In 2020, EASY RIDER returned stronger than ever. With Javier Villanueva and Dani Castellanos on guitars and José A. Villanueva on bass, the band has been strengthened with two new and important additions. On drums, José Roldán, a seasoned musician well known for his fantastic work in other bands like NOCTURNIA, KABALAH, and PADRE CUERVO.
After 32 years of career with different male singers, for the first time a woman is in charge of leading EASY RIDER with her impressive and powerful voice. Dess Díaz is a singer who has been on stage since she was a child and has been part of the Malagueño group PERVERSION, a Ronnie James DIO tribute band that played songs by BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW, and DIO.
In 2021, EASY RIDER released the compilation album “Metamorphosis” composed of completely re-recorded tracks by the new lineup and belonging to their first three albums “Perfect Creation,” “Lord Of The Storm,” and “Evilution,” publishing the music videos “Evilution” and “Savage Rage” and the lyric videos “Tiempo,” “The New Jerusalem,” “Vampire Prelude,” and “Stranger.”
They will soon release their new album titled “Maniphesto,” for which three lyric videos of the songs “The Deal,” “Maniphesto,” and “Paralysis” have been published so far.
Between 2022 and 2024, EASY RIDER has participated in numerous festivals and played in venues across a large part of the national territory.
