Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome Berlin’s Space Chaser to its worldwide roster!

Space Chaser is pure 80s thrash metal - a fast, ripping and in-your-face old school attack. Since their formation in 2011, they’ve released two full-lengths (2014’s “Watch the Skies!” and 2016’s “Dead Sun Rising”), in addition to numerous EPs and singles - including 2018’s split record with Dutch powerhouse Distillator!

New Zealand’s speed metal overlords Stälker are returning with yet another lesson in raw and in-your-face heavy metal, breathing the spirit and danger of the glorious 80s.

Following 2019’s globally acclaimed “Powermad” EP, the band’s impatiently awaited second full-length album, “Black Majik Terror”, will be released on October 30th, 2020, via Napalm Records.

In these difficult Covid-19 times, German thrash metal band Tankard are hell-bent on restoring a bit of normality - today they’ve announced a very special concert experience for their fans.

The upcoming show will take place on Saturday 24th October at the Groove Bar & Lounge in Cologne (Germany), and will also be filmed by six cameras and streamed live for any fans who can’t attend in person.

Norwegian thrash metal combo Under The Oak present themselves and announce their debut album “Ripped up by the Roots” (release date TBA):

The band stated:

Progressive Thrash/Speed metal overlords Evil Invaders will return to European stages in 2021!

Energetic live shows, filled with menacing riffs, strong vocals and propelling drums will bewitch the listener and have them banging their heads in absolutely no time.
