It all began in 2020 and the virus that, as we all know, paralyzed everything. The musicians Michael Vetter (guitar & bass, ex-Pump) and Roland Seidel (vocals, ex-Wasteland), who were condemned to do nothing, decided to get active together during the bleak phase of the global lockdown. The result: a symbiosis of the energy of bands like Iron Maiden, the darkness of Black Sabbath and the playfulness of Helloween. The two albums “Heavenly Creatures” (2021) and “Servants Of The Devil” (2023) were produced by Achim Köhler (Brainstorm, Primal Fear a.o.) and got a lot of attention.
After numerous live shows with Vicious Rumors, Rage, Tankard a.o., BLACK & DAMNED are now ready to release their third magnum opus “Resurrection” in March via ROAR (Grave Digger, Holy Moses a. o.). Produced by ex-Primal Fear guitarist Stefan Leibing, the band has succeeded in creating a profound, melodic and melancholic heavy metal album with lasting anthems.
