SCANNER Re-Sign With Massacre Records; The Judgement Album Due In January
September 30, 2014, 10 years ago
Gelsenkirchen, Germany-based power/speed metal act, Scanner, have re-signed to Massacre Records, and will release their new album, The Judgement, in January.
Scanner aren't strangers in the metal scene, since they have been around since the mid-80's. They had a few bumps in the road on their journey so far, but that didn't stop them from doing their thing. Scanner always existed, even when there were false rumors circulating regarding the band's status.
Scanner can look back on an impressive live history, including numerous live gigs worldwide, European tours and appearances at festivals, such as Germany's Wacken Open Air. From 1988 'til 2002, Scanner released five albums, and now - almost 13 years after the release of their latest album Scantropolis - the band is back with a new record!
The band's brand new album is entitled The Judgement. The cover art was created by Anestis Goudas.
The idea behind the album is that the Scanner has returned to earth to see what religion has done to mankind. He also asks himself how a society would evolve if there wouldn't be any religion at all. Would it be possible to live in peace?
The new album promises to feature true and uncompromising power speed metal. There will be catchy songs like the album's title track, but also songs that will have you chanting and singing along, and even high speed metal tracks.
