Legend status rockers Living Colour have announced their new album Shade, due out on via Megaforce Records on September 8. You can see the artwork below.

Guitarist Vernon Reid commented:

“Shade’ is the sound of a band coming to terms with its shadows and light. From the blue pulpit of Robert Johnson to the mean red streets of Brooklyn to the golden lure of Hollywood, ‘Shade’ is the next chapter of a unique American journey.”

Shade was recorded by producer Andre Betts, and mixed by Ron Saint Germain and is the follow-up to 2009’s The Doorway.
