On the heels of re-visiting Latin American stages and announcing a new album and tour for autumn 2025, Canadian high-octane rock three-piece DANKO JONES have released their anticipated single “What You Need“. The song represents the band’s first auditory glimpse from their new album and also marks their debut at their new label, PERCEPTION, while their partnership with Sonic Unyon Records in their home country remains unchanged.

While fans still have to be a little bit more patient until learning more about the forthcoming record, the new track comes straight to the point: “If you want it, you got it, we’re gonna give you WHAT YOU NEED!” Who would even dare to refuse such a teasing offer and say ‘no’ to this powerful new DANKO JONES tune?! Concise guitar riffing introduces the single before the rest of the band jumpstart “What You Need“ leading into its immersive chorus, making it an undeniable future live classic on top.

Danko adds: “‘What You Need’ is not only the first single off our new album, it’s also the opening cut to it. It’s loud, fast, and infectious. Turn this up until the volume knob breaks or your ceiling caves in!”

“What You Need” was crafted with long-time partners — Grammy and Juno award-winning producer/mixing engineer Eric Ratz (BILLY TALENT, BIG SUGAR, CANCER BATS etc.) and Grammy winning mastering expert Harry Hess (Hbomb Mastering) — and arrives in time for the trio’s first 2025 European show, which will see them take the Paaspop stage in Schijndel, Netherlands in two weeks. Adam Mallett, another well-known face in the DANKO JONES universe, contributed contemporary single artwork which is additionally displayed on the “Danko Jones Is What You Need” tour admat.

As previously mentioned, Danko Jones will promote their upcoming studio album in the traditional way, by embarking on a 15-date tour across Europe, visiting 10 different countries.

Helsinki-based doom metal band Denigrate released their fourth full length album titled To the Goddess Unknown on November 29th 2024. In the beginning of March 2025 their founding member, guitarist and main composer of Denigrate Seppo Nummela passed away suddenly. Their new music video was filmed earlier and now it’s finished and released to honor the memory of Seppo.

Watch the music video here: https://youtu.be/h0MxKRh13WE

Denigrate’s Singer Galzi tells about the Song and the music video:

“In The Light was one of the first compositions for the album “To The Goddess Unknown” -the last individual of the album release as a music video. Also the song was the only one from the album that kept its’ work name from the beginning until completion. We wanted to make this a proper art-and-headbanging-video to underline the sheer joy of doing what we do. Huge thanks goes to Markus Saarela for capturing the moments.

Though the song tells about taking and giving nothing in return, there dwells a glimpse of hope for a change at the end. This we will dedicate to the memory of our key-member, the founder of Denigrate, Seppo Nummela. We’ll keep carrying the torch, don’t you worry brother!”

Track-list:

  1. Crystal Rest
  2. The Ethics of Loss
  3. Under Ether
  4. The Apparition of One
  5. One who holds the balance
  6. Sesame and Lilies
  7. In the Light
  8. Semidiapente

Galzi Kallio – Vocals
Pekka Pyrhönen – Bass
Seppo Nummela – Guitar
Teemu Riekki – Guitar
