Australian Heavy metal act Wicked Smile release their second single titled ‘Face Of The Wicked’ from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘When Night Falls’. This is the follow up to the band’s highly acclaimed debut album ‘Wait For The Night’ (2021).
Face Of The Wicked is a riff heavy, slower tempo track influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath & Dio. This single really showcases the powerhouse voice of vocalist Danny Cecati (ex Pegazus & Eyefear), as he takes his hat off to his mega influence Ronnie James Dio. Guitarist Stevie goes onto add, “our new album is the natural progression for us. We wear our influences on our sleeves and the new album is no different. If you’re a fan of Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Savatage, Dokken, Icon & Skid Row, I think you’ll like what we’ve done on our new album! We’ve written a heavier album with classic metal roots, with a wide seamless range of slower old school influenced hits and full blown up-tempo metallic tracks with a hook!
Wicked Smile’s new album When Night Falls is now available for pre-order and will be released worldwide on February 6th.
