With such move we are confident to have chosen the best decision to strengthen the name of IGNITOR in US, being HEAVY ARTILLERY one of the steadiest defender of old-school heavy metal, and the perfect partner in terms of release-quality and genre for the band and our label’s profile.
IGNITOR features among his ranks veteran musicians of the US METAL scene such as his founder and main-songwriter STUART LAURENCE (Batlord) from AGONY COLUMN, and the new addition JASON MCMASTER the well-known singer of DANGEROUS TOYZ and WATCHTOWER.
“The Spider Queen” is an original rock opera written by guitarist Stuart Laurence himself in 9 scenes plus an intro and an epilogue, each scene represented by a song.
The album narrates the adventure of a young man facing the quest of his life, avenging his parents’ death. The story revolves around a mysterious talisman, the “Rune of Power” and the magic it possesses, with many turns of events that will lead to an unexpected end.
Each and every one of the numerous characters are impersonated by the versatile, dramatic and impressive vocals of Jason McMaster who delivers a performance to the highest of his standards.
The album has been recorded through 2008 and finally mastered by Nick Landis at Terra Nova Nova Digital Audio, Inc. in Austin TX.
Release-dates are set for the 14th of September (Europe and rest of the world), and for the 22th of September (US/Canada).
