Los Angeles, CA (Tuesday, September 12th) \u2013 <\/strong>After gaining notoriety internationally touring with renowned tribute band  The Iron Maidens<\/a> and original newcomers  Heaven Below<\/a>, female rocker from Dallas, Texas Nikki Stringfield is set to release her first full-length album featuring her solo work. Described best by Nikki herself, \u201cApocrypha\u201d is \u201chard rock with touches of metal\u201d featuring varied harmonies, catchy hooks and riffs, and vocals that introduce something entirely new for Stringfield. While most know her as just a pure guitarist, this new album has allowed her to showcase not just her instrumental skills, but her writing and singing skills as well, as she is the frontwoman and vocalist on this new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost people know me as the guitarist for The Iron Maidens, a well-known all-female tribute to Iron Maiden. I\u2019ve been known as a shred\/lead guitarist for bands up until this point.\u201d – Nikki Stringfield<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With influences ranging all the way from Nirvana, Avenged Sevenfold, Evanescence, Pantera, to System of a Down, Nikki\u2019s sound is a unique combination of brooding metal with upbeat, anthemic nature. Of the twelve songs in the new album, each contains a new layer to the record, some slower and dark, while some energetic and fast-paced. As a whole, the album combines many different influences (including an unexpected cover of Seal\u2019s \u201cKiss from a Rose\u201d) to convey Nikki\u2019s true, authentic, and eclectic artistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNikki is one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking musicians I\u2019ve had the opportunity to collaborate with.\u201d – Patrick Kennison: producer, guitar and backing vocals<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working hard on Apocrypha for years now, and words can\u2019t express how ecstatic I am to finally share it with the world. The writing process started during the pandemic when the future was unknown, especially for the music world, and I had a lot of time to really focus and pour my heart into these songs. This album truly represents me as an artist in every way.\u201d  – Nikki Stringfield<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikki will be releasing a killer music video for  \u201cWhere The Demons Lie\u201d and a single release on September 21. Nikki shares, \u201cWhere The Demons Lie\u201d actually started out as our least favorite, but after we finished the vocals it became the choice for the first single. I love horror movies, so a lot of that comes across in my lyrics with a touch of creepiness in the music. Patrick and I are both huge \u201cAlice in Chains\u201d fans, so that had a lot of influence on the haunting backing vocals\/harmonies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApocrypha\u201d will be out on Friday September 29th with a release show at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach on September 28th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album can be pre-saved today on Apple Music<\/a> and on Spotify<\/a> today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
