Jared James Nichols has announced his return to the UK for a special album release party at The Lexington, London on June 6th. He’ll be joined by special guests The Karma Effect and tickets for the intimate show will go on sale Friday Feb 27th to all fans who have pre-ordered the new album Louder Than Fate, before going on general sale Monday March 2nd. You can pre-order the album here.
Nichols says, “London, we are back! An album release show at The Lexington just feels perfect. London has shaped so much of my journey and heartbeat, to share this record and play it live feels like coming home. We are gonna bring it all with us…high energy, new songs, & Louder Than Fate.”
Coming out June 5th via Frontiers Music Srl, Louder Than Fate is Nichols’ fourth album and really shines a light on his songwriting skills and is his most powerful and fully realised statement to date. “What’s cool with this record is this is the first time I ever took my time as a songwriter and we did not rush any aspect of it, working with people who have their eye on the prize of the song,” Nichols says. “It’s a totally different vibe.
Perhaps not coincidentally, since several songs were recorded at the Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 in Los Angeles, Nichols went for more of a classic guitar rock feel, intertwined with jagged, evergreen choruses. “Every record has another shade, it’s been like cutting a little deeper into the fruit,” Nichols adds. “It’s like I know there’s more down there and I’m just trying to reach for it.”
Louder Than Fate is still filled with razor sharp riffs whilst seamlessly balancing muscle and melody, combining his guitar playing prowess with emotionally charged vocals. The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing Nichols’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge.
The album was produced and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Amon Amarth, Skindred, and Steel Panther) with additional production by Roger Alan Nichols (Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and Hayley Williams of Paramore) and following the release of ‘Ghost’ last year, which was co-written with Tyler Bryant, the album’s latest single ‘Pretend’ is out now.
Now a decade into a career that’s taken him millions of miles around the planet and made him a peer and jamming buddy of guitar gods like Zakk Wylde, Slash and Joe Perry, Nichols is one of only a select few artists to represent Gibson Guitars as a global ambassador.
Since his breakout debut, Jared James Nichols has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying guitarists and performers of his generation. Known for his unmistakable tone, fearless playing style, and commanding stage presence, he has toured extensively across the US and Europe, sharing stages with some of the biggest names in rock and earning praise from fans and critics alike.
Louder Than Fate is not just an album — it’s a declaration. A record that speaks to resilience, conviction, and the unstoppable force of an artist who plays every note as if it truly matters. Loud, honest, and deeply human, this is Jared James Nichols at his absolute best.
