International power metal band Serious Black have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Tonight I\u2019m Ready To Fight\u2019. Produced by iCODE Team, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Serious Black issued fifth full-length studio album proper Vengeance Is Mine<\/em> on February 25th, 2022 through AFM Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time I allowed insights into my inner and private life like never before, including how I think, how I feel, how I am, and how I can be to keep a band going,\u201d commented bassist Mario Lochert. \u201cThe lyrics on Vengeance Is Mine reflect the past four or five years more broadly. Of course, this had an impact on the songwriting, which has become even more intense and emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vengeance Is Mine<\/em> was produced and mixed by bassist Mario Lochert at his Serious Black Studio in Kirchseeon. Guitars were recorded by Dominik Sebastian at his own studio, and all orchestral arrangements and keyboards were done by Bob Katsionis in Greece. Anna Likunic provided background vocals. <\/p>\n

Vengeance Is Mine<\/em> marks the first Serious Black album to feature frontman Nikola Miji\u0107.<\/p>\n

Mika Jussila was in charge of the first mastering sessions at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, before the recordings were polished by Konst Fischer during a second mastering process. Lochert said: \u201cThis time we really pulled out all the stops to get the optimum result. And I think our efforts have really paid off!\u201d <\/p>\n
