Metal group Almanac \u2013 spearheaded by guitarist Victor Smolski, formerly of Bochum, Germany-based metal group Rage \u2013 issued second full-length studio album Kingslayer<\/em> on November 24th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Records. A CD \/ DVD Digibook version of the album features a bonus disc which includes live footage filmed during the band\u2019s performance at the Masters Of Rock festival in Vizovice, Czech Republic on July 15th, 2017.<\/p>\n

Victor Smolski commented: \u201cOur second strike is complete. Kingslayer<\/em> is the logical follow-up to Tsar<\/em> [2016], just more compact, heavier and faster. The experience now under our belts gained from our many live experiences, including the two tours and festivals, has been fully implemented in the studio. The band have grown closer and stronger, you can feel this unified energy within the new tracks. We took a lot of time and gave our very best. Kingslayer<\/em> is a crafted metal album with a lively power sound!\u201d<\/p>\n

The outing was recorded at HeyDay Studios in Wuppertal, Germany. <\/p>\n

Cover artwork duties fell to Gyula Havancs\u00e1k.<\/p>\n
