Holy Moses Announces Final Album And Tour Dates
2023 will mark the final chapter in the long history of Germany’s legendary Thrash Metal act Holy Moses, celebrated with the bands upcoming new studio album "Invisible Queen" and a last run of live shows. “I joined Holy Moses in December 1981 and that profoundly changed the path I was meant to take in life. Our first album in 1986 was called 'Queen Of Siam' and now to round things off, my final album with Holy Moses in 2023 will carry the title 'Invisible Queen'," reveals vocalist Sabina Classen and adds: "After 42 eventful years and after so many awesome albums, fantastic shows and incredible experiences, the time to write the last chapter of Holy Moses has arrived. And we are pleased to see this happen via Fireflash Records with the release of our 12th studio album 'Invisible Queen.'"
Holy Moses are a household name within the international metal scene. Their multi-faceted thrash metal, front-woman Sabina Classen’s charismatic voice and their unique mix of traditional attitude and experimental evolvement have been instrumental in establishing the band as a well-known and reliable entity since the beginning of their career in the early 1980’s. With classics like "Finished With The Dogs" (1987), "The New Machine Of Liechtenstein" (1989), "World Chaos" (1990) or "Terminal Terror" (1991), Holy Moses wrote metal history.
“Throughout the year 2023 we will be busy promoting "Invisible Queen" and playing a last run of shows with full intensity. We look forward to seeing you join the ride”, comments Sabina Classen, who just finished the recordings of their upcoming and final studio record. "Invisible Queen" is set to be released on April, 14th 2023 via Fireflash Records and distributed worldwide by Warner/ADA.
"Holy Moses have never released standard thrash songs, and we never will," Sabina Classen explains with some pride. "We write songs which we like ourselves and don’t compromise in terms of trends and concessions to wrong expectations. We don’t have to please everybody, we’re our own brand, we have our own sound, which includes the occasional odd beat, technically demanding passages and unusual chord structures as well as interesting lyrics which deal with the dark side of people and their minds."

Nova Spei Posts New Music Video Online
Trois-Rivieres, QC's Nova Spei released their second album “Sequentis” in November 2021 via Quebec label Bam&Co-Heavy. The record has many messages, and their latest music video "La Proie", translated to English, means The Prey and is a song that denounces and sensitizes in a clear and straightforward way that violence against women will not be tolerated.
The band comments:
"La Proie is the final chapter of a trilogy started by the song “Assez” and followed by “Sorcière”. This video talks about domestic violence against women who, too often, try to save a bad person who, in the end, does not want to change. The synopsis of this music video is Mr. Green is back home and turns against his wife who, after all these years, has tried everything to make him a better man."
In addition to releasing the music video, Nova Spei has teamed up with the Trois-Rivieres, QC women's shelter Maison Le Far and looking to raise $3000 in funds between November 2nd to the 25th to help the organization that aids women and children in the region who need a place to take refuge in the event of abuse and physical violence.
The final amount raised will be announced on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. More...
