HIGH FIGHTER announce new album details and unveils album cover, title and track list for their new album “Scars & Crosses”.
Hamburg-based Sludge Metal and Power Doom band HIGH FIGHTER, who already gained high praise in the scene for their self-released demo EP “The Goat Ritual” back in the end of 2014, have just unveiled some new details about their upcoming first full length album.
After the band formed in the summer of 2014 and in one band year only, High Fighter heavily toured across Europe including UK dates shared the stages with bands such as Ahab, Mammoth Storm, The Midnight Ghost Train, Corrosion of Conformity or Greenleaf and played festivals in 2015 such as Stoned from the Underground, Sonic Blast in Portugal, Red Smoke Poland, Hamburg Metaldayz and an exclusive press showcase live at Wacken Open Air 2015.
Now High Fighter have finished the work on their debut studio record, and unveil first details about “Scars & Crosses” set to be released June 10th 2016 on Svart Records.
