SERIOUS BLACK release new album ‘Rise Of Akhenaton’ on 27th September

15th August 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Ten years of 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 is set to release their brand new album, entitled “Rise Of Akhenaton”, on September 27, 2024, via AFM Records.

The album pre-sale is available at: https://seriousblack.bfan.link/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. In support of “Rise Of Akhenaton”, the band will be on tour throughout Europe, with Sonata Arctica and Firewind. Find all upcoming dates listed below.

“The return to what characterized us once, was already indicated on ‘Vengeance Is Mine’“, Lochert recently said about the natural evolution of the band 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.“
