Truckfighters are back with the sizzling new album V. Yup, you guessed it, it’s their fifth album and it’s 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‘ Källgren teamed up with bassist and vocalist Oskar ‘Ozo’ Cedermalm in a worn down rehearsal space in Örebro, 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.   The band’s upcoming fifth album, V, is released September 30th under exclusive license to the established label Century Media Records. “Century Media have been very cool with us. We’ve been able to keep that do it yourself-philosophy of ours, to focus solely on our creative process and producing the album”, says Ozo.   V continues the Truckfighters tradition of blending big riffs, dynamism and intricate songwriting. “The album won’t come as a huge surprise for those who’ve heard our earlier work – but at the same time it feels like a leap forward. We’ve been able to create some of our best songs so far. For us this is definitely the album of the year”, says Dango and laughs.   If you know your Truckfighters you know their history with drummers. It’s been a few. “We use to say that Truckfighters has a ‘very Spinal Tap relationship’ to drummers,” says Niklas, “but we are really happy with the contributions of Daniel ‘El Danno’ Israelsson on V”. “Also, it’s 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.”   Discography (full length albums) 2005: Gravity X (Fuzzorama/Meterocity) 2007: Phi (Fuzzorama) 2009: Mania (Fuzzorama 2014: Universe (Fuzzorama/Sony) 2016: V (Century Media/Fuzzorama)

When it all came together in 2004 Deville was born after some years of searching. Through a haze of rock, metal and stoner the members have found a way to do something that feels…   The line-up was complete when Åkesson came back from Australia and Hambitzer gave up soulless pop and joined the inseparable duo, Andy and Markus. Since the 2004 line-up there have been over 300 gigs and festivals in Sweden,Denmark,Norway,Finland,Germany,the Netherlands,Belgium,Austria,Czech Republic,Switzerland,France,Italy,Lithuania,Portugal, Spain, U.K and in the USA.   Daredevilrecords released at the end of 2005 a double feature cd lp with Deville and gothenburgers Sergej the Freak called “Sergej the Freak meets Deville”.   Deville signed to Buzzville Records in 2007 and the first full length album with material recorded during the period -06 and -07 “Come Heavy Sleep” was released in Benelux, december 2007 and in the rest of Europe and the US in the beginning of 2008. “Hail the Black Sky” follwed in june 2009 again through Buzzville in Europe and in the US and the touring in Europe continued.   During 2011 and 2012 the latest album “Hydra” was created and Jan Persson joined the forces on guitar when Martin left after recording the album.This album was the most intense and elborate so far and received great reviews. In march 2013 “Hydra” was released on Small Stone Records. During the summer Andreas Wulkan (Death Ray Boot etc.) replaced Janne on lead guitar.   Touring continued through 2013 and 2014 in the US and Europe. The work on a new record began and the album "Make It Belong To Us" was recorded summer 2015 again at Sunnanå Studios and produced and mixed by drummer Markus Nilsson. It became a more progressive and metal influenced record but still with the significant hooks and melodies that the band is known for.Released in November 2015 on swedish label Fuzzorama Records.   In 2016 Markus Nilsson and Markus Åkesson decided to leave the band and the new lineup, announced in august, was complete with Martin Nobel on bass, known from bands as Bad Barber, and Martin Fässberg on drums, known from Quit your dayjob, Suma a.o.

The band was brought together back in 2009. Far from the idea of playing around the world and releasing albums with international record companies, these four high school kids had no idea what was coming at them when they started rehearsing in a Paris basement.
After taking the time to evolve, Dot Legacy signed with Setalight Records to release their First Self-Titled Album in June 2014. This was then followed by several Tours across Europe and South America to achieve a total of more than a hundred concerts, giving energy wherever they could and started to build a solid fan base, spreading and growing. Playing with the likes of Blues Pills, Mars Red Sky and Truckfighters, the band fought to get a unique distinction and a special style of music.

What kind of music? Well, the term “Energy Rock” is vague enough for people to still wonder what on earth it means, and even the band itself has no idea how to define what they do, the intention is to let anyone that feels and listens put their own etiquette on Dot Legacy, or not.

The upcoming release of Dot Legacy’s second album will be on Setalight Records and will be titled: To the Others. The idea and the motion behind this album is simple: evolve and explore. Dot Legacy has had the reputation of making intricate compositions and complex forms. For this album the aim was to create a true efficiency all along the record. Composed while on Tour, the venues and tour buses were perfect places to experiment and thus create another Unique variation of what is Dot Legacy.

To support the release of "To the Others", two massive European tours are on the way: the first one with Valley of The Sun and the second one with Truckfighters across more than 35 cities.

After the recent events in their hometown Paris and around the world, these high school classmates now have one mission: spread the energy and the will to create, as one Brotherhood.
