Blackguard frontman Paul Ablaze has checked in with an update on the groups forthcoming Victory Records debut. Here’s what he had to say about it:

“This is going to be our most dynamic release to date. We’re going to have a few slower songs on this album; more head banging tunes. We’re also going to be introducing some new elements to our song to mix things up a bit.

Not to sound too cliché but we definitely don’t want to write the same record over and over again and this record is going to be a great step forward for us.”

The album is currently expected out early this coming spring. In other news, the band are expected to announce a European tour shortly.
