HELLSPIKE "Lords of War" details and pre-order.
The debut album of the speed/thrashers from Portugal HELLSPIKE "Lords of War" will be out on October 31st, together with the new albums of IGNITOR, CHAINBREÄKER, LEGIONEM and VOMIT DIVISION. These guys have cut their teeth on metal, having been part of the Lisbon underground scene for many years (among other bands, the vocalist/bassist and the guitarist played together in RAVENSIRE), and it definitely shows. As the Lords of War lay claim and lay waste to a diseased planet, HELLSPIKE proclaim that real Metal will not go down without fighting. They pay homage to the old speed/thrash masters, but score high on originality with their dark terrorizing riffs, tasteful solos and creative arpeggios. Not to be missed if you're a fan of NECRONOMICON, DESTRUCTION, LIVING DEATH, VIOLENT FORCE, IRON ANGEL, early RUNNING WILD and GRAVE DIGGER, the Teutonic WARRANT and TYRANT, M.A.R.S. and SABBAT (UK)!
You can listen to two new songs on our YouTube channel ("Storm of Fear" here and "Stellar Victory" here). The third one, "House of Asterion" is available for streaming from the Bandcamp player on the HELLSPIKE page. Here's the complete album track list:
2. Storm of Fear
3. House of Asterion
4. Full Spectrum Dominance
5. Fallen Empire
6. Lords of War
7. Iron Forces United
8. Stellar Victory

You can find more info about "Lords of War" and see the high-res cover on the page of this release.
The CD pre-order is set until Monday, October 26th, 11:00 PM Central European Time (UTC+1) on our SHOP page. Like in the past, we made it available in a convenient bundle with the other new releases (in this case with other four, saving 12,00 Euro). You can add to it the new compilation CD "Compendium of Metal Vol. 13" too. We have set and will keep the German shipping rates in the shop for the next seven days. Thanks to this, you can buy many more items for the same low shipping cost, which is particularly convenient for orders from outside of Europe and from Germany, and have them shipped as priority mail. Only orders from Italy and Australia will be shipped from Italy (as goods shipment to Australia is still not possible from Germany due to the pandemic-related transport problems).
If you don't collect CDs, the album can be pre-ordered also as digital download (in lossless formats) from our Bandcamp page. Later on, it will be distributed digitally by CD Baby and made available from iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Music, Spotify and other retailers and services.
