Tailgunner unleash new single “Tears In Rain”

UK heavy metal torchbearers TAILGUNNER have unleashed their brand-new single “Tears in Rain”, now available worldwide. The track delivers a powerful taste of the band’s upcoming debut album Midnight Blitz, set for release on February 6th, 2026 via Napalm Records.

The official video, directed and produced by Andy Pilkington of Very Metal Art, captures Tailgunner’s raw energy and classic heavy metal spirit.

Legendary Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing has praised the band:

“TAILGUNNER is a band we should have seen emerge years ago from the UK. They personify everything that is heavy metal… Their energy and rawness, together with their brand of metal, incorporates all of the godfathers and much more. The band has a youthful freshness and a uniqueness that will no doubt elevate them to being a true Metal favourite of the fans.”

Tailgunner about “Tears In Rain”:
‘Lost in time, like Tears in Rain…’ The most iconic monologue in cinematic history, and one of most legendary on-screen moments of the 80s. ‘Blade Runner’ has been a focal point throughout writing our new album, and none more so than here, on our new single ‘Tears in Rain’. Carrying a chorus for the ages, this is a track we can’t wait to take out on the road and have you sing with us, deep into the night. Made for those moments where the light fades and things get that little more epic, ‘Tears in Rain’ is an all-time anthem, here for the modern day.
