Truckfighters are back with the sizzling new album V. Yup, you guessed it, its their fifth album and its pretty great.

If you are interested in groovy, stoner-influenced, progressive and melodic hard rock you probably know about Truckfighters already. The best band that ever existed as Josh Homme said in the 2011 fuzzomentary Truckfighters. You might also know the story about how Niklas Dango Kllgren teamed up with bassist and vocalist Oskar Ozo Cedermalm in a worn down rehearsal space in rebro, Sweden in 2001 and how the first song they ever recorded, Desert Cruiser, since then has gone on to become a desert rock anthem. You probably also know that the band itself has gone on to release four full length albums and played sold out shows on four continents.

V continues the Truckfighters tradition of blending big riffs, dynamism and intricate songwriting. The album wont come as a huge surprise for those whove heard our earlier work – but at the same time it feels like a leap forward. Weve been able to create some of our best songs so far. For us this is definitely the album of the year, says Dango andlaughs.

If you know your Truckfighters you know their history with drummers. Its been a few. We use to say that Truckfighters has a very Spinal Tap relationship to drummers, says Dango, but we are really happy with the contributions of Daniel El Danno Israelsson on V. Also, its pretty cool that we got our friend, drummer extraordinaire Peter Damin known from the Paradise Lost album Faith Divides Us – Death Unites Us to play the drums on the track The 1.
