Greek heavy rock powerhouse VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY have revealed the cover art and title of their upcoming studio album, “Venceremos”, set for release in Spring 2026 via Napalm Records.
“We’ve been silent, off the stage and out of sight for over a year. But there was a reason for the silence, every bit of focus, energy, and fire went into the creation of our new album”, the band reveals.
“We’re delighted to share that the recordings are nearly finished. The new album is set to rise in Spring 2026 via Napalm Records, but we couldn’t wait to reveal the cover, featuring stunning artwork once again crafted by Fotis Varthis and a layout designed by Ilias ‘SpyOne’ Tsafaras. And its title… ‘Venceremos’. Stay tuned. The storm is coming… release date, pre-orders, and more exciting news soon. The quest is one, the name is Freedom”.
