Power metal band KNIGHTS OF ROUND will release a new album on May 22nd.
IN THE LIGHT OF HOPE, which will feature eleven songs, is the first we've heard from KNIGHTS OF ROUND in over two years. Their last album, The Meaning of Life, dropped in December 2016 and the band last performed in September 2017.
During this downtime, bandleader YAZIN has become a karate tutor, drummer RIHITO remains active with VALTHUS, and bassist Takuma "Caesar" Hongo had continued to play in progressive rock band J.A.SEAZER to Akuma no Ie.
Elsewhere, ex-vocalist Vocchang has made a comeback as the frontman of neoclassical metal band Cerebellar Rondo. They released their debut single fate back in June last year.
Below, you can watch a preview of fate, as well as J.A.SEAZER to Akuma no Ie's music video for the song Ruirui sanka ~Yume no Jigoku~, from their August 2018 album Igo Junreika.
