On April 12th, German extreme metallers Ketzer will release their fourth full-length, entitled Cloud Collider, via Metal Blade Records. It was recorded at Markus Stock's infamous Klangschmiede Studio E as well as Laurent Teubls Sculpt Sound Studios in autumn, 2018. For a preview of the album, the first single "No Stories Left", is now available for streaming (guest appearance by Absu vocalist Proscriptor McGovern).

Ketzer checked in with the following comment about the album: "Lately, we have been possessed by storms. First there is a breeze, then the sky darkens: A sense of electric energy starts to fill the air. A sense of sheer power, building up, waiting to erupt. Cloud Collider will strike you like a force of nature. When recording an album after months of hard work, blood and sweat, it is always our greatest wish, accompanied by the most terrifying fears, that the recordings will be able to 'catch' the songs and their certain, special spark. When we hear the final result for the first time, we have to think: 'THIS is how the next chapter must sound'. Only then, we can be satisfied. With all the more pride and joy we can now say about Cloud Collider, that both is the case, and it is without a single doubt! THIS is how Ketzer has to sound in 2019. It is new and it is old and it is everything. It is fast and it is slow and we just can't wait to bring these songs to the stage. This album is a piece of work that we feel embodies all aspects that stand and stood for the sound of Ketzer now and then. An album that manages to still go one step further to form something new!"




Ketzer comments: For us, "No Stories Left" is a very special song. One of many reasons being that none other than Absu's mythical Proscriptor McGovern has lent us his striking voice for it."

McGovern on the track: "It is with inordinate honor to announce my co-vocalist appearance on "No Stories Left": the first single to be issued on Ketzer's upcoming album Cloud Collider. What I contemplate = I uproariously touch with voice. What I enter into imagination = I make myself one with; however, a tower can fall twice."
