Croatian heavy metal force Speedclaw have unleashed their brand-new video for Allnighter, streaming now exclusively via the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) YouTube channel. The track marks the second preview of the band’s long-awaited debut full-length, Stardust, due for international release on November 14th via Dying Victims Productions.
Formed in 2015, Speedclaw quickly established themselves as torchbearers of raw, old-school heavy metal, with their debut Iron Speed EP (2016) and follow-up Beast in the Mist EP (2017) gaining attention for their unrelenting energy and reverence for early ’80s speed metal and NWOBHM traditions. With Stardust, the band now delivers a record that fulfills the promise of those early works, and raises the stakes.
Stardust: Old-School Steel with a Modern Bite
Clocking in at eight tracks across 33 minutes, Stardust is an electrified slab of heavy metal glory. Retaining the grit and energy of their early releases, Speedclaw expand their vision with sharper production, massive riffs, and a semi-conceptual structure. Four of the tracks, collectively dubbed the Night Side, form a narrative inspired by the band’s life on the road, while the remaining songs stand as standalone bursts of steel.
Recorded at GIS Studio in Croatia by Let 3’s Matej Zec, the album was mixed and mastered by Olof Wikstrand of Enforcer, who also makes a guest appearance on one of the tracks. The result is a record that channels the raw edge of classic heavy metal while projecting Speedclaw’s own identity and power into the future.
The video for Allnighter captures Speedclaw at full throttle, delivering their signature brand of speed-fueled heavy metal that feels tailor-made for big stages and late-night chaos. It follows the previously released single Fly High, premiered via Deaf Forever magazine.
