BTW:
The journey continues...
At last, the darkness can be lifted—we’re proud to reveal details about our 4th studio album, HANEDA.
HANEDA is the logical continuation of Dawn of the Axe: a mystical and mythical speed metal journey through ancient secrets and lost civilizations. Some curses may be lifted… others will not! Expect nothing but pure, mystical Speed Metal that will leave you in awe. You ain’t seen nothing yet!
Once again, the album was recorded with Marco Brinkmann at Hellforge Studios, Bauer Studios and the Parchment Studios from January to April 2025.
