Prepare for the rise of darkness – Black & Damned are ready to set the metal community ablaze!
With their unique blend of epic power metal and dark, atmospheric sounds, the South German formation is now releasing their third studio album, which is set to be released on March 14th, 2025, under the auspicious title “Resurrection”.
On it, the band captivates with thunderous guitar riffs, intense rhythms and gripping vocals that whisk you away into a world full of myths and inner conflicts. Their music is a storm of power and emotion, perfect for anyone who wants to experience the ultimate metal rush!
“Resurrection” will be released on ROAR (Grave Digger, Mystic Prophecy, Crematory and others), with whom Black & Damned have just recently signed a new record deal.
A music video for the band’s first single release, the captivating track “Ruthless Wrath”, is now premiering below!
“The content addresses the current situation of humanity”, the band comments. “That people react more and more with anger to events and statements. And this anger is then responded to with anger from the other side. Until one side escalates with volatile anger”!
In the four years since their much-acclaimed debut, Black & Damned have made a first-class name for themselves, sharing the stage with Vicious Rumors, Rage and Tankard, among others, and earning great reviews in the local magazines. “Black & Damned manage the balancing act between heaven and hell with flying colors”, attests Metal Hammer, while Breakout Magazine indulges: ”best stuff for all
power metallers with heart”.
It is now clear that the band from the Stuttgart area can be described as a real enrichment of the heavy metal world and so they took no prisoners, used the energy of past live shows and composed ten new neckbreakers, which they recorded in the fall of 2024 under the aegis of ex-Primal Fear guitarist Stefan Leibing. Once again, this gripping melancholy hovers over the entire work, which is incredibly captivating and addictive. Black & Damned have grown together as a unit and with “Resurrection” the band created a profound, melodic and melancholic heavy metal album with lasting anthems!
