BLACK KNIGHT
Road To Victory
Release date: Friday, June 26th 2020
Airplay Date: Tuesday, May 12th 2020
BLACK KNIGHT reach for the stars
again. The formation from Amsterdam, founded in 1981, starts its big
comeback this year. After two demos in the 1980s and early 1990s, the
classic debut ´Tales From The Darkside´ (1999) and its successor ´The
Beast Inside´ (2007) concluded a glorious band phase. Now the only
remaining original member, drummer Rudo Plooy, has returned with a new
team and a new long player named "Road To Victory". Guitarist Gert Jan
Vis (3RD MACHINE) was already involved in the nineties and bassist Ron
Heikens (PROFOUND) has been with the band for a number of year too.
Guitarist Ruben Raadschelders and Singer David Marcelis (LORD VOLTURE,
THORIUM), on the other hand, joined more recently in 2017.
And what did BLACK KNIGHT produce in
the studio? Their third full-length is rigged with classic heavy metal.
Stunning twin guitars that express the the eighties' flair in melodic
runs and a singer who moves powerfully in medium and high pitches. “Road
To Victory” sounds so stylish as if the last three decades haven't
existed at all!
"Road To Victory" will be released via
PURE STEEL RECORDS. The album was recorded and mixed by Gertjan Vis at
Captain Hook Studio and The Flying Fish Studios in the Netherlands. The
album was mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Denmark. Cover
artwork by Mai Isualart and band photography by Cindy van Stralendorff.
