Bay Area thrashers IMAGIKA's new CD Portrait Of A Hanged Man is streaming now in its entirety at this location.

Metalville will release the CD on March 19th in Europe and May 11 in North America.

The first run will be a special digipak with the bonus track 'Shadow Of The Cross'.

Vocalist Norman Skinner comments on the new material: "Imagika never wants to make the same record twice and I feel we have created another stand out album we can be proud of. This new album is more thrashy, raw, and in your face than its predecessor. We decided this time around to do away with some of the dynamics and keep things much more in the pocket with more concise arrangements and bigger hooks. With Portrait Of A Hanged Man” the fans can expect catchy, fast paced, heavy hitting songs.”

Guitarist and Bay Area metal veteran Robert Kolowitz was recently added to the Imagika line-up. A current member of Bay Area stalwarts HELLHOUND and former member of BLACKSTORM and RAPIDFIRE, Kolowitz brings years of experience and perseverance to the second guitar slot.
