From The Press Release

From the early days on, VENDETTA’s musical style is rooted in thrash and speed metal, and their first two studio albums, released in the late 80’s, prove it.

With the addition of guitarist Jan Hüttinger and drummer Domi Bertelt, new blood joined VENDETTA a few years ago and the band started working on a new album and started recording it during the pandemic.

VENDETTA’s former vocalist/guitarist Achim “Daxx” Hömerlein wrote “the songs on the new album along with the band’s bassist/guitarist Klaus Ullrich and wrote the lyrics along with the band’s vocalist Mario Vogel”.

The band now presents “Black As Coal”, their best album so far! With songs like “Strangehold Of Terror”, “Cheap Death”, “AK-47” or “Death Means Relief”, VENDETTA aim to break your neck and destroy your ears!

Black As Coal was mixed by Dominik Bertelt and VENDETTA at Caffeine Recording, and was mastered by Michael Simon at Rocket Science Audio Studio. The cover artwork was designed by Pablo Klose.
