On August 25th, 2017, French metal force Dagoba will release its seventh studio album, Black Nova, as a cooperation between Jive Epic France for France and Century Media Records for the rest of the world. The first single "Inner Sun" premieres on Rock Hard France's sampler CD out this week and it will be available everywhere on May 19th.

Shawter Dagoba, singer, guitarist, composer and leader of Dagoba, helmed the recordings of Black Nova, which took place at Eagle Black, his own studio in Marseille, whereas Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Heaven Shall Burn) took care of mix and mastering. According to the band's Facebook page, Black Nova sounds massive with rich dynamics, towering riffs, vigorous shouts and infectious melodic choruses all over the place. The equally powerful artwork was created by Seth Siro Anton (Septicflesh).

The tracklist for Black Nova reads as follows:

01. Tenebra
02. Inner Sun
03. The Legacy Of Ares
04. Stone Ocean
05. The Infinite Chase
06. The Grand Emptiness
07. Lost Gravity
08. Fire Dies
09. Phoenix Et Corvus
10. Vantablack

The band is about to set sails for Japan in May with full European touring under way right around time of release of Black Nova. Stay tuned for further details in the coming weeks.
