In a move that promises to shake the foundations of heavy music, Cleopatra Records has announced the release of Nuclear Messiah's all-star concept album “Black Flame” on April 24.
Built around the visionary guitar mastery of Chris Poland, formerly of Megadeth, Black Flame brings together an impressive roster of 36 iconic musicians from across five decades.
This sonic prophecy unites legends such as Vanilla Fudge, Uriah Heep, and Black Sabbath with modern metal titans like Judas Priest and Yngwie Malmsteen.
The album features a range of cover tracks, including Lucifer's Friend, May Blitz, Holocaust, and Uriah Heep's "Look At Yourself".
Additionally, the release includes new material composed specifically for the line-up that performs on it.
With its sheer scale and star-studded lineup, Black Flame stands as both resurrection and revelation – a celebration of musicianship, legacy, and unrelenting fire.
As Chris Poland notes, "This record has so many metal icons playing on it," making it an absolute must-have for any self-respecting metalhead's collection.
