Melodic Power Metal Unit SERIOUS BLACK Presents “Take Your Life” Video Single Of Upcoming Album “Rise Of Akhenaton”!

In celebration of their 10th band anniversary, German power metal act SERIOUS BLACK will unleash their forthcoming, sixth studio album, entitled  “Rise Of Akhenaton”, on September 27, 2024 via AFM Records. A video clip for their latest single, “Take Your Life” is now premiering below!

Band mastermind Mario Lochert comments: 

“For me personally, this song is something special, not just because my daughter Emilia sang in the 3-part children’s choir. The song also describes my path in the music industry, when people laughed and said you crazy won’t be able to do it. But at the end of the battle the dead are counted – these are the times when the heroes colide.”

Ten years SERIOUS BLACK, ten years of melodic power metal, with the license to create anthems! Since their founding in 2014 the band enthuses their fans not only with five studio albums to date (while their last offering, “Vengeance Is Mine”, charted at a phenomenal #16 in Germany), but also at frenetically acclaimed concerts and festival appearances around the globe. To celebrate their decadal birthday in glorious style, SERIOUS BLACK are currently not only gearing up for their upcoming tour with SONATA ARCTICA and FIREWIND (find all dates listed below!), but of course also the release of their much-awaited new offering “Rise Of Akhenaton”.

All of the eleven tracks on their new album showcase, that SERIOUS BLACK stylistically went back to their roots, but at the same time, due to the modern production by Mario Lochert und Bob Katsionis, “Rise Of Akhenaton” sounds more diversified than ever. The interim focus on progressive directives has now changed to more catchy arrangements. Anno 2024, straight, classic power metal – the style the band once got to be known for – reigns again.

„The return to what characterized us once, was already indicated on “Vengeance Is Mine” “, Lochert recently said about the natural evolution of the band and adds: „Since his joining three years ago our singer Nikola Mijic has turned out to be a real jewel for us. Because of his expressive voice and his intuitive feeling for great melodies the songs got more clarity and a more direct pace.“
