Black Country Communion - V

V is the fifth studio album by English American hard blues rock band Black Country Communion, released in June 2024 via J&R Adventures and Mascot Records.

Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian come together to release new music for the first time in 7 years.

Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Shirley, 'V' marks a monumental chapter in the band's storied career, embodying a renewed spirit and an evolution of their unmistakable sound. Shirley captures the essence of the band's journey, stating, "For a band that started out as a collection of the best practitioners of their instruments, they very quickly found a unique sound. This time around, it has more purpose, the riffs are tougher, and there are hooks! Yes, hooks! It’s the most cohesive record, full of soul and grit, and I think this is the one that’s going to be the benchmark for Black Country Communion."

Glenn agrees, “In my opinion, we had the best time recording this record at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, tons of fun & a magical recording. Meet you inside the Music.”

"Stay Free," the lead single, is a powerhouse track that blends hard rock's raw energy with a heavy dose of blues, channeling the spirit of legends like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. It sets the tone for what fans can expect from 'V' – a testament to the band's dynamic synergy and creative evolution.

This double album 2LP record set is a limited edition on 180 gram “cosmic blue” marble splatter coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with 3 bonus tracks and a download, pressed in Europe via J&R Adventures and Mascot Records.
