Michael Monroe will release their new studio album, Blackout States, on October 16th 2015 via Spinefarm Records. This 13 track outing, produced by Chips Kiesbye (Hellacopters, Nomads, etc.) in Gothenburg, Sweden, and mixed by Petri Majuri in Helsinki, Finland, is the follow-up to Horns And Halos - a Finnish chart-topper in 2013.

With Blackout States, Monroe's current touring and recording outfit - bassist Sami Yaffa (ex-Hanoi Rocks/New York Dolls), guitarist Steve Conte (ex-New York Dolls/Company Of Wolves), guitarist Rich Jones (ex-Black Halos/Amen) and drummer Karl Rockfist (ex-Chelsea Smiles/Danzig) - provide strong creative support.

The band heads to London to play the Camden Rocks Festival on May 30th. This one-off U.K. appearance (at Camden Proud) will be filmed by celebrated videographer/ photographer Ville Juurikkala as part of the video for the first single from the new album.

Says Monroe: "I'm extremely excited about our new album, Blackout States. It has all the ingredients of a perfect rock'n'roll record - strong melodic songs with great meaningful lyrics that defy all clichés, delivered with a punky, ballsy attitude by a killer band. I highly recommend Blackout States to anyone who's even a little bit interested in what real, authentic, high energy rock'n'roll at its best sounds like today."
