DESERTA ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM “HARD TIMES AHEAD” – OUT FEBRUARY 27, 2026 🔥🎸
Brazilian hard rock warriors DESERTA are back with their second full-length album “Hard Times Ahead,” out February 27, 2026 via Lions Pride Music. Following their acclaimed 2023 debut "Don’t Dare Stop", the band raises the stakes with bigger hooks, heavier riffs, and unstoppable energy.
Packed with soaring anthems and bone-crushing guitars, "Hard Times Ahead" stays true to DESERTA’s 80s-inspired hard rock spirit while pushing their sound further than ever. The album was recorded at Bat Caverna Studios in Joinville, Brazil, produced, mixed, and mastered by Ed Omar Carabantes, with Chris Siloma as co-producer and executive producer. Additional guitar firepower comes from Guilherme Santana.
With cover art by Lucca Diniz and layout by Chris Siloma, "Hard Times Ahead" is a loud, proud statement that Deserta are ready for the global stage.
