Melodic metal act Jaded Star was formed by Maxi Nil (ex Visions Of Atlantis) and Raphael Saini (ex Iced Earth), the band's debut album, Memories From The Future ( 2015 / Sensory Records), took the heavy scene by storm and not only brought Jaded Star to sharing stages with with acts like Moonspell, Epica, Xandria, Draconian and many more while also building a loyal and worldwide fan base.

The band says about the signing, “On this new era for Jaded Star our paths crossed with Nuclear Blast's veteran Patrick Walch and his amazing team of the up and coming German metal force Noble Demon records. Patrick believed in us from day one and we share the same mindset. We're really looking forward to what the future shall bring, and we invite you all on this new adventure with us!”

Jaded Star 's brand new opus, Realign, is set for release on November 6, being the charismatic and dynamic, beautiful but heavy, follow-up record, that their fans have been waiting for. An impressive first peek of what to expect from the upcoming full-length album can now be heard and seen in form of the music video for ‘Female Fronted’.

Maxi Nil explains: "I never really understood the term ‘Female Fronted Metal’, why should we use the sex of the singer to define a music genre? You see a woman behind the mic, you hear a woman singing...isn't that obvious enough? Our song ‘Female Fronted’ is an ode to music that is meant to unite and not to divide. Let's put an end on this new trend, sexism doesn't belong in this world, we can all do better than this."

Come one! Come all, to the demented, heinous bloodbath of a murder metal circus that declares Macabre’s return; Carnival Of Killers. As the band's first full-length album in almost 10 years and just in time for their 35th anniversary as a band, Carnival Of Killers will be released on November 13 via Nuclear Blast Records.

On their news single, Macabre 's Corporate Death comments, "'The Lake Of Fire' is about the hidden bunker that Leonard Lake and Charles Ng had where they tortured and killed young women with tools and filmed it all. Those were two very evil men so I thought the title was fitting! I started writing the chorus back in our Grim Scary Tales era and finally finished the song all these years later for the new album Carnival Of Killers. I hope you like it, I wanted a lot of variety on the new album, this is just a taste."

Carnival Of Killers was recorded and mixed by Tomek Spirala of Studio1134 with the exception of drum tracks as he recorded them at Kiwi Audio with the help of Mark Walker. The mastering of Carnival Of Killers was handled by J.F. Dagenais at JFD Studios in Dallas, TX. The Where’s Wally meets serial killer album artwork was created by Corporate Death (lead singer/ guitarist Lance Lencioni) and artist Laz Gein and highlights the album's most memorable references.
