The album ‘Holy Ground’ hit stores worldwide on the 22nd January 2021, but that was not the original plan……

After spending the last couple of months of 2019 amongst the rolling hills of Southern France at the wonderful Les Studios de La Fabrique with American producer Ben Grosse, the first Daisies album to feature English Rock legend Glenn Hughes was written and recorded. The plan was to release it in the Summer of 2020, but the world had other ideas with a global pandemic bringing everything to an immediate halt.

Titled ‘Holy Ground’, the band knew they had created something special. With the world shut down, The Dead Daisies released the first taste of what was to come with the blistering track ‘Unspoken’.  It immediately caught the imagination of both fans and media as it rocketed into Rock charts worldwide. Like a bullet, it rocked straight into the Billboard Foundations and Classic Rock Charts across the US where it sat comfortably for over 4 months peaking at number 8. In Poland it hit a chart position of number 4 competing with bands like The Rolling Stones and Bon Jovi.

Hundreds of digital and commercial radio stations from the US to the UK, Germany to Japan and Australia to Brazil with many more countries in between, instantly added it on high rotation.

With a line-up of killer songs set to be released as singles over a twelve month period including the title track ‘Holy Ground’, ‘Bustle and Flow’ and the infectious bass groove of ‘Like No Other’, the album was well worth the wait as fans bought and streamed the new album in massive numbers across the globe. It proved to be by far the biggest release to date for the band with phenomenal chart positions, reviews and reactions. Coverage in the press went from the UK daily newspapers to some of Europe’s top Rock magazines including Classic Rock, Rock Candy, Fireworks and Record Collector from the UK, Rock Hard from France, Spark magazine from Czech Rep, Rolling Stone, Classic Rock and Rock It from Germany as well a number of publications from all over the world, while Spotify spiked to new heights.

The chart positions globally saw ‘Holy Ground’ hit number 2 in the UK, 3 in Switzerland and USA and gained chart positions from Top 5 to 40 in international charts, including Germany, Canada, Sweden, Austria and Spain.

Holy Ground became and continues to be a great milestone for The Dead Daisies.
