(TeamRock Radio) Black Peaks say they feel under less pressure since releasing their debut album Statues. It was issued earlier this year - and on the third episode of Metal Hammer: In Residence on Spotify, vocalist Will Gardner reveals he and his bandmates are just enjoying supporting the album on the road.

He says: "I'd say less so now that the album's out - it's all just plain sailing. We're just enjoying it until the end of this record cycle. We're out playing shows and meeting people, meeting our heroes and playing our tunes to lots of lovely people. There's pressure to be out there playing shows - but we love that and I think that's the only pressure we really feel."

They were in the studio for 14 days putting the finishing touches to Statues, but Gardner says for their second album, he'd like a little more time to experiment with different sounds.

He continues: "On the next record it would be nice to have three weeks or a month in the studio and have more time playing around with percussion, bring a string section in - any of those kind of things.

"We always think quite big with our writing. We're quite proggy with our approach." Read more here.
