AEGIS OF ATHENA

AEGIS OF ATHENA came out on avex trax on April 20, 2022 (catalog number AVCD-96947), following Bloody Bride and standing as the third album of the band's major-label run. Eleven songs: "Side of a Bullet," "Preference," "Greed," "With Me," "Determination," "Ray of Chaos," "The Bathtub," "Lodestar," "Past in Emerald," "BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED" and "Road." Two of them had already appeared as advance digital singles — "BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED" on September 1, 2021 and "Ray of Chaos" on April 8, 2022 — and "Greed" and "Determination" both got music videos. That same year BRIDEAR played SUMMER SONIC 2022, and in 2023 they opened LOUD PARK. Guitarist MOE joined after this record, moving the band on to its next line-up.
