IDLE HANDS - Debut Full-Length Out In May, First Single Available For Streaming

Portland (USA) based gothic/heavy metal band Idle Hands is proud to announce their highly-anticipated debut album Mana, which will be released on 10th May via Eisenwald. The band's first single, "Give Me To The Night" is now available for streaming and you can hear it in the player below. Fans of bands like Paradise Lost, In Solitude, Tribulation and as well those into The Sisters Of Mercy will have something to enjoy in this music.
Entering the studio only four months after the release of their debut EP Don't Waste Your Time, the heavy upstarts Idle Hands quickly went to work crafting their first full-length record. Mana conjures an emotive 40-minute ride into the realms of heavy metal, new wave and goth rock, while continuing to solidify the band's unique brand of heavy music.
Formed deep in the heart of the Pacific Northwest in 2017, the band initially began as a sole creative outlet for former Spellcaster bassist Gabriel Franco, who now handles vocals and rhythm guitar.
"Mana is eight months for 40 minutes", Franco tells. "I spent every waking moment for the better part of the last year thinking about some detail or another regarding this album and I am very satisfied with the end result. Also immensely grateful to have such talented and open minded bandmates willing to work with me and my sometimes questionable ideas, but I promise there is substance in all these tracks, and we all put real hard work and honest emotion into everything we do."
