ROXXCALIBUR unleash single & video for the track “Fight For Your Freedom” today”!
German Metal band ROXXCALIBUR unleashes a new single & video for the song “Fight For Your Freedom” today! This song, a cover from the band ENERGY originally recorded in 1983, is taken from the group’s upcoming album “NWOBHM – From The Vaults” which will be released on Limb Music on May 9th, 2025!
Guitarist Holger Ziegler comments: “‘Fight For Your Freedom’ by ENERGY was one of Limb’s suggestions for the album. Another band of which there is probably only this one single and which is not even listed in the Metal Archives. I couldn’t get the song out of my head after hearing it for the first time, so it was my joker for the album in case it failed the voting with the other songs. Everyone was allowed to nominate a song that they absolutely wanted to have on the album and that’s how it turned out.
I think the way the song builds up to such a speedy masterpiece after this quiet, somewhat melancholy beginning is very cool for 1983. This melody in particular is so great that I gave it a boost with double bass at the end when I heard the song… I especially like the fast songs anyway.“
About the band & the release:
Ten years after: ROXXCALIBUR are back! Album number four “NWOBHM From The Vaults” delivers even more nugget bits and pieces of an unbroken dedicated journey. A classy follow-up to “Gems Of The NWOBHM”.

This fivepiece represents a hell way more than just being a keen tribute band playing historic tunes and keeping up the spirit of an era alive and kickin’.
ROXXCALIBUR has a clear-cut definition being “a band with external songwriters”. These guys again and again dig out lost NWOBHM pearls, awarding them a fully deserved second chance. A metal on metal win-win package …
“NWOBHM From The Vaults” sounds as natural as a recording session being cut in the womb of a living room. Conducted by guitarist Kalli Goldsmith as producer, the songs do sound authentically organic, thankfully lacking modern elements or any artificial “retro” atmosphere.
Icing on the cake is one more stunning cover artwork by Rodney Matthews. The renowned artist not only illustrated many records of rock icons during the seventies but also coined the sleeves of NWOBHM household names with Diamond Head, Praying Mantis and Tygers Of Pan Tang among them.
“NWOBHM From The Vaults” contains a lush booklet with liner notes illuminating the heritage of every single song.
The songs “Fight For Your Freedom” (March 21st, 2025) and “Wheels” (April 18th, 2025) will be released as singles & videos in advance!
