With the recent announcement of their first album in thirteen years, “VII“, still in the minds of their fans, flamenco metal favourites Breed 77 are offering up a taste of the album in the shape of their new single “Wish You Well“.
The first taste of new Breed 77 for some time, Wish You Well is more than worth the wait! It roars out of the gate with a huge opening riff from Danny Felice. A wonderful blend of guitar styles features throughout, melded together with frontman Paul Isola’s trademark vocal tones. It’s short, snappy, and gives off an important message.
| Wish You Well can also be streamed on this link. Here is Paul to tell everyone a bit more about their new single: |
| “Our latest cut off our new album, ‘VII’ is an eclectic affair – exotic and emotive, ‘Wish You Well’ is a celebration of the chaos – the thousands of differing opinions and points of view, some of these held by people close to you. It’s alright if we don’t see eye to eye on some issues, throughout life people change and their views change – I guess the message of the song is a somewhat sarcastic ‘ Even though I think you’re wrong, I wish you well…’ You know? Don’t lose friends over differences – in this crazy world we live in EVERYONE has crazy ideas/views but we need to talk them through. ‘Wish You Well’ is a bit of a trip for its relatively short 3 minutes and change run time; we take you on quite a journey – it floats, it kicks, it’s grungy, there’s a bit of flamenco in there – we’re not pulling any punches, it’s full-on Breed |
| Wish You Well is the latest single to be surfaced by Breed 77 from their brand new upcoming album “VII”. VII is set for release on November 13 aka Friday the 13th! VII has everything listeners would want and fans would expect of a new Breed 77 album; riffs as sharp as a tack, moments of the trademark flamenco guitar work, clever lyrics and blistering guitar solos. And that’s just for starters! VII offers 11 new Breed 77 songs including the successful singles End Of The Line, Outside and Just Act Like You Know. New single Wish You Well is set to join them, with seven more tracks ready to give you a full force dose of Breed 77 like you haven’t had in over a decade. VII is available to pre-save on your digital platform of choice here. |
| To tell you more about their long overdue, eagerly awaited new album, we will once again hand over to Breed 77 frontman Paul Isola: “The recording of this album has taken place over a year and a half and 3 countries, the writing of it even more – it wasn’t the most ideal situation but I think we thrive through adversity, you take negatives and turn them into positives, use the time, hone the songs, develop them and explore where they take you. The result is an album with real musical depth… ‘VII’ is a sprawling, eclectic affair, not by design but by the nature of how we recorded it – it takes inspiration from a large period of our lives, kinda like our first album all over again haha! It straddles the spectrum from driving metal riffs and the energy we’re known for – to soft ballads and everything in-between! This album still sounds like Breed 77, I mean, there’s the flamenco guitars, the tribal rhythms, the hooky vocal lines, but it stretches and pulls at the concept of B77 in a dozen different directions – it’s Breed evolved, somewhat familiar, but fresh and exciting. Lyrically, ‘VII’ explores various themes, there’s a lot in there on how, in today’s society, there’s so many of us that feel we don’t fit in; In the same way we felt in our youth, in the schoolyard – you’d think you’d have found your place in the world by now…well I’m here to say that it’s OK not to fit in, it’s OK to think different…it’s OK to BE different – it’s the original thinkers that will save the world! We cannot stress how important, how vital this album is for Breed 77 – after so much time it was imperative to us to have music that we believed in, songs that were strong and could sit beside the crowd favourites in our set…’VII’ is our mission statement – Breed 77 is back in a big way!” |
| Having delivered a string of hugely impressive live performances since their comeback in 2024, most notably on the Sophie Lancaster Stage at Bloodstock Festival 2025, Breed 77 will be hitting the road in the build up to the release of VII. Those lucky enough to be in Manchester on Friday the 13th of November will get a release day show, but expect the band to be playing new material on all dates, as well as all your old favourites.
