ZEPTER – neue Track Premiere; Album am 20.02.26
Up-and-coming Austrian Heavy Metallers ZEPTER have premiered a final advance track for their self-titled debut album, coming on February 20th 2026 via High Roller Records.
You can listen to "The Lords" here: https://youtu.be/7tVxFkkSBDQ
ZEPTER started in January 2024, heavily inspired by the NWOBHM. A few months later, an EP called "Inferno" was issued on cassette in a limited edition of 100 copies through Ironbound (a vinyl version on Fucking Kill Records and a CD edition via Witches Brew followed shortly after).
Guitarist/vocalist Lukas describes the debut album as "authentic heavy metal of the old school, with lots of catchy hooks and tasty twin-guitar harmony parts. It should come across like a mixture of Thin Lizzy and UFO of the Schenker era, combined with elements of early speed metal by the likes of Acid and Slayer, as if they had been already around in 1978."
"Zepter" was recorded, mixed and mastered at Support Nothing Studios by Johnnyfromtherotten. Artwork by Sebastian Frigerio.
