Acclaimed Blues Rock guitarist and vocalist Anthony Gomes is back with his much-anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, set for release on Friday, April 25, 2025, via Rat Pak Records. Following the success of his 2022 #1 Billboard-charting album High Voltage Blues, Praise the Loud delivers 12 fresh studio tracks that showcase Anthony's musical evolution while staying true to the no-holds-barred sound that has earned him a global fanbase.
Reflecting on the new album, Anthony shares, "On Praise the Loud, we pushed our musical boundaries in every direction. We wanted it to rock harder than anything we've done before, but at the same time, we wanted it to have a deeper, more soulful blues feel. My favorite line on the album comes from the song 'Rock & Roll Bluesman': 'I don't care if they love or hate us, gonna turn it up so they won't forget us.' That line captures the spirit of the album-declaring that we're playing blues rock on our own terms, no matter what." From the powerful rhythms of the album opener "Praise the Loud" to the ZZ Top-inspired groove of "Netflix & Chill, " Anthony tackles a range of emotions and topics with his signature blend of layered harmonies, infectious rhythms, and blues-infused grooves. Tracks like "Meet My Maker, " "Black Diamond Heavy, " and "Electric Blues Crusade" highlight his ability to stretch his creative boundaries and expand his lyrical scope, while songs like "Love Song Gone Wrong" and "In the Name of the Blues" showcase his unmistakable blues guitar mastery. Produced by Peter Carson/Anthony Gomes and mixed by Chris Collier, Praise the Loud packs all the punch and energy fans have come to expect from this world-class blues artist.
