Listen to PERSECUTOR’s new album ‘Vendetta’ HERE

Over the past four months, Danish neo-thrashers PERSECUTOR have shared a series of banging singles from their second album ‘Vendetta’, which finally sees the day of light today, Friday October 13th. The band is well underway with their homeland run of dates with DK thrash metal kings HateSphere, but taking a short break from the tour tonight to celebrate the album tonight with a sold out release show in Copenhagen.

The band states on the album release:

“It has been four long years since our debut album “Rebirth“ came out, and now our second album ‘Vendetta’ is finally ready to be released. It has been a long journey, but in the end we wanted to release the best product we could possibly create, and that takes time. We have nothing more to say, except that we are very proud of this album and that we hope you will appreciate it as much as we do.”

‘Vendetta’ vinyl, CD and merch are available in the band’s webshop HERE and tickets for the current tour can be purchased HERE.

PERSECUTOR was founded in Denmark in 2018 by a group of young musicians with the clear aim of playing aggressive, melodic thrash. The band moved as fast as their music, and in 2019, the hard hitting debut album ‘Rebirth’ saw the light of day, followed by a handful of intense local shows, proving the band’s worth as an engaging live act. Following the pandemic in 2020, PERSECUTOR kept itself busy releasing the two standalone singles “Cannibal Island” and “The Blitz. and as the lockdown prevented live shows, the band dived deep into creating the second album ‘Vendetta’.

On ‘Vendetta’, PERSECUTOR delivers on all fronts with its direct songwriting and razor-sharp riffing embedding classic genre traits with a modern approach, a keen melodic sense, varied arrangements and a lyrical theme spawned from the deepest pits of the human mind. As on the prior releases, Andreas Linnemann (Baest, Swartzheim, Hajn) is responsible for the clear and punchy production and the vivid artwork is created by Matt Hatting.
