American true heavy metal band Vanlade has signed to German label Metalizer Records for the European release of their brand new second album, Rage Of The Gods, on both CD and vinyl formats.

Vanlade vocalist Brett Blackout has checked in with the following comment: "We are excited to announce that we have joined forces with Metalizer Records for the release of Rage Of The Gods. We've put a lot of hard work into making sure this album is a real killer, so it's good to know that it's in excellent hands in Europe with those guys. The official North American release will still be handled independently by the band, so we will be working in unison with Metalizer Records to make this the best album release we can. Remember to grab a copy this September, and as always - stay heavy or die!"

Metalizer Records has issued the following statement: "Metalizer Records is very proud to announce the European release of the fantastic new album from Vanlade, Rage Of The Gods, in CD format on September 18th, and limited edition vinyl before the end of the year. This US band catches perfectly the spirit of the new metal movement in the vein of bands such as Air Raid, Enforcer and Skull Fist. Vanlade's new album is full of unleashed power guitars with a high pitched siren voice that will make your ears bleed! Check out two of their brand new songs 'Frozen For All Time' and 'Hail The Protector' via the You Tube clips below, they´ll blow you away!"
