ROXXCALIBUR „Fight For Your Freedom“ single out now!
Today ROXXCALIBUR return with the song „Fight For Your Freedom“ from their upcoming album „NWOBHM From The Vaults“! This fivepiece represents a hell way more than just being a keen tribute band playing historic tunes and keeping up the spirit of an era alive and kickin’. These guys again and again dig out lost NWOBHM pearls, awarding them a fully deserved second chance.
Holger from ROXXCALIBUR comments: „‘Fight For Your Freedom’ by ENERGY was one of Limb’s suggestions for the album. Another band with probably just a few unknown singles and which is not even listed in the Metal Archives. I couldn’t get the song out of my head after hearing it for the first time, so it was my joker for the album in case it failed the voting with the other songs. Everyone was allowed to nominate a song that they absolutely wanted to have on the album and that’s how it turned out.
I think the way the song builds up to such a speedy masterpiece after this quiet, somewhat melancholy beginning is very cool for 1983. This melody in particular is so great that I gave it a boost with double bass at the end when I heard the song… I especially like the fast songs anyway.“
„NWOBHM From The Vaults“ will be unleashed via Limb Music on May 9th, 2025.

“NWOBHM From The Vaults” sounds as natural as a recording session being cut in the womb of a living room. Conducted by guitarist Kalli Coldsmith as producer, the songs do sound authentically organic, thankfully lacking modern elements or any artificial “retro” atmosphere.
Icing on the cake is one more stunning cover artwork by Rodney Matthews.The renowned artist not only illustrated many records of rock icons during the seventies but also coined the sleeves of NWOBHM household names with Diamond Head, Praying Mantis and Tygers Of Pan Tang among them.
“NWOBHM From The Vaults” contains a booklet with liner notes by Neudi.

Ancient Bards‘ new single „MINISTERS OF LIGHT“ is now available on all streaming platforms! Let yourself be swept away by its most cinematic sound yet!
Sara: „This is probably the most intense track we’ve ever done, and it has quickly become one of my favourites. It stands out because it’s different, but even more so because I believe it’s a truly powerful anthem. In the saga, this is Eirene rallying the good Aeons, but beyond that world, Ministers of Light is a reminder that your fire cannot be extinguished by those who don’t understand it.“
