All for Metal and singer Antonio Calanna are going their separate ways. Antonio is leaving the band to focus fully on his solo career with „A Cold Paradise“. We thank Antonio for the time we spent together, his dedication, and many powerful moments, and wish him all the best for the future.
At the same time, All For Metal are looking ahead: effective immediately, the band is beginning the search for a new voice—a singer (male or female) who not only convinces vocally, but also fits the image and energy of All for Metal on a personal and visual level. The band is looking for a real stage personality: charismatic, present, close to the audience, and with the hunger to make every show an experience.
In search for:
A distinctive, powerful rock/metal voice with recognition value
Strong stage presence and a genuine “front animal” attitude
Identification with the style and image of All for Metal
Professionalism, team spirit, and availability for rehearsals, studio work, and live performances
Applications (including a short introduction, photos, links to live/video recordings, and demos if available) should be sent to: contact@allformetal.com
All for Metal would like to thank all fans for their support and look forward to sharing more news about the next chapter of the band soon.

Warrior horde ALL FOR METAL are definitely among the hottest current acts of the metal circus: Within a short period of time, they’ve released two studio albums (with their sophomore album “Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon)” hitting position 12 of the official German album chart!) and played countless shows in several countries. Evening after evening, ALL FOR METAL gained new fans performing strongly alongside other leading bands of the genre such as WINDROSE, LORDI, ORDEN OGAN, and most recently DIRKSCHNEIDER. But now it’s time for the group to step up: in autumn 2025, ALL FOR METAL will return to European stages as headliners. GRAILKNIGHTS, a collective of superheroic musicians, will be joining the line-up of the tour as co-headlining act. And those who were attentive at school should know: where forces collide, the result is nothing but a big bang – in this case sonic fireworks! Aptly titled “Battle Of Metal,” this tour is not to be missed by heavy/power metal worshippers and all those eager to witness a clash of two highly entertaining bands. Better sharpen your swords & get your tickets!
ALL FOR METAL state: “Today, we’re more than proud to announce our first co-headline tour with the mighty GRAILKNIGHTS! Thank you for all your heavy support on the road, the countless amazing talks at the merch booth, and the beautiful energy you always spread at our shows! We promised to return with our full metal package and so we shall see each other again this autumn across Europe! It’s ALL FOR METAL and METAL FOR ALL!”

The festive season is just around the corner, and 2024 has been nothing short of a celebratory year for ALL FOR METAL. This year marked the release of their second hit album, “Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon),” on August 23 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), along with numerous shows across Europe. Before taking their final bow of the year in late December, the band are thrilled to present a Christmas-themed music video to bring extra holiday cheer to the metal community. A must-watch for every Christmas Eve party – guaranteed to rock your holidays!
Guitarist Jasmin “Jassy” Pabst jubilates: “We’re celebrating the end of the year and Christmas time with all of you by unveiling our final music video of 2024: Santa Tetzel is coming to town! But did everyone behave well to even deserve this special present?”
“Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that Santa Tetzel won’t deliver you coal this year!” grins ‘vocal elf’ Antonio Calanna.
Those who’ve been good can now enjoy ‘All For Metal Is Coming To Town’ and join the band’s music video feast here:
As mentioned, ALL FOR METAL didn’t only visit one but many towns all over the continent this year. A definite highlight was their performance at “Adunata – Feudalesimo e Libertà” near Milan, Italy in May, and to hype up metalheads worldwide for their forthcoming performances — including an 8-date German tour alongside ORDEN OGAN and ANGUS McSIX as well as appearances at renown festivals such as Metalfest Open Air (CZ), Bloodstock Open Air (UK), and Motocultor Festival (FR) among others — the band have recently launched their full Adunata performance on YouTube.
Vocalist Tetzel states: “Our very first festival gig in Italy has been captured for eternity in the form of this video! It was a magical experience that we simply had to share with you! It’s the same procedure as usual: It’s ALL FOR METAL – and METAL FOR ALL!”
Jassy adds: “Such a special event with an even more special atmosphere! It’s been to pleasure to record one of our concerts for the very first time there. Kudos to everyone involved! But what’s even more important: We’re bringing ALL FOR METAL to the living rooms of all those who couldn’t witness our live energy so far. It’s not a life-sized but a full experience for all of you.”
“It took us five months to prepare this show, because we wanted to deliver ALL FOR METAL directly to the homes of our fans – and now you can find out what to expect when you come to one of our shows! See you on the road!” raves Calanna.

Their latest opus “Gods Of Metal (Year Of The Dragon),” which was released on August 23, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), has set new standards in the ALL FOR METAL universe. Powered by an explosive creative force and packed with fan-favorite new tracks, the band embarked on a sweeping European tour. The album made waves across multiple countries, notably breaking into the top 15 of the official German album chart, solidifying their growing dominance.
ALL FOR METAL want to thank their loyal fans by inviting them to their very own ‘Temple Of Silence’ with a brand new video.
Guitarist Jasmin “Jassy” Pabst, who also produced the new video, comments: “We’re looking back on a great year! One year of sharing the stage as a band, two fabulous European tours and many wonderful festival performances are behind us – and every time we could see your happily grinning faces in front of us! This video is an homage to all of you out there, our fans. ‘In the temple of silence, let the fire grow’: Let us burn together in the name of metal and remember all these remarkable moments we’ve shared. It’s ALL FOR METAL and METAL FOR ALL!”
Vocalist Tetzel adds: “The year 2024 isn’t even over yet, but it’s unbelievable what we’ve experienced so far – especially thanks to our supporters! We’ve played many successful shows, and with this video we would like to express our gratitude to all of you by remembering these great gatherings together. Let’s make the next year another one packed with ALL FOR METAL – and METAL FOR ALL!”
‘Temple Of Silence’ additionally raises the excitement for ALL FOR METAL‘s next European run alongside label mates ORDEN OGAN in early 2025.
On their next touring adventure Tetzel adds: “I will finally hit the road with my big brother. It’s very special for us to support ORDEN OGAN, and up-and-comers ANGUS McSIX. Together we build one of the strongest imaginable power metal touring packages coming out of Germany. If you miss these dates, shame on you, because they’ll be one for the books!”
Jassy promises: “It’s gonna be a blast! Dark power metal from our friends in ORDEN OGAN meets fantasy metal delivered by ANGUS McSIX and your good selves! We’re already looking forward to these shows and, of course, to challenge these revenging gunmen and laser-shooting dinosaurs!”
