German power metallers Human Fortress are back after a five-year hiatus. The band parted ways with their singer in 2010, and now announced Gus Monsanto (ex-Adagio) as their new vocalist. The band also announced that they have signed with AFM Records for the release of their new upcoming album. The new album recordings are finished and the album will be released by the end of the year.

Guitarist Torsten Wolf comments: "With our upcoming album we musically want to continue in the vein of our first two releases Lord Of Earth And Heavens Heir and Defenders Of The Crown. We are very happy to start this new endeavour with our fantastic new vocalist Gus Monsanto now."

Also, from the new frontman, Gus Monsanto: "I always wanted to do this kind of music but couldn't find a band like that in Brazil. These songs are epic, with huge hooklines and I was convinced straight away. I can't wait to play our songs on stage."
