• Formed 2021 in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, Samurai Pizza Cats are returning with their second album “Press Start”. The record follows on the band’s debut album “You’re Hellcome”, released in 2023. The quartet, which takes their name from a 1990s anime series, quickly established themselves in the metalcore scene through their blend of metalcore, and trancecore elements – with a portion of irony and funny, yet witful lyrics at the core of their sound. Signed to Century Media Records in early 2025, their new record stands out through its playful story of entering a game with its own characters, which truly come to life through the album's artwork. From dinosaurs, penguins to pizza-eating aliens, “Press Start” shines with a playful, comic-styled concept, creating a unique world to be explored.
• While the band doesn't shy away from characters that visually scream cute, their music is filled with heavy breakdowns that keep up the playful matter while each song creates its own chapter. Through the (anti-) hero anthem “Superzero” as well as the party heavy “Panderstruck”, the band invites to let loose, chaotic energy paired with witful, fun lyrics. Calmer, sing-along moments are created with “City of Gold”, which almost feels like the closing chapter before the band brings back “Pizza Homicide”, reimagined with DJ STVW (playfully placed after the outro “Thanks for Playing” – an encore for the album itself). “Press Start” would be no complete story without guest appearances: Featuring artists Ankor (“T-Rex(plosion)”), BABYBEARD (“Ramen-Man”), and STVW (“Pizza Homicide STVW Version”) add their extra flavor to the record, leveling up the charm through their own style.
• A breakdown-filled journey with the perfect amount of world creation: Samurai Pizza Cats invite to play with “Press Start”, to be released via Century Media Records.
• The album will be available as Standard CD Jewelcase & as Ltd. pink-lilac splatter LP & LP-Booklet.
