Inglorious

Details of the highly anticipated second album from leading hard rockers Inglorious have landed today. The album is simply titled 'Inglorious II' and will be released on 12th May via Frontiers Music Srl.

Along with this news, MetalTalk's overall Best New Band of 2016 (and runners-up in many other categories) have confirmed that original guitarist Drew Lowe will return to the band, replacing Wil Taylor who departed at the end of 2016 after the album was recorded. Find out all about Drew right here:

Regarding the album, frontman Nathan James told us: “It came together very organically after spending time touring together and felt great. We knew we were making an album this time too! We focused on getting our sounds just right so we could get into the studio and out in the least time possible.

"Between Adde's flat in Malmö, Sweden and Colin’s family home in Somerset, England, this album came together quickly. We spent three weekends in Somerset, writing in a kind of 9-5 fashion, whereby we knew we were at work. Then after a lovely home cooked dinner we would relax, have a few beers and balance out our hard work, the environment is so important to be creative and we had it good!”

The album will be released as a standard CD and also as a Deluxe 2CD/DVD edition. The DVD will feature a previously unavailable live performance from Download Festival 2016 plus extra bonus content, including videos for forthcoming singles 'I Don’t Need Your Loving' and 'Taking The Blame'.
