Founder member Brian (1976 - ) and current lead singer Ras (2014 - ) in conversation with Andy Rawll for Record Collector Magazine.
Following the success of 2016's self-titled album, that brilliantly married a harder, more contemporary sound to the adamantine riffs and bedevilled melodies of their early albums, it's time to get on-board their new album 'The Coffin Train', to be released by Silver Lining Music on 24th May 2019. Preorders here: hyperurl.co/TheCoffinTrain
Brian and Ras discuss how the new album came together, including the background to the dark lyrical themes, with song titles like 'Shades of Black', 'Until We Burn' and 'Death By Design'.
With the summer festival season approaching, the band already have a busy live schedule lined-up, including Hellfest on 21/6; Rock & Blues on 25/7 and Stone Deaf on 24/8. Better still, they join fellow heavy metal legends Saxon, Krokus and Girlschool at two very special shows in October: London Hammersmith (Odeon) Apollo on 19/10 and Manchester Apollo on 20/10
'Belly of the Beast' youtube.com/watch?v=BbnmxqdtTV4 is the lead single/video and provides a taste of the album to follow.
'Death by Design' is the next track/video to be released here:
