Melbourne’s own hard rock favourites **Ablaze** have just dropped their long-anticipated second album ***Sink Ya Teeth In,*** and they’re all fired up and ready to tear through the UK and Europe later this month.

The follow-up to their debut album ‘*No Chaser,*’ and the first release to vinyl, this eight-track belter is ‘all killer, no filler’, with multiple singles already earning rave reviews and consistent international attention.

Packed with rocking bangers like their latest single *[Next Train Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RykcblMlRcg)*, the heavy and thematic *Siren’s Call*, and the sleazy grooves of *[Menace for the Medicine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IEy3ppR3dY)*, ‘*Sink Ya Teeth In’* is a fast, furious, and finely-tuned ride.  
  
From the moment the match strikes in opener *[Gasoline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H8Eg96RoyU)* to the anthemic, gospel-epic finale that is *End of the Day*, the album delivers the full Ablaze experience capturing their wild, high-octane energy while showcasing a razor sharp, refined songwriting edge.

Renowned for their explosive live shows, Ablaze will launch the album at a massive hometown gig at **The Leadbeater Hotel in Melbourne on Saturday August 9**, before heading overseas for a **month-long UK and European tour **kicking off on the 28th August. The international run sees them lighting up festival stages and rock venues across Belgium, France, the UK, and Germany, before returning home for a string of shows around Australia.

Ablaze are tearing into the second half of 2025 like only they can, with big riffs, bigger beers, sweat, swagger, and zero apologies. ‘***Sink Ya Teeth In’*** is out now. Turn it up, raise a glass, and hold on tight.
