The band that we thought couldn’t be killed, The Beasts – aka surviving members of the Beasts of Bourbon – are releasing a new studio album and it will be the last chapter.
“Ultimo” was recorded over two days at Melbourne’s Union Studios, during a break from the nationally sold-out Alive Tour earlier this year, and it will be released on December 13 via Slick Productions through MGM.
An 11-track live recording, it includes a collection of Beasts’ classics and fan favourites, none of which appeared on the limited edition “be suburban” EP that was sold on tour.
The Beasts are James Baker, Tex Perkins, Kim Salmon, Boris Sujdovic and Charlie Owen. “Ultimo” features songwriting contributions from Baker, Salmon, Perkins and Sujdovic.
“Ultimo” and “The Beasts Alive” will be released digitally and as a double gate-fold vinyl package. No words on any live dates yet. You can pre-save the digital releases here and pre-order the vinyl here.
