HAMMER KING Releases Energetic ‘Locust Plague’ Video

Enrico

German traditional metal heroes HAMMER KING have issued the video for “Locust Plague”, which comes from their 2018 studio album, “Poseidon Will Carry Us Home”. The video — shot in the band’s natural live element in front of their loyal, headbanging fans — was edited by Christian Palm.

The decisioning behind the “Locust Plague” video was simple for HAMMER KING. In an album filled with triumphant, sterling anthems, “Locust Plague”, in its barn-burning glory, has become an instant live favourite.

“We just recently moved the song up to third in the setlist,” says guitarist/vocalist Titan Fox. “We also love the song because it captures the weekend we spent in Rome playing Cruz Del Sur Music’s ‘Burn This Town’ festival with ROSAE CRUCIS and SACRED STEEL — it’s all there in the lyrics. I’ve always liked songs that told a true story, sort of like SAXON’s ‘And The Bands Played On’. Gladly, the King gave us a song to remember the festival forever.”

“The Poseidon Will Carry Us Home” album cycle has surpassed expectations for HAMMER KING. In addition to critical and journalistic acclaim, the band has expanded its reach in the continental metal scene, something the King is very pleased about, according to Fox. The immediate future will find HAMMER KING playing a handful of important live dates, with other more “pleasurable” happenings taking place as well.

“HAMMER KING will certainly spend some days refuelling at the nudist beach of Saint Tropez Kingdom,” says Fox. “You know, beautiful naked women to our left, beautiful naked women to our right. But we will keep playing shows as well. A benefit festival with TANKARD is next, we will play a very small metal cruise on a river in the French-German borderland, then there is a festival with GRAVE DIGGER and GIRLSCHOOL.

“At the same time, we are already working on songs for our fourth album. Around 20 ideas are floating, but not all will be on the album. We have started early this time, so there is plenty of time to pick only the best of the best of the King‘s songs for the next album.”

ROSAE CRUCIS started working on the new songs for their next album that will be out on Cruz Del Sur Music.
Named after an ancient, esoteric order, this band from Rome is well known to Italian metalheads.
ROSAE CRUCIS  in fact have been active since 1989 and always followed their own artistic path, playing epic heavy metal during the 90s, a decade plagued by fashions, composing a very personal style of music and, last but not least, singing in Italian language.

Courage and coherence usually pay off: throughout the years ROSAE CRUCIS have been constantly improving their song writing. They gained a wide fan base, also thanks to their outstanding live performances. And kept the flame of Heavy Metal burning in Italy, a country usually pretty cold towards this style of music.

 

ROSAE CRUCIS FIRMANO PER CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC

I ROSAE CRUCIS hanno cominciato a lavorare ai brani del loro prossimo album che uscirà per Cruz del Sur Music.

Questo gruppo romano che porta il nome di un antico ordine esoterico è ben noto ai metallari italiani.

I ROSAE CRUCIS infatti sono attivi dal 1989 e hanno sempre seguito il loro percorso artistico, attraverso scelte anche difficili quali suonare heavy metal epico durante gli anni 90, un decennio piagato da mode mediocri e passeggere, comporre brani estremamente personali e fuori dai cliché  e, non ultimo, cantare in lingua italiana.

ll coraggio e la coerenza in genere pagano: durante gli anni i ROSAE CRUCIS hanno costantemente migliorato le loro composizioni. Hanno guadagnato un’ampia base di fan fedeli, anche grazie a tantissimi concerti di ottimo livello. E hanno mantenuto accesa la fiamma dell’Heavy Metal in Italia, un paese generalmente freddo verso questo genere di musica.

Siamo felici ed emozionati di poter contribuire a dare ai ROSAE CRUCIS la visibilità che meritano! A breve ulteriori dettagli…

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.
