Skull & Crossbones To Release New Album "Time" In November; Releases New Single "Labyrinth Of Time"

German heavy power metal force Skull & Crossbones are set to return this autumn with their new studio album "Time," to be released on November 14, 2025 via Massacre Records. The follow-up to their debut marks a strong step forward in both songwriting and production, delivering powerful, melodic, and timeless heavy metal that blends energy with emotion.

After the soaring first single "Echoes Of Eternity," the band now unleash their brand-new single and video "Labyrinth Of Time." Musically dark and dramatic, the track is accompanied by a poignant statement from the band, describing it as a reflection on “human decay due to dementia.” Heavy riffs and haunting melodies create a song that is both tragic and cathartic, capturing the inevitability of decline through a deeply emotional lens.

"Time" was produced by Skull & Crossbones together with Marc Ayerle, who also handled mixing and mastering at KlangMAnufaktur. Cover artwork was created by Michael Vetter, while additional keyboard arrangements on "Thunderstorm" and "The Ocean’s Call" were provided by vocalist Tobias Hübner.

The record is a journey through powerful riffs, anthemic choruses, and lyrical depth – ranging from the mystical ("Eye Of Wisdom") and the dramatic ("The Price") to the thunderous and uplifting ("Thunderstorm") and even playful, with the pirate-inspired closer ("The Ocean’s Call.")

With "Time," Skull & Crossbones deliver their most mature and focused work to date. Lyrically, the album reflects on the fleeting nature of existence – from stolen hours (“Time Thief”) and human decay (“Labyrinth Of Time”) to rebirth and transcendence (“Eye Of Wisdom”). Musically, the band balance classic heavy/power metal with a modern edge, crafting songs which are as anthemic as they are thought-provoking.
