ChRocktikal's Wonseok Teases New Album In Livestream

Last week, South Korean hard rockers ChRocktikal announced their first-ever European tour, and while they're certainly keeping busy, a recent livestream by guitarist Lee Wonseok has shed some light on when new music from the band is coming.

An X (formerly Twitter) account known as ChRocktikal Updates offered up some translated highlights from the stream, which included talk of a new album coming out soon, likely before their appearance at Sound Planer Festival on September 6th. Wonseok also notes that the sound for this album, which will serve as the follow-up to their debut We break, you awake, will be more of a summery, brighter vibe, whereas tracks like "PEACE" on their first album had a grittier energy to them.

The bullet points taken by ChRocktikal Updates read as follows:

• The album will be out probably before Sound Planet Festival (September 6)
• It's not a full length album this time
• The album will probably be refreshing and have summer vibes
• His go-to guitar for this album has a refreshing sound, he didn't really use the heavy sounding ones

• He wants memory box to be released (this was said with a spoiling tone 👀)
• He has My Chemical Romance concert tickets (November)
• Gwanwoo and him are thinking of getting new hair colors
• He has 11 guitars and the most expensive one is the one he bought during the tour in United States
• He learned to play the guitar when he was on elementary school, around sixth grade

The dates for the band's European tour are as follows:

09/09 Berlin, DE @ Columbia Theater
09/11 Cologne, DE @ Luxor
09/15 Strasbourg, FR @ Maison Bleue
09/17 Amsterdam, NL @ P60
