Belgium’s electrifying heavy metal outfit SPEED QUEEN unleash a new sonic missile with the premiere of their latest single, “The World Ends Tonight”, taken from their eagerly awaited debut full-length album “…With a Bang!”, due out September 5th, 2025 via High Roller Records across all formats.
Formed over a decade ago, SPEED QUEEN have carved out a reputation for high-octane performances across Europe, igniting stages at iconic festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Alcatraz Festival, while touring alongside metal stalwarts like Night Demon.
“Our ethos is simple: rock‘n’roll should be fun and invigorating,” says bassist Lander Savelkoul. “We aim to deliver relentless, fast-paced shows with no pauses—this new release comes with an entirely revamped live experience.”
Savelkoul notes that “…With a Bang!” has been long in the making: “We started crafting these tracks after releasing King of the Road back in 2017. Between touring, a lineup shift, and a pandemic, it’s taken time, but we’ve matured as a band—and it shows in every riff and chorus.”
The album promises more dynamism and depth than ever before, serving up a no-holds-barred celebration of classic metal spirit with fresh fire. Highlights include a guest solo by Jonny Nesta (Thunderor, Skull Fist) on “I Want It”, with recording and mixing handled by Koen Keijers (Tube Driven) and mastering by Thibault Chaumont (Deviant Lab). Visuals for the album are courtesy of Sarina Mannaert, capturing the band’s raw energy and charisma.
