"Zeppelin" is the second full-length album from "everyone's favorite garlic-dodging anti-heroes" (Metal Hammer, UK), the London-based vampire metal act, Stuka Squadron. The band is well known as one of the progenitors of the NWOTHM and has been working on this comeback album for nearly a decade after facing tribulations following the release of "Tales of the Ost" in 2011. This new record shifts the action forward (or perhaps back) from the World War II-themed debut, as our heroes pursue a most ancient Enemy of Mankind all the way back to 1916. It's a heavy metal tale of time travel, The Great War, airships and the Stuka pilots' showdown with the notorious Rasputin himself. It consists of 13 tracks of Maiden-esque and highly varied metallic mayhem. The songs are skillfully crafted with elegant melodies, clever wordplay, bang-your-head riffs and bang-your-fist choruses, and an absolute absence of cheese. STUKA SQUADRON have grown as songwriters since their debut, and the current line-up is poised to please old fans anew and convert newcomers in droves. So, check out the greatest metal band ever formed by undead pilots who flew in World War II... If you crave epic and inspiring metal along the lines of Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Hell, Savatage, Helloween, Judicator, Savage Circus and Persuader, "Zeppelin" is for you!
