For the past 16 years, guitarist Nili Brosh (Danny Elfman, Dethklok, Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil) has created “memorable illustrative and emotional songs without words.” Most recently, she’s taken part in creating and performing the theme song for Marvel Animation’s 2024 X-Men ’97 Disney+ series.

Now, she announced her fourth studio album, her first in six years, titled Eventide, which is due out March 13, 2026. A video for the album’s first song, “Pastel Dreams,” will be arrive on the day of the album release on Brosh’s official YouTube page.

Nili Brosh explains:

With an ever-present concentration on catchy melodies, I’ve always felt like I’ve had some mild form of synesthesia I wanted publicly shown through my music. This album became an attempt to make the sonic color of the highlight tracks consistent with the aesthetic of the cover art, my new signature Ibanez guitar, and music videos. ‘Pastel Dreams,’ ‘Take You On,’ and the title track, ‘Eventide,’ were especially produced to match the visual aesthetics and color schemes. With this record, I had an even more hands-on approach with the production than ever and going for a retro-modern feel. It really feels like myself especially in those tracks.

Including new re-mixed/re-mastered versions of “Estranged” (previously released in 2020), as well as “Song for Hope” and “Lavender Mountains” (previously released in 2023), the album work that started over the pandemic finally comes full circle along with seven additional new tracks. As with Nili’s previous albums, stylistic diversity continues to be a priority, with “Tip the Cap” and “Every Player Wins” adding new genre explorations.

Brosh brought along some special guests for Eventide, including a solo on “Roulette” by Brendon Small (creator of Metalocalypse and singer/guitarist of Dethklok) and bassist Pete Griffin from Dethklok on “Lavender Mountains,” “Losing Grip,” and “Every Player Wins.” From Danny Elfman’s band: engineer Shachar Boussani mixed five of the songs, Sidney Hopson (percussion) joins Brosh on “Every Player Wins,” and they’re all joined by Irene Kim (keyboards), as well as Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drummer Ilan Rubin (Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails), on “Tip the Cap.”

Rounding out the musicians on the album include Alex Argento (keyboards, synthesizers, mixes), Virgil Donati (drums), Hubert Gall (accordion), Tyreek Jackson (bass, Moog, mixes), Matt Laug (drums), and Nick Semrad (synthesizers).

Having been endorsed by Ibanez Guitars for over a decade and seen playing her LA Custom Shop Ibanez RG770 guitar for performances with Danny Elfman, Dethklok, as well as her solo concerts, now finally comes time for a signature guitar of her own.

Last month at NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants), Brosh officially launched her first-ever signature guitar, “The Answer,” as part of her longstanding partnership with Ibanez Guitars. While the official on sale date is forthcoming, fans can keep an eye on Ibanez’ official website for the release details.

In touring news, in addition to her own on-going performances as part of Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil in her current hometown of Las Vegas, Nili Brosh will head to Europe for a round of headlining shows in Germany, and she’ll be part of the four-day Rock Me Vienna Guitar Camp in Wien, Austria March 29 – April 1 along with fellow guitarists Andy Timmons, Kee Marcello, Justin Hombach, and others.

Later this spring, she’ll be performing with Dethklok as part of their “The Amonklok Conquest” co-headlining tour with Amon Amarth, along with special guests Castle Rat, that kicks off April 15 in Phoenix, AZ at the Arizona Financial Theatre.
