After their spectacular debut in 2023, followed by successful European tours and festival shows, ALL FOR METAL are more than ready to open the next chapter of their journey. Their new album "Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon)" leads the warriors into far eastern lands. The dynamic singer duo presents songs about, dragons, samurais and battle that are accompanied with energetic rhythm and catchy melodies.
"Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon)" the highly anticipated sophomore album from ALL FOR METAL, is set for release on August 23rd, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The subtitle "Year Of The Dragon" honors the Japanese year 2024, celebrated as such. This album sees the band stretching their dragon wings to the skies with thundering instrumental passages and boisterous, hooky choruses.
Vocalist Antonio shares, "We've been working on this release for months and can't wait to start this new adventure in our musical career! Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon) is the album where we'll establish ourselves in the metal world, and this time we'll rock you harder than our previous album!"
United by their love for classic heavy metal, Tetzel and Antonio have joined forces to create ALL FOR METAL. "We grew up with bands like MANOWAR, where the audience is overwhelmed by the energy," says Tetzel. "That's where strangers are in each other's arms and fervently belting out the songs. This invisible bond, this connection, is created through the music alone." Antonio adds: "I've only experienced such a sense of community in the metal scene. With ALL FOR METAL, we want to help pass this on and let as many music fans as possible share in it."
To complete the line-up, the dynamic and talented Jassy adds a powerful guitar force. Jassy's presence plays a crucial role in defining the band's unique sound and stage presence, making ALL FOR METAL a formidable and distinctive force in the metal world.
Expanding upon the success of their debut album, "Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon)" embarks on an ambitious sonic and thematic journey. This second album transports listeners to the enigmatic and culturally rich land of the rising sun, a place steeped in ancient traditions and legendary tales. With a profound fascination for Japanese myths and legends, the band masterfully weaves these narratives into their music, creating a unique and immersive listening experience. The dragon, a revered and iconic figure in Asian culture, becomes a central motif, representing both the band's musical evolution and the epic scope of their storytelling. Each song delves into different aspects of these myths, from the fierce battles of legendary warriors to the serene beauty of mythical landscapes.
