Description:
From the early days on, VENDETTA's musical style is rooted in thrash and speed metal, and their first two studio albums, released in the late 80's, prove it. VENDETTA's former vocalist/guitarist Achim "Daxx" Hömerlein wrote the songs on the new album along with the band's bassist/guitarist Klaus Ullrich and wrote the lyrics along with the band's vocalist Mario Vogel. The band now presents "Black As Coal", their best album so far! -
"Black As Coal" is a powerful CD release by the metal band Vendetta, delivered in collaboration with the renowned label Massacre. On this album, Vendetta present a hard-hitting fusion of classic metal roots and modern, razor-sharp riffing, packed with driving rhythms, aggressive yet melodic guitar work and dark, socially aware lyrics. The songs move between high-energy thrash passages and more groove-oriented mid-tempo sections, creating a dynamic listening experience that is both intense and memorable. With tight arrangements and a strong sense for hooks, "Black As Coal" is tailored for fans who appreciate sophisticated songwriting without sacrificing heaviness.
Lyrically and atmospherically, the album lives up to its title: "Black As Coal" explores themes such as inner conflict, social tensions and the darker shades of human experience. The production focuses on clarity and punch, allowing each instrument to stand out while preserving the raw force of Vendetta's sound. From sharp riff attacks and precise drumming to powerful vocals, the CD offers a cohesive and impactful metal statement that invites repeated listening. Whether enjoyed on a high-volume sound system or through headphones, the record unfolds a dense and energetic sonic landscape.
Vendetta have long been appreciated in the metal underground for their consistency and dedication to the genre. With "Black As Coal", they underline their status as a band that combines experience and authenticity with fresh creative drive. Their previous work has earned them a loyal fan base and recognition on the international metal scene, and this CD continues that trajectory, positioning the band once again as a reliable force for no-compromise metal.
The release appears under the banner of Massacre, a label known in the rock and metal world for supporting stylistically strong and artistically independent bands. Over the years, Massacre has built a solid reputation for spotting promising acts, nurturing long-term careers and giving heavy music a professional home. With careful curation and a clear focus on the needs of metal listeners, the label stands for high production standards, genre credibility and a catalogue that appeals to fans of both established names and exciting newer acts. "Black As Coal" fits seamlessly into this profile and benefits from Massacre's experience in presenting and distributing metal releases worldwide.
