TANKARD Reveals New Album Details!

TANKARD - unveil new album details! - 2017-01-17

Legendary German alcohol soaked thrash metal act TANKARD are currently working on the follow up to their highly acclaimed 2014 album, »R.I.B.«. The guys entered Gernhart Studios in Troisdorf with producer Martin Buchwalter (DESTRUCTION, ACCUSER, PERZONAL WAR, SUIDAKRA, etc.) earlier this month. Guitars, bass and drums are already done – at the moment, Gerre is lending his voice to the soundtrack for their 35th anniversary!

Vocalist Gerre stated:
“At the moment I have 7 songs ready! It’s a great pleasure to work with Martin for the very first time! He really kicks my ass, so I have a lot of work! So I really look forward to a great result to celebrate our 35th birthday in a reasonable way!
Senile with style!”

Today, the band has unveiled more details on their new album: The record is planned for a 2017 spring/summer release via Nuclear Blast and will be called »One Foot In The Grave«. The cover artwork will once again be created by Patrick Strogulski, who’s a student of Sebastian Krüger, the recent artwork designer of TANKARD.

More info coming soon… stay tuned!

WINTERSUN – reveal track list and concept of  “The Forest Seasons”

Last week, the Finnish kings of epic melodic death, WINTERSUN, unveiled the title of their third studio album »The Forest Seasons« that will see the light of day in 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The new release will be a full-length album of 53 minutes featuring a brand new concept that band leader and mastermind Jari Mäenpää now reveals, together with the complete track list:

WINTERSUN – »The Forest Seasons«

1. Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring) 14:40
Part I The Dark Slumber
Part II The Awakening
2. The Forest That Weeps (Summer) 12:18
3. Eternal Darkness (Autumn) 14:08
Part I Haunting Darkness
Part II The Call of the Dark Dream
Part III Beyond the Infinite Universe
Part IV Death
4. Loneliness (Winter) 12:54

Total running time: 53:20

Yes, you guessed it! This album is our version of Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’, but it hasn’t got anything to do with Vivaldi musically or with classical music. It is 100% original and solid Wintersun material! It is something new and different. Let’s just say it has a bit more darker tone overall… 😉

Next week you will know how we are releasing our new album, so stay tuned for more details! Click those notifications ON in all our Facebook pages, you don’t want to miss the important updates of our new album! (Because of Facebook algorithm reach limit)

BLACK STAR RIDERS – Release New Trailer for  Heavy Fire.

BLACK STAR RIDERS are set to release their forthcoming album »Heavy Fire« on the 3rd of February 2017 via Nuclear Blast. In anticipation of this release, the band have unveiled a fourth video in which Damon Johnson, Ricky Warwick and Scott Gorham discuss how the album’s title track came about.

Damon Johnson comments, “I just remember showing up at the studio when we were actually making the album and there was the original title, ‘The Salvation’. Then one day I looked up at the board and the title had been changed to ‘Heavy Fire’, which was a song we had decided not to make and I’m like, what’s happening?! He [Ricky] says, ‘oh I’ve changed the lyric mate, you’re gonna love it, check it out!'”

Ricky Warwick adds, “The album was always going to be called »Heavy Fire«. I had the title for quite some time and really liked it. I just thought it felt so right with the other records… »All Hell Breaks Loose«, »The Killer Instinct«, »Heavy Fire« – it just sounds great when you say all three together!”
