Comments EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet: “We recorded a pure epic heavy EDGUY album, our record label demanded a heavy metal cover artwork, so who are we to not obey?! It’s got 1. Monster 2. Daredevil Action Hero 3. Fantasy Space Scape 4. Is Hand Painted 5. Fire (coming out of the…) 6. …Weapon

“Now, not giving a shit and getting away with it: THAT is metal!”

Regarding the musical direction of “Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown”EDGUY previously said: “We have focused on what makes this band unique and recorded what we believe is going to be the strongest and heaviest album EDGUY has ever recorded.

“We didn’t waste any time with updates or distractions.

“There is no doubt that this album is going to be the album EDGUY will be measured against in the future. And it makes us proud to say that as a band that has been existing for over 22 years now, fully aware that the best is yet to come.”
