News : Silent Knight – New Album, Cover Art, Tour Dates & More!

By on July 3, 2015

So this news dropped the other day. Perth power metallers Silent Knight announced via their Facebook page their new album and cover art. It is entitled ‘Conquer & Command’. The much anticipated second album from the band is set to land in late 2015 at an as yet unspecified date.

The brilliant cover art was once again handled by All Things Rotten, who last did the artwork for Silent Knight’s ‘Power Metal Supreme’ EP.

In another exciting announcement, Silent Knight also revealed original drummer and band founder Paul Wrigley is returning to the fold “with a fresh drive and renewed desire”.

The band had this to say about it:

New Album, New Tour & New Line Up for Silent Knight

One of Australia’s leading Power Metal bands, Silent Knight, will release their long awaited and very much overdue second album, Conquer & Command in late 2015.

Featuring 9 studio tracks, including Prisoner Of Your World, (which was the lead track on 2014’s Power Metal Supreme EP) and Empty Threat, the album will also feature the spectacular cover of Europe’s The Final Countdown, a fan favourite during the band’s live performances.

To support the release of Conquer & Command, Silent Knight will be hitting the road in October for a run of dates around the country which will also see them headline the Daimonous Open Air Festival in Bali, Indonesia and play main support in their hometown of Perth for German Power Metal legends, Helloween.

Conquer & Commands stunning cover-art has once again been handled by European designer, All Things Rotten (www.allthingsrotten.com) and will also feature on the bands accompanying tour merchandise

Silent Knight are partnering with Pledge Music for their album pre-sale campaign which will not only give their fans first access to the album and signed merchandise, but will also make exclusive items available and allow fans inside the studio with regular video & photo updates as the recording progresses.
