Poland's J.D. OVERDRIVE released their sophomore studio album, Fortune Favors The Brave, on May 24th in Europe via Metal Mind Productions. The album is out on July 2nd in North America, via MVD. Another video promoting the album, 'Shadow Of The Beast' is now available.

Vocalist Wojtek ‘Susel’ Kaluza, vocals comments: "This kind of concept suits ‘Shadow Of The Beast’ very well - it's a slow, rather dark song and old school horror flicks are a perfect theme for a video for a track like this. A similar concept was used not long ago by DEFTONES, except their theme was old western movies. We knew from the get go that horror films was the only option for us - the older and campier, the better (laughs). We had lots of fun gathering the material for this video, got to watch many forgotten classics (laughs)."

The mixing and mastering duties for the Fortune Favors The Brave album was held by Piotr Gruenpeter, who's best known for providing electronics, noise and production quality for the post-black phenomenon THAW, as well as from bands SEARCHING FOR CALM and SUN FOR MIILES.

Wojtek ‘Susel’ Kaluza, the band’s vocalist comments: “First results are simply amazing and we can't wait to show you the final album. It's gonna be heavy, raw and crushing!”
