We’re so glad to bring you a unique collaboration with one of the biggest metal label. Nuclear Blast Records brings us a lot of different metal bands exploring each one different styles and themes.

A new longship, a new hammer!

Take a seat on your ship and sail through the tumultuous waters of the Norse mythological universe. But don't worry, the majestic moose will always be watching over you with this new longship skin.

Combined with the Nuclear Blast hammer, you'll be invincible! Intimidate your opponents and beat your high scores in thrilling races.



Stream as a Viking
We thought of our streamer and youtuber friends, this time the longship has a low stern that should allow you to see your whole body in Mixed Reality. We also noticed that some players prefer to drum with "light" hammers. So this new wooden hammer may look sturdy, but we focused on making it easy to use and giving you good visibility during the wild solos of these Nuclear Blast Records bands.

[h3]Let's stop talking and take a look together at all the new features of the last RAID of 2022.

A true partnership with a major music label is coming: the Nuclear Blast RAID!



This year with Ragnarock, we brought you in the mythical waters of the Hellfest Festival. You may have discovered new bands, experienced new music styles and maybe even met an angry octopus! That's why you joined the mighty power metal crew Hootforce with Gloryhammer in the first Ragnarock RAID. And now, it’s time to join us on our last adventure of the year: the Nuclear Blast RAID!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

This new and unique partnership with a metal music label is for us the opportunity to bring you several artists with very different musical styles, in the same DLC, a bit like what we did with the Hellfest RAID!

A collaboration with one of the main metal music labels has always been obvious for us. Nuclear Blast Records and Ragnarock both share similar values regarding the quality of their partnerships and their musical know-how, which are very important to us!

So, enjoy this new epic journey and drum on Nuclear Blast Records label bands such as Beast In Black, Equilibrium, Battle Beast and others.

Oh, and by the way, a good Viking never leaves without his hammers and his boat keys! So take a sneak peek at the new Nuclear Blast longship skin we designed for you in this RAID.

The hammers and the longship of this raid are inspired by the "Nuclear Blast Records" label logo.
After analyzing and splitting it up, we turned this logo into a twisted driftwood.


Here is an artwork from Suzanne, Art Director at WanadevStudio.


Meet Paulin, utilizing the next hammer in Blender for the trailer you will discover in a few days.

From this, the idea of the moose was born. Come on, can you think of more Nordic animal than the moose? We incorporated the green color as a reminder of the label's old logo. This color links the two objects, creating a perfect hammer set to intimidate opponents and set new high scores.


This is Pauline, modeling the next longship you can ride in the Nuclear Blast RAID.

We are waiting for you on Steam, Oculus & Viveport on December 15th to live this epic collaboration with us !
