Siege Of Power Reveals New Album Details

Multinational all star death metal Kings Siege Of Power have set February 17, 2023 as the release date for their new full-length "This Is Tomorrow!" For a first preview of the album, a visualizer for the single ’Force Fed Fear‘ can be viewed below.

Siege Of Power consists of Chris Reifert (Autopsy) on vocals, Paul Baayens (Asphyx) on guitars, Theo van Eekelen (ex-Hail Of Bullets) on bass and Bob Bagchus (ex-Asphyx) on drums.

"We still like the debut 'Warning Blast' a lot but after a few years we started talking about doing another album and then we realized we had to be more serious. So we started writing 11 songs – all killers, no fillers!“, comments drummer Bob Bagchus. Most of our inspriation on this album came from old school bands like Venom, Bathory, Slayer and even Black Sabbath. Combined with our own personal style we have for decades, of course."

"This Is Tomorrow" is darker than "Warning Blast" and that's not all. Chris Reifert's vocals are a lot more diverse giving each song it's own identity. It's a straight forward, rough metal album with good, old 80s vibes and reflects the dark times we are living in these days.

The album was recorded at Toneshed studios and mixed/mastered by Erwin Hermsen. The stunning artwork was created by Roberto Toderico. More...

"The song was written as a reflection on hopelessness and uncertainty," guitarist Syd Scarlet explains. "Yearning for resignation, we often find ourselves reaching for closure in a world that seems to endlessly repeat its failures, blinded by the absurdity of religious beliefs and humanity's denial of its own burden."

Kamelot To Release New Album In March

One of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal, Kamelot, are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their most introspective, uplifting, vital release to date - their first full-length in five years - "The Awakening," out 17th March 2023 via Napalm Records. Alongside the announcement Kamelot have gifted fans with the first single from the album - the unforgettably huge, radio-ready anthem "One More Flag in the Ground."

The track proves the band's unwavering skill of balancing rock and metal potency, and explores important lyrical themes of fighting physical or mental disease, illness or strife.

Kamelot vocalist Tommy Karevik offers: "The main focus on this video and song was to have a metaphor for the struggles of fighting disease or illness, whether it being physical or mental. Each step of healing and recovery is another Flag in the Ground. With every little step, one more victory won…"

Having reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as "The Fourth Legacy" (1999), "The Black Halo" (2005), Silverthorn (2012), "Haven" (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed "The Shadow Theory" (#2 US Hard Music Albums), The Awakening enters the Kamelot legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet - mixing symphonic, gothic, melodic, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band's history.
