Smash

with their second

tours as support
to bands like Alter Bridge, Within Temptation, Halestorm, Amaranthe to name a
few. In
2017, the band released their third album, “Rise & Shine”. Their success
continued and international
massive touring increased their worldwide fanbase. With the latest album
release of the
bands fourth album, “EVOLVER”, in October 2018, Smash Into Pieces broke the
500,000 monthly listeners
mark on Spotify and are now streaming close to 250,000 streams per day.
Heading
into 2019, Smash Into Pieces announced that their first single of the year,
“HUMAN”, would be
released on January 25th. Alongside the news of the upcoming single release,
the band also announced
their first ever show in Russia, a Scandinavian headline tour, followed by a
massive North
American theater tour together with the two world-famous rock acts, Within
Temptation and In
Flames.
With
over 60 shows in three different continents in a 6-month period, the band
started recording their
fifth album during the spring & summer of 2019. With new partners attached
to the project, the band
released the brand new singles ARCADIA (Sept) and EGO (Oct) from the up-coming
5th album. With
the new album finally finished in December, and more than 40 confirmed shows in
2020, Smash
Into Pieces announced that they will release the third single ”MAD WORLD” from
the up-coming
new album on January 24th. 24th
January 2020 sees the brand new single release from Smash Into Pieces which is
the 3rd single
to be released off the bands 5th Studio album released March 2020. Mad World is
a cover
song of Tears Of Fears. Mad World follows the success of Arcadia and EGO
were released
towards the end of 2019 which gave us the 1st two installments of game vs reality.
Per
Bergquist: for a while now we have talked about recording a cover but we just
couldn’t
make
up our minds about what song. After listening to our fans in to which song they
would
like
us to record. I remember one girl writing to us about “MAD WORLD”. After
listening to
the lyrics,
letting it sink in, I just couldn’t think of a more perfect track that would
fit better on
the ARCADIA
album than Mad World. Smash
Into Pieces: To be trapped in the pure madness of the ARCADIA world where
you can’t
tell reality from fiction
is enough to make any sane person go mad.
Imagine for a second that you live in
a world
where the dreams in which you are dying are the best you’ve ever had, that a
place where
people run in circles without going nowhere, completely without expressions
and where
they fill their glasses with tears of sorrow would be your reality.. Wouldn’t
you say that that’s
the definition of a very, very MAD WORLD? Mad
World is dedicated in loving memory of Nikita who’s life ended far to
soon.
Smash
Into Pieces - Mad World will be released to all major streaming platforms
24th
January
2020, With
a bright future set for the band and their 5th Album being released March 2020
Smash Into
Pieces with their rock / pop mix show the world they have the stance to set the
bar high amongst
the vast growing music industry keeping up with all the changes
happening.
