dave Beste [bass] – play rock ‘n’ roll in its purest form without apology or pretense.

Producer Bob Ezrin added: "One (album) is very hard rock; the other one is hard rock but it's twisted.

But just when it sounds like it’s going to explode into a massive chorus, it all drops away and things drop off into a few seconds of acoustic guitar and swirling keyboards. His drumming sibling Ryan O'Keeffe added: "We wanted to see people again and play to crowds again before we even think about (recording music); that's what we've always done. In 2021, Rival Sons celebrated the 10th anniversary of their 2011 album, Pressure and Time, by performing the landmark long player live in its entirety on the Pressure and Time Tour for the first time. Back in January 2022 it emerged that Seattle grunge icons Pearl Jam had joined forces with Ozzy Osbourne producer Andrew Watt at his basement studio to lay down some material.In summer 2022, Australian hard rock livewires Airbourne revealed their plans to release their sixth studio album this year. The film, directed by Kurt Kubicek, shows Rival Sons with a large dose of humour and a devil-may-care attitude. On one side, you’re fighting the darkness and, on the other, you’re bringing your own light to where there is none. You’re fully aware of the impermanence of your existence, but you can’t think about it all the time—or it’ll fuck your life up. We don't know too much about the follow-up to 2021's acclaimed 'Mammoth WVH', but Wolfgang has been posting images from the studio on social media confirming that recording process has begun.

Storm Thorgerson, who had worked with bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Genesis, created the cover art for the album voluntarily.They performed their debut LP, Before the Fire [2009], in its entirety on the first night and their self-titled EP, Rival Sons [2010], on the second.

Frontman Joel O'Keeffe told Eonmusic: "We did make an executive decision during lockdown not to be too focused on trying to make rock and roll songs that make you feel very good in an environment where you're depressed and you're being held down by the man. They performed their debut LP, Before the Fire [2009], in its entirety on the first night and their self-titled EP, Rival Sons [2010], on the second. Recorded during the sessions for their 2008 album 'All Hope Is Gone', the 11-track record features musical contributions from only four Slipknot band members – Crahan, singer Corey Taylor, guitarist Jim Root and DJ Sid Wilson. At a fat-free eight tracks, Darkfighter does what all great albums should do: get in, do its thing, get out. It won't be out until after the tour is finished, but I'm hoping to have it wrapped up by the time we start.Ultimately, Rival Sons aren’t here to tell you exactly what to think or what to feel, but they’ll give you one hell of a ride if you let them.
