CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC is pleased to announce the release of HAMMER KING’s second album “King Is Rising”!
Recorded at POWERWOLF’s “Studio Greywolf” , “King Is Rising” is once more packed with the truest Heavy Metal in this and all possible other worlds – Heavy Metal in the tradition of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest with more than a reference to German Power Metal.

The band consists of former ROSS THE BOSS‘ vocalist Titan Fox, former SALTATIO MORTIS‘ drummer Dolph A. Macallan rounded out by K.K. Basement on bass and Gino Wilde on guitars.
“King Is Rising” contains 12 Metal anthems literally made for live shows – with a nod towards faster paced songs compared to their debut “Kingdom Of The Hammer King”.
The second chapter of the Hammer King’s saga thematically centers about war and revolt, while the King’s battle stories drastically bespeak today’s global crises.
For the album’s artwork, the band decided to set up again a partnership with brilliant German artist Timo Würz and the result speaks for itself: Timo is the kind of artist who guarantees quality in every aspect of his job!

“King Is Rising” will be released on November 11, 2016 through Cruz Del Sur Music on Compact Disc (with 1 bonus track), Vinyl and Digital.

The album will have its release party on November 12, at Cruz Del Sur Music own’s “Burn This Town” Festival in Rome, also featuring Sacred Steel, Rosae Crucis, Battle Ram and Graal.

Stereogum.com has premiered “En Cima Del Mal,” a new track from upcoming SACRAL RAGE  album “Illusions in Infinite Void”. Stream it right here.

“…astonishing riff-centric brilliance of Sacral Rage, a Greek speed metal band that has stumbled upon (or, more likely, slavishly labored to create) an album’s worth of ingenious riffs on its debut, Illusions In Infinite Void. The band owes a stylistic debt to forgotten progressive metal legends Watchtower, but Sacral Rage soundly trump their heroes by writing songs you’ll actually want to revisit. Like Watchtower, the vocals are an acquired taste, but air-raid falsetto screams have never had better musical accompaniment than this. “En Cima Del Mal” shows the band at its catchiest: lead guitars writhe over subtle shifts of rhythm, but the hooks are front and center and the heavy metal thunder is strong. Most importantly, the riffs are godlike: explosive, exploratory, and perfectly crafted…” (stereogum)

“Illusions in Infinite Void”, will be released March 10 in North America and March 21 in Europe.
