Berlin, Germany-based thrash metallers SPACE CHASER will release their debut album, Watch The Skies, on April 12th throughout Europe, and on May 5th in the UK via This Charming Man Records.
Formed in 2011 through a shared appreciation of ANTHRAX, METALLICA and AGENT STEEL – along with a liking for hi-top sneakers, skateboards, zombies and cheap booze – the quintet have built an impressive following around their no nonsense approach to banging heads, necking bottles and starting parties in the dearth of good parties.
Their debut album Watch The Skies incorporates two re-recorded songs from last year’s Decapitron EP (the EP title track and now LP title track ‘Watch The Skies’), ‘Thrashold’ and seven brand new tracks. Every pinched harmonic a winner for fans of the genre whether the band is keeping the tradition alive or just doing their own thing is anyone’s guess but one thing is for sure, Space Chaser are far from being your average Germanic/Teutonic thrash metal throwback. Produced by Harris Johns (SEPULTURA, SODOM) this is a record that oozes a snotty charisma and one that is packed with hook after hook of amphetamine-fuelled anarchy. It’s a record about alien invasions, hazardous waste and modern day maschinenmenschs rolled out against a backdrop of excellent riffs, rhythmic guitar duels, wailing vocals and chemically peddled drum fills.

La pochette est immonde !
Et l'extrait bah voilà, du rétro-thrash, un petit côté Anthrax et speed metal, vocalement ça change un peu je trouve.

Excellent groupe. Tout aussi excellent en live. Et puis les mecs sont très sympas. Ils filaient leurs EP gratos au concert et comme je suis arrivé trop tard et que j'étais venu de loin ben le mec était désolé et a absolument voulu me filer un t-shirt, et comme je tenais à leur acheter ben il m'a fait payer le t-shirt et m'en a filé un second que j'ai filé à Thrashos. En plus de cela le mec a pris mon adresse et m'a envoyé le skeud gratos quelques jours plus tard
Thrashos dans la voiture au Rock Am Bach pendant la tempête a écrit :Putain on va crever coincé là-dedans comme un hérisson dans un pot de Mc Fleury
Yep excellent concert l'été dernier, une sacré patate et une reprise de Agent Steel à la hauteur de l'originale, d'ailleurs un peu le même esprit sur scène.
Gaëtan au KIT a écrit :Y'a des sites sur internet où tu marques ce que t'as picolé et ça te dit combien de temps il te faut pour dé-saouler. Et ben des fois c'est une semaine...
Nouveau morceau issu d´un split avec Distillatro à sortir le 25 mai

Attention leur nouveau clip c'est de la grosse production pour mettre en scène une réplique de la Cantina de Star Wars!
Je ne suis même pas ironique, on voit rarement autant d'investissement pour un groupe de cette taille.
On July 16, Berlin's Space Chaser will release their new album, Give Us Life, via Metal Blade Records. For a first preview of the record, a video for the new single, "Remnants Of Technology" (produced by Lucas Fiederling / Peregrine Films), can be viewed below.
Space Chaser comments: "For our first sign of life on Metal Blade Records, we wanted to make the best music video we could possibly make. And with a lot of hard work and even more luck, we got something far greater than we could have ever dreamed of. We had this idea for a video lying around for years, but never were able to put it to film. Until now. We had a crew of 60 people working for us. Somehow word got around in the Berlin film scene, and almost everyone was on fire, and wanted to be a part of it. 50 Costumes, 4 make-up artists, 30 extras, a team of directors, camera operators, professional lightning - you name it, we had it. Two teams of set-builders worked tirelessly for a week together with the band. We built an entire bar in some humid, freezing cold basement for a total of 3 days and nights of shooting. The concept was planned for months, an entire week of preparation and two days of assembling everything. Everybody pulled their weight and helped make our little space short. Lucas Fiederling of Peregrine Films didn't sleep for two months straight. The result looks like a Michael Jackson video. If he was a thrasher. From Berlin. Watch The Skies."
Nothing can beat the thrill of thrash at its best, and no one is keeping the spirit and sound of the genre alive quite like Space Chaser. Marking their ten-year anniversary with their third full-length, Give Us Life, they are returning in force and once again establishing their importance in the scene.
"What we do is contemporary Thrash Metal, if you will, and while still having the 'old-school' elements everyone loves, we try to incorporate some of the influences that we expose ourselves to. Over the last ten years, this kind of music progressed a lot, and of course that has its influence on us. But what we do is still Thrash Metal, we just hope we're able to translate it a little bit better into 2021."
The album was recorded at their go-to studio, Berlin's Hidden Planet, with Jan Oberg, who the band acknowledge is a rather unknown name in the metal scene, but his work proves up to par with international standards nonetheless. The songs were produced by guitarist Leo Schacht and drummer Matthias Scheuerer with the help of Oberg, and for mastering they had Dan Swanö of Unisound Studios at the helm.
"It was the smoothest recording process we have ever had. Everybody went in perfectly prepared and every idea worked out just how we anticipated. It's almost surreal, though being satisfied with your production can lead you to get lost in details forever - and the intro for 'Burn Them All' was a bitch!"
Acknowledging that it feels weird to have reached their tenth anniversary already, this landmark has only stoked the fires.
"We never felt so pumped and ready for whatever life throws at us," they say, and asking what they see when they look to the band's future, they are emphatic. "World domination! Well…sort of. I think every band just wants to get as big a name in the metal world as possible, and we are no exception. We really hope to expand our fanbase outside of Germany with 'Give Us Life', and we never even dreamt of getting the chance to release a record through Metal Blade. Furthermore, we definitely want to tour a lot as soon as we are allowed to. We are anxious to leave Europe for the first time, and we want to prove that we are capable of delivering on an international standard."
