LIZZORD UNLEASHES OLD-SCHOOL THRASH FURY WITH DEBUT ALBUM COSMIC CRYPT

German Melodic Thrash Metal Outfit Combines Classic Speed, Cutting Riffs and Strong Melodic Songwriting Across Explosive Debut

Album Release Date: November 20, 2026
Upcoming Single: "Bring Out The Dead" – November 6, 2026
Genre: Melodic Thrash Metal

There is still plenty of life left in the riff, and German melodic thrash metal outfit LIZZORD are coming to prove it.

Drawing influence from the uncompromising aggression of Slayer, the razor-sharp precision of Kreator, and the formative speed and songwriting of early 1980s Metallica, LIZZORD have built their sound around the essential ingredients of classic thrash while adding a strong melodic edge of their own.

The band will unleash their debut full-length album, Cosmic Crypt, on November 20, 2026, delivering a collection of songs driven by sharp guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, memorable melodies and varied songwriting. Rather than simply chasing speed for speed's sake, LIZZORD place equal importance on musical variety, dynamics and songs that stick with the listener after the final riff fades.

“We bring a debut album that combines the energy of classic thrash metal with a strong sense of melody,” the band explains. “Cosmic Crypt is packed with sharp riffs, driving rhythms and varied songwriting. Cosmic Crypt is aimed at old-school thrash fans who value musical variety alongside heaviness and speed.”

The road toward Cosmic Crypt is already underway, with LIZZORD steadily unveiling the album through a series of singles.

The campaign kicked off with "Hellzone," released September 3, 2026, introducing listeners to the band's high-energy approach and unmistakable old-school thrash influences.

The second single, "Harvest Doom," followed on October 10, continuing the buildup toward the full-length release and giving fans another taste of the album's aggressive riffs and melodic songwriting.

Now, LIZZORD are preparing to unleash their third single, "Bring Out The Dead," arriving November 6, 2026. The track will serve as the final preview ahead of the November 20 release of Cosmic Crypt, giving listeners one more reason to crank up the volume before the complete album arrives.

At the center of the project is a commitment to the classic metal values that helped define the genre in the first place: powerful riffs, memorable songs, aggressive performances and a willingness to let the guitars do the talking.

The album was produced, mixed and mastered by drummer Marcel Weber at INFERNAL AUDIO studio, giving Cosmic Crypt a production that allows the band's speed, precision and melodic elements to hit with full force.

LIZZORD are a self-managed outfit, with bassist Florian Thome handling the band's management and external contact. The group is currently focused on building its presence through smaller venues throughout Germany and working toward a club tour.

The band already have several live dates confirmed, including:

February 27, 2027
Into The Pit
Hof, Germany

July 3, 2027
THRASHAMANIA
Prüm, Germany

December 11, 2027
Metal Concert
Oberhausen, Germany

With Cosmic Crypt, LIZZORD aren't trying to reinvent thrash metal. They're taking the ingredients that made the genre great in the first place and putting their own melodic stamp on them.

For listeners who still believe that a great metal song starts with a killer riff, a driving rhythm section and enough attitude to rattle the walls, LIZZORD are ready to open the Cosmic Crypt on November 20.
