Tommy Massara comments: "It's a 100% Metal Album that leaves the listeners breathless. The songs are well balanced, there's a lot of double bass, tempo changes and screaming lead guitar solos like in the old days. The songwriting of the album reminds of something classic with a modern production."

The album will be available in deluxe CD digipak and limited edition coloured gatefold vinyl.

'Headbanging Forever' was produced by Tommy Massara and Gabriele Ravaglia. Recorded and mixed by Gabriele Ravaglia and Maxx Canali at the Fear Studio in Italy, it was mastered by Alberto Cutolo at Massive Arts studios in Milan.

For this album, the band enlisted Gustavo Sazes (Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Angra, Iced Earth, a.o.) to create the album artwork. Tommy commented on the cover, "We had a list of artists in mind with which we would like to work with, in the end we decided for two. With one it didn't work, with Gustavo, after some emails and some ideas exchange, we decided to leave him blank paper to let his own vision and concept free, and the result is awesome! A cover with a strong impact."
