U.K. rockers William The Conqueror will deliver their new album Maverick Thinker on March 6.

Announced today, the 10-track album was recorded at Los Angeles’ Sound City Studios right before the coronavirus hit. The accompanying music video for the track, which you can see below, was shot right when everyone was forced to vacate the area. Vocalist Ruarri Joseph said:

"The video is a time capsule of a very strange morning back in March 2020. My friend and filmmaker Luke had just arrived in LA from Sydney to shoot some super 8 of us in the studio, but as soon as he arrived, the studio shut down and we all had to leave. We had a few hours before our new flights, so we headed to Venice Beach thinking it'd be a cool, buzzing place to get some shots and turn some film over.

I guess having been in the studio bubble for the past week, we hadn't had a reference for this 'pandemic' we kept hearing about. Wandering around an empty Venice Beach was a rough landing for sure. Consider the bubble well and truly burst. And full props to Luke for flying from Sydney to LA and back in the space of two days and not complaining once (at least not to us anyway)."

Pre-orders for Maverick Thinker are live here. This is the follow up to William The Conqueror’s 2019 studio album Bleeding on the Soundtrack.
