The album follows their debut EP Rotten, which was released in May of 2015.
The lead single, Fangs premiered on the Radio 1 Rock Show as ‘Rockest Record’, and all three tracks have picked up plays on Radio 1.
Blossom will be available in multiple formats including CD, vinyl, and a limited, signed, ‘Hyper Deluxe’ vinyl.
Frank Carter has hand painted 100 unique alternative covers for the ‘Hyper Deluxe’ Vinyl; it will also include a t-shirt, pin and more.
Frank Carter said, “I am very excited about joining forces with KLS at what I believe is a defining moment in my career. After a decade in the industry I have found myself in a position to hand pick the team around me and the opportunity to work with KLS was one I couldn’t turn down. Hard working, diligent, incredibly pro-active and forward thinking — the only company truly ready for the future.”
Vincent Clery-Melin, Kobalt Label Services Managing Director, UK and Europe said, “It’s a pleasure and an honor to work with Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, and ATC management on this release.
“Frank is arguably the most amazing active live front-man there is, and the band’s first album is everything we would hope as fans – direct, uncompromising, visceral and from the heart.
“He is also the perfect artist for KLS; the band are self contained when it comes to making music, creating the art and their own aesthetic, with a DIY ethos and a clear vision of what they want to achieve; and want to retain control of their rights and their destiny. We’re excited to be a part of the next steps of their careers.”
