ALMANAC - the new band of Victor Smolski (ex-RAGE) - are set to release their sophomore record titled »Kingslayer«, on November 24th, 2017 via Nuclear Blast. The limited first edition of the new album will also include a bonus live DVD, which presents their show at this year's Masters Of Rock Festival. At the festival, the band debuted two new tracks live, 'Losing My Mind' and 'Children Of The Sacred Path'. Three weeks ago the band released the music video for 'Losing My Mind', which is also the first digital single off of the new record. Today, the band unveiled more insights into the upcoming album with the live clip of 'Children Of The Sacred Path', which will be included on the bonus live DVD!

Victor comments on the clip: "'Masters of Rock' is one of my favourite festivals and for that reason we wanted to present 'Children Of The Sacred Path', a new song from the second ALMANAC album »Kingslayer«, for the first time at this festival. Heavy rain before our show caused a lot of trouble in regards to doing our line check, so it was very difficult to achieve the perfect sound on stage. But in spite of the bad weather conditions, our fans gave us great support and I was happy that the video cameras were still working!"

»Kingslayer« was recorded with producer Andreas Herr at HeyDay Studios in Wuppertal, Germany. The cover artwork was once again created by Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák(ACCEPT, DESTRUCTION a.o.).
"Our second strike is complete," reveals guitar player Victor Smolski and explains, that "»Kingslayer« is the logical follow-up to »Tsar«, just more compact, heavier and faster. The experience now under our belts gained from our many live experiences, including the two tours and festivals, has been fully implemented in the studio. The band have grown closer and stronger, you can feel this unified energy within the new tracks. We took a lot of time and gave our very best. »Kingslayer« is a crafted metal album with a lively power sound!"
