It's been three years since we had a new record from Greek thrashers Suicidal Angels.  However, they're ready to release the follow-up to 2016's Division Of Blood.  The new record will be titled Years Of Aggression and will be released on August 9th via NoiseArt Records.  Down below, you can see the full track listing and the cover artwork.  The cover art was once again created by Ed Repka, who has worked with bands such as Megadeth, Death and Municipal Waste.  The album was recorded at Zero Gravity Studios in Athens, Greece, with the drums being recorded at Soundlodge Studios in Papenburg, Germany.  The band self-produced the album, while it was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren.

The band states:  "'Years of Aggression' on this bloody ground, but we are born of hate!  3 years after the release of Division of Blood, extensive touring and numerous festivals, the time has come to return with a new album!  Stronger than ever, we present you the cover artwork of our seventh studio album called Years Of Aggression, created once more from the almighty himself, Mr. Ed Repka.  Stay tuned, stay focused, more and more are yet to come and remember, for those who try to take you down, we were, we are the fire and still burns!!”

It's coming on two years since Trivium released The Sin & The Sentence back in October 2017.  However, the band have recently made a couple of tracks that were recorded during the sessions for that album that weren't released yet, which include the re-recording of the classic "Pillars Of Serpents", and their cover of Type O Negative's "I Don't Wanna Be Me".

In an interview, Matt Heafy revealed that there was another bonus track that was an original song that was written during the same sessions as well called "Drowning In The Sound", and people have wondered if it will be released.  Well, the good news is that the answer has been revealed.

Attention all outlaw gentlemen and shady ladies!  After three long years, Volbeat are ready to unleash their new album, and the first details have been revealed.  Continuing with the tradition of rather odd titles, the new record will be titled Rewind, Replay, Rebound, and will be released on August 2nd.  The cover art can also be seen down below.  This time, instead of an animated cover art, it features a more realistic picture.

Also available is a new song called "Leviathan", which you can watch the music video for down below.  I love that catchy chorus.  Pre-orders are available now, and you can catch Volbeat on tour this summer across North America with Slipknot, Gojira and Behemoth, and then in Europe this fall on a headline run with Baroness and Danko Jones!

A couple of weeks ago, Sabaton premiered the music video for the new song "Bismarck".  However, the song was a stand-alone single, and would not be featured on the new album The Great War.  According to the band, the story about the Bismarck battleship is so great, it wouldn't fit on any album.

Today, the band have premiered the music video for the first official single from the new album "Fields Of Verdun", which you can watch down below.  It's epic, just as you'd expect.

The song talks about the Battle Of Verdun, one of the bloodiest battles of World War I.
