With YouTube flagging what we consider the PG13 version repeatedly with threats of losing our page permanently (which to be honest contains nothing you can't find on YT already), we decided to really push it and include all the scenes we KNEW they would not allow! So here's the full video, with its own website to view! Enjoy!" (continue)

With the release of their sophomore album, Midnight Blitz, only a few days away, heavy metal band Tailgunner fires on all cylinders once again. "War In Heaven" is a ballad that truly proves their versatility - a powerful statement in the book of heavy metal.

Downing is not the only legend that the five-piece from heavy metal's birthplace could recruit: "War In Heaven" features Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple), who just won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance for his appearance at Black Sabbath's Back To The Beginning happening, on synths. The feature epically bridges the gap between 80s worship and a youthful, contemporary spirit. Tailgunner are unmatched - Midnight Blitz releases this Friday, February 6 via Napalm Records. (continue)
