Shrapnel announce new album ‘Palace For The Insane’

SHRAPNEL have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, titled Palace For The Insane, is the third full-length album from the UK thrashers and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Candlelight Records.

The album will mark the band’s first recorded venture as a four-piece and it is their first album recorded in collaboration with Samuel Turbitt of Ritual Sound Studios.

“We wanted to step out of our comfort zone a little this time round”, says lead guitarist Nathan Sadd. “We knew we could pound out 10 relentless thrash songs fairly easily, but we wanted the challenge of writing a really memorable, diverse record. We wanted to write songs. I think we achieved that. The album definitely contains the most memorable and hooky stuff we’ve ever written, while still being thrashy and brutal.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming record; titled Salt The Earth.

Continuing to speak about the album, Nathan says, “we might be experimenting a little more these days, but we never turn our back on our absolute love for thrash. This one shreds harder, its angrier, and at times, it’s grittier. It was fueled by an enormous amount of frustration and anger, and a ton of fun too. Thrash is in our blood. And that side of us is going nowhere.”
