Today, Hells Headbangers Records announces the signing of Japan's Verdalack. The first fruit of this union shall be the band's debut album, Force From the Grave, which should see release in early 2025. In lieu of this announcement, Verdalack reveal the brand-new track "Final Assault," which can be heard HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.
Hailing from Tokyo, Verdalack's roots go back to the preceding band Assault Attack, which included guitarists Vortex and Vandal and vocalist Villain. As Assault Attack, the trio played thrash metal until disbanding in 2018. Under the direction of Vortex, the band restarted in 2022 and changed their moniker to Verdalack and stylistically converted to speed metal. A two-song demo tape was released in 2022, showing that Verdalack were good on their word: new / huge influences ranged from mid '80s speed metal, ancient US power metal, and classic Japanese hardcore-punk. With their expanded lineup consisting of members from Significant Point, Military Shadow, Bafomet, Disgunder, and Another Dimension, it can be said a newborn devil has arisen from incest within the modern Japanese underground metal scene.
Force From the Grave, Verdalack's imminent debut album, will consist of eight songs across a half-hour. The culmination and convergence of the aforementioned influences, the quintet's first full-length will throttle maniacs of Jag Panzer to Japan's Bastard, Exciter to GISM, and Piledriver to Deathside. Classics-minded but exuding an authentically fresh approach, Verdalack are set to take over the underground with violence and force!
About signing with Hells Headbangers, a statement from Villain reads: "It's an honor to join the cult of Hells Headbangers! Be prepared for the fight! Tokyo Speed Metal Forces are on the attack!"
Release date, cover, and artwork for Verdalack's Force From the Grave to be announced shortly.
