Now the secret is finally out of the bag:
We have signed a new contract with RPM-ROAR and can announce our new album 'RESURRECTION'.
Misters Seidel, Wosgien (ROAR) and Vetter can hardly hide their joy:

"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 album, which is set to be released in March 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!

Produced by ex-Primal Fear guitarist Stefan Leibing, BLACK & DAMNED have created a profound, melodic and melancholic heavy metal album with lasting anthems. The first single of the album will kick off on December 18th. 'RESURRECTION' will be released on ROAR (Grave Digger, Mystic Prophecy, Crematory and others), with whom BLACK & DAMNED have signed a new record deal.

"In the fall of 2023, we had the first talks at the Donzdorf office regarding a collaboration with our new label partner. We agreed within the band that it was the label of our choice and that it was time to sign a new contract. We are very happy and confident about the future", states guitarist Michael Vetter on behalf of the band.
"BLACK & DAMNED have literally cast a spell over me since their debut album, because this mixture of melancholic, dark elements and traditional heavy metal is not something you come across very often. At the beginning of the 90s, vocalist Roland Seidel sang with Wasteland, who quickly mutated into an insider tip in our part of the world and whose members later appeared in Primal Fear and Kashmyr, among others. With BLACK & DAMNED, Rolands class shines through even more impressively. In any case, BLACK & DAMNED is almost a southern German all-star band with first-class musicians who previously earned their spurs in acts such as Chinchilla, Pump and Licence. Now, 'RESURRECTION' is their new masterpiece. Mark your calendars for December 18th and look forwart to the band's heaviest song to date, which is chosen as the first single", adds ROAR label manager Markus Wosgien, who is noticeably proud of his new signing."

The last few weeks have been a bit quiet here - in addition to the one or other vacation activity, the final mix of the new longplayer has been given the finishing touches - now everything is absolutely in the box and what can we say? There's something really great coming your way !!!

Last weekend it was also high time to perform once again: on Saturday live at a great gig in Stuttgart and on Sunday in front of the camera at the video shoot for 2 songs from the new album.

And soon we will finally be able to reveal more detailed information about the new album ...

The stage shortly before the performance at the Wolfweez OpenAir - a fantastic festival - awesome ambience, perfect
organization, great guests and even if the weather God wasn't too kind, it was great fun to be there.
Thanks Jochen & Heike for the great photos.

What a brilliant evening - the Metal Mountain Festival last Saturday was a blast, especially as you don't get the chance to share the stage with Vicious Rumors very often - a huge thanks to Gosheim for the mega event. Sascha & Nadine Hintz documented the whole thing impressively - thank you both.
.
In two weeks, the show continues at the Wolfweez OpenAir - we'll definitely push hard again before focusing entirely on finishing the new CD. All recordings are already in the box and only last details regarding the artwork and of course the final mix are outstanding. More information about the new record will be coming very soon.



21.05.2024

And here comes the next bad news, this time due to the miserable weather forecast - the Schädelfest and therefore the gig next Saturday have just been canceled :-(
Already the 4th cancellation in 3 months - bitter - but at least this gives us a bit more time for the current CD production - the finishing line is clearly in sight.
The next live date is now on June 15th at the Metal Mountain Festival - now we are looking forward to that even more - don't miss it!!!



30.04.2024

We have just heard that Michael Bormann's Jaded Hard have canceled the common gig on 17.05. in Waldbronn.
Too bad, then maybe another time ...



14.04.2024

It was a long time overdue - the first gig with our southern neighbours in Switzerland. And it was definitely a lot of fun when we finally got there two weeks ago. A huge thank you to the team and the metalheads in the Met-Bar. We are really looking forward to the sequel.

Not only the recordings for the 3rd CD are at full speed, so are the preparations for new visual presentations:
