Almanac, the symphonic metallers led by ex-Rage guitarist Victor Smolski, recently announced a November 3rd release date for their sophomore album, Kingslayer. Today, the group must inform their fans that the release date has been pushed back to November 24th.

To bridge this long gap, Almanac have launched the very first album trailer, which gives the viewer some insight into the recording process of Kingslayer. Watch it below. In addition, Almanac have unveiled the tracklisting of the upcoming album, which can be seen below. More info on formats and pre-order details will follow shortly.

Kingslayer was recorded with producer Andreas Herr at HeyDay Studios in Wuppertal, Germany. The cover artwork was once again created by Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák (Accept, Destruction).

"Our second strike is complete," reveals guitar player Victor Smolski and explains, that "Kingslayer is the logical follow-up to Tsar, just more compact, heavier and faster. The experience now under our belts gained from our many live experiences, including the two tours and festivals, has been fully implemented in the studio. The band have grown closer and stronger, you can feel this unified energy within the new tracks. We took a lot of time and gave our very best. Kingslayer is a crafted metal album with a lively power sound!"
