Well it has been quite a while since we've gotten some new music from Warbringer!  They've went through a bunch of lineup changes in the past 3 years, but after solidifying a solid new lineup this year, the band commenced writing and recording a new album.  Right now the album is finally ready to see the light of days and a few details have been revealed. The album will be titled Woe To The Vanquished and it will be released worldwide on March 31st.  This will be the band's first studio album to be released through Napalm Records and the first featuring bassist Jesse Sanchez and guitarist Chase Becker. Stay tuned for the full track listing and first single to be released soon.  In the meantime, look at that badass album art.

Over the last two and a half years, Iced Earth have gone through quite a bit.  Jon Schaffer had cervical fusion surgery, they were building a new studio, they welcomed new guitarist Jake Dreyer and they've been working on a new record. There's some good news regarding the new record. Originally title The Judas Goat, the record will now be titled Incorruptible, and there's a few song titles already revealed like "Incorruptible", "Clear The Way", "The Great Heathen Army", "Black Flag", "Trail Of Tears", "Raven Wing", "Seven-Headed Whore" and "Brother".

​On January 13th, heavy metal titans ACCEPT will deliver their new live package called Restless And Live. This set will not only include the entire show that ACCEPT played at Bang Your Head!!! Festival 2015 on DVD, but also two live CDs with different recordings from their most recent European tour.

As new appetizer for this metalstorm, the band now presents the video of their track "Pandemic" in its entire length: https://youtu.be/oicmQPsz_Ps

"It was actually never really planned, it sort of just happened", states axemaster Wolf Hoffmann about the band's choice to release this particular performance. "At Bang Your Head!!! they always record their shows so we just thought: "Yeah, let them film it!"". After Andy Sneap praises their stage show as being crucial for the great atmosphere, Wolfcontinues: "Yes, as well as the crowd. We've been there before so it felt familiar to film it and see what happens. Then we got the footage and we thought: "Wow, it's pretty good!""

2017 is looking like it's going to be an awesome year for metal as far as tours and new music go.  Speaking of new music, here's a brand new song from Sepultura.  The track is called "I Am The Enemy" and it comes from their new album Machine Messiah, which will be released on January 13 via Nuclear Blast Records.  The lyric video for the track can be streamed down below.  The song may be short (it's less than three minutes), but it's super violent and thrashy and is basically designed for mosh pits.  The middle of the song in particular will have crowds going mental.  Stream the song down below and be sure to catch Sepultura on tour in North America with Testament and Prong in the spring.

It's been pretty quiet in the German Panzer camp for a while, as all the members were busy with their respective bands/schedules, but the band have broke the silence today. They have announced that there is a sophomore album in the works currently and there has been some changes made to the lineup.  Guitarist Herman Frank is no longer a part of the band due to his solo career and the band now has a double-guitar team with Pontus Norgren of HammerFall and V.O. Pulver of G.U.R.D. and Poltergeist.  There's also a new song available.
