On July 14, 2023, German thrash metal titans VENDETTA will return to the scene with their sixth studio album, “Black As Coal”, through Massacre Records. It’s the band’s first offering in six long years. The five-piece has unleashed a new video clip for their album title track, which can be watched below.
As the previously-released, first album single “Stranglehold Of Terror” proved, “Black As Coal” sees the band stronger and heavier than ever, and without question, they are about to deliver their best album to date. Having released their first two records in the late 80’s, VENDETTA‘s style is deeply rooted in thrash and speed metal. With the addition of guitarist Jan Hüttinger and drummer Domi Bertelt, new blood joined VENDETTA a few years ago and the band started working on their upcoming, new album, that was recorded during the pandemic.
VENDETTA singer Mario Vogel states about the title track single: “This song is about the ills of society: money is used for nonsense and not for important things; videos are taken when someone is beaten, hurt or killed, etc.”
“Black As Coal” was mixed by Dominik Bertelt and VENDETTA at Caffeine Recording, and was mastered by Michael Simon at Rocket Science Audio Studio. The cover artwork was designed by Pablo Klose. Slated for a release as jewel case CD, Ltd. vinyl LP and digital formats on July 14, 2023 through Massacre Records, the album pre-sale is available at THIS LOCATION.
VENDETTA is:
- Mario Vogel / Vocals
- Michael “Opf” Opfermann / Lead guitar
