ZEPTER – debut album coming in February 2026

High Roller Records proudly announces ZEPTER’s self-titled debut album, scheduled for February 20th 2026 on all formats.

ZEPTER are a new traditional heavy metal band from Austria. The project started in January 2024, heavily inspired by the NWOBHM. A few months later, an EP called „Inferno“ was issued on cassette in a limited edition of 100 copies through Ironbound (a vinyl version on Fucking Kill Records and a CD edition via Witches Brew followed shortly after).

Guitarist/vocalist Lukas describes the album as „authentic heavy metal of the old school, with lots of catchy hooks and tasty twin-guitar harmony parts. It should come across like a mixture of Thin Lizzy and UFO of the Schenker era, combined with elements of early speed metal by the likes of Acid and Slayer, as if they had been already around in 1978.“

A lyric video for the album’s opening track „Slasher On The Highway“ has been premiered here: ZEPTER – „Slasher on the Highway“ (LYRIC VIDEO | HIGH ROLLER RECORDS)
