Sweden's THE DAGGER have launched another track of their upcoming self-titled debut album, which is to be released on June 30th, 2014 via Century Media Records in Europe. While some songs of the album originate from a mere heavy metal background, song "Skygazer" perfectly underlines the hard rock roots of THE DAGGER. Check out the song at www.soundcloud.com. "The Dagger", which recently scored "album of the month" in Sweden Rock magazine, contains ten tracks of flawlessly executed heavy metal rock, combining outstanding songwriting skills with the untamable power of early 80's NWOBHM and the spirit of epic 70's rock.Head over to www.smarturl.it and pre-order the album in the physical format of your choice. "The Dagger" will be available as a fairly-priced CD Jewelcase (incl. the bonus track "Mainline Riders", a cover version of NWOBHM legend QUARTZ) as well as a cool Gatefold LP with printed inner sleeve and 180gr vinyl and as Digital Album. The LP will be released on black vinyl, orange vinyl (100x copies via HRR) and limited red vinyl (worldwide limited to 300x copies). A silver vinyl version - worldwide limited to only 100x copies - is exclusively offered at CM Distro. Click the above link and nail down one of these rare pieces from CMR.
