This is mostly because the main menu has very few options and selecting “ Historical Battles” or “ Multiplayer Campaign” launches them straight away with no further options to choose from. Is the game still relevant? and even more important is it a good game? This is My Scrambled Thoughts on Blitzkrieg 3.īlitzkrieg 3 at first glance seems like a very bare game compared to a lot of Steam Early Access games. It has been about a decade since Blitzkrieg 2 came out and a dozen years since the first Blitzkrieg game so most people have probably forgot about the game or have moved onto Men of War and Company of Heroes at this point. Video games developers Nival “ Blitzkrieg 3” was announced two years ago in 2013 but has only recently been available to play in a closed alpha and is now available on Steam Early Access. The more I think about it – Blitzkrieg is a very suitable name for this game. Moving into 2012 sees the band now into their 32nd anniversary year and gearing up for the follow up release to "Theatre."Ģ013 brought out the follow up to theatre of the damned and a new line up. In 2007 the band signed to German label Armageddon Records and released "Theatre of the Damned", which was co-produced by Saxon frontman Biff Byford after Blitzkrieg opened for Saxon a year earlier on their UK tour. Following the release of Absolutely live, the band went on to record the critically acclaimed “Sins and Greed” which was released in mid 2005. Following the release of their double Anthology CD on Sanctuary Records the band released their first live album on Metal Nation Records (again owned by Jess Cox).
Absolute Power was released in Brazil on Hellion Records & as an LP in Sweden by TPL Records. A spate of interviews in Europe, the UK & the USA followed with a string of festival dates in Europe (& the US) which helped push the band back into the spotlight once more. 2002 saw the release of their new album Absolute Power on Edgy Records to rave reviews worldwide. Another boost from Metallica came when the USA rockers again covered the Blitzkrieg track on their Live Shit box set & their 1998 album Garage Inc. In 1995 Neat Records re-emerged with a vengeance & immediately signed Blitzkrieg to a new 3 album deal: Unholy Trinity, Ten & The Mists Of Avalon were the result (also released in Japan on Pony Canyon Records).
In 1991 the band made a mini album called Ten Years Of Blitzkrieg for Roadrunner to celebrate their tenth anniversary, re-recording the Blitzkrieg /Buried Alive tracks together with 3 new numbers. Meanwhile, Metallica covered the song Blitzkrieg on their Creeping Death EP. Now Ross decided that it was time to record the Blitzkrieg LP that had been planned way back in 1981, entitled A Time Of Changes: it was released in 1985 on Neat/Roadrunner with recruits from the previous bands brought in to record the album. After the success of the Satan album & European tours, the band’s direction became unclear & Ross decided to leave & concentrate on managing the North East band Lone Wolf (Brian performed vocals on the single Your Move). The band released 2 singles on Neat: Ross then left to join Satan with whom he recorded the classic Caught In The Act album which was released by Roadrunner & licensed to Neat for the UK. The members went their own separate ways but Brian Ross & Mick Moore stayed together to form the heart of Avenger. The band gigged extensively in England but split in 1981. Their first demo, made in November that year, secured them their first recording deal with Neat Records resulting in the famous Blitzkrieg/Buried Alive single & a track on the Lead Weight compilation album. After seeing Blitzkrieg on a short hiatus for 2011, 2012 not only brings the band into their 32nd Anniversary year but also work has began on a new Blitzkrieg album for release in the latter part of 2012.The as yet untitled album will be the follow up to the 2007 release "Theatre of the Damned".This will also see the band hitting the festivals and tour dates extensively throughout 2012 and into 2013īlitzkrieg was formed in Leicester in October 1980.
