Heavy Water - Red Brick City

HEAVY WATER, which features SAXONS Biff Byford and his son Seb Byford, are to release their debut album "Red Brick City" on July 23rd 2021 via Silver Lining Music. The album features ten songs and takes you on a journey through influences and invention, which has you hooked from the first note.

That rock and singing runs in the family is clear in the Byford camp, both the heavy metal father Biff with a marvelous vocals along with his son that also posses the gift as a brilliant singer Byford Junior is.

"Red Brick City" is very obviously the product of lockdown frustration, an album that turned out to be a great output, nothing lightweight about these songs, nor anything frivolous or throwaway about its sound.

Slathered in classic Rock ‘n’ Roll soul and soaked in gritty, hard-baked riffs, and topped off with rich, raunchy vocals… Welcome to HEAVY WATER and their debut album "Red Brick City".

The foundations for HEAVY WATER’s sound are set in both that incredible father/son chemistry and a lifetime of know-how and experiences. Take the title track -and first single- "Red Brick City": all steam and smoulder wrapped around a riff SOUNDGARDEN would’ve been proud of.

“We decided to do something together in these dark times and the family came together to help get this album off the ground” explained Seb and Biff.

Seb Byford recorded and engineered "Red Brick City" at the Big Silver Barn in York, UK, while the drums were recorded by Ben Hammond at Reel Recording Studio in York. Seb produced the album with Biff, and Jacky Lehmann mastered. "Red Brick City" sees Seb take the reins on guitar and vocals, with Biff taking up the bass and vocal mantle. Tom Witts plays the drums, while Dave Kemp rounds out the Heavy Water line-up on keyboards and saxophone. A rich, lustrous ride through profoundly rewarding rock waters. To cap off this family affair, the packaging photos were taken by Steph Byford.

“We had great fun doing this album, working together on the songs and recording during lockdown,” concluded Biff and Seb. “It’s all recorded without samples or profiles... just loud and proud!”
