DIABLO BLVD Discuss Views On Mass Media Belgian dark rock outfit DIABLO BLVD have recently released a brand new video for 'Summer Has Gone', taken from the highly awaited new album Zero Hour, which is scheduled for a September 22nd release. The new album deals with subjects such as politics, religion and mass manipulation. Today the band share their thoughts on mass media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsT4iAPEY4M Vocalist Alex Agnew comments: "The thing I probably blame the most in the age of fear we live now is the media because they seem to be the ones to feed on fear. It sells more newspapers and makes you watch more shows. There is more biased commentary on everything that happens. We have never been confronted more by the fact that governments and media are lying to us and it still seems to change nothing.

We definitely had an idea about how the album was supposed to sound and we tried very much to stick to our original idea of a dark, moody yet aggressive album. The fact that we are also living in troubled times politically, socially and economically has also had a h...

DIABLO BLVD Unleash 2 Music Videos And New Album 'Zero Hour' Is Available To Pre-order Belgian dark rock outfit DIABLO BLVD is proud to announce the launch of 2 brand new music videos. 'Animal' and 'Sing From The Gallows' are the first 2 singles taken from the highly awaited new album, Zero Hour, which is scheduled for September 22th, 2017. DIABLO BLVD main man Alex Agnew had to say on the announcement: "I once heard somebody say that in troubling times like these, there can never be enough bands using their music and lyrics as a platform to object and to protest. It’s safe to say that »Zero Hour« is our contribution to that statement and although I realize there’s too much beyond our control, it would be an even bigger crime not to speak about it.
