Nanowar of Steel programmed addictive hit 'Helloworld.java' with new source code video • GRIMM Gent

Masters of comedic heavy metal NANOWAR OF STEEL strike again with their latest track, “HelloWorld.java”, a standout addition to their legacy of absurdly brilliant music. This tongue-in-cheek masterpiece merges headbanging riffs with a programmer’s worst (and funniest) nightmares. The band’s new live album, XX Years Of Steel, dropped last Friday, December 6 via Napalm Records!

Paying homage to the world of coding, “HelloWorld.java” combines sharp wit, infectious melodies, and clever references to programming culture. The lyrics, written in Java programming language, should be translated at the listener’s own risk. The brand-new song is now available on all streaming platforms and comes with a stunning source code video. Perfect for programmers who headbang and headbangers who program!

NANOWAR OF STEEL on the new single “Helloworld.java“:

“/* HelloWorld.java is the first executable song written in the ancient and
* epic java programming language.
* This is an open source song, and you can download the source code from
* our GitHub repository: * https://github.com/NanowarOfSteel/HelloWorld */”

NANOWAR OF STEEL on their album release of last Friday:

“Never in the history of NANOWAR OF STEEL has there been an album so new and so old at the same time. XX Years Of Steel combines the greatest hits of our past, performed live at Alcatraz, Milan as well as the most mediocre hits of our future: B-Sides, Covers and Re-recording of previously recorded songs. Just enough to justify a Bonus Disc which you might want to miss!”

Two decades of epic riffs, hilarious twists, and metal mayhem

With millions of cross-platform streams and views on their hilariously entertaining music videos, NANOWAR OF STEEL have captivated audiences worldwide with their multilingual talent, distinctive blend of humor and cultural insight. XX Years of Steel kicks off with a tongue-in-cheek Italian introduction that humorously reinterprets the Book of Genesis, setting the stage for a night full of metal mayhem and laughter. Fans can expect live renditions of the band’s most iconic tracks, such as “Norwegian Reggaeton”, which sees Charly Glamour (Gigatron) adding his explosive energy to the reggaeton-infused metal anthem. The crowd’s electric enthusiasm reaches its peak during “Valhalleluja”, where Odin himself (Thomas Winkler of Angus McSix) leads the charge, and during “Uranus” with fans’ chants echoing through the venue.

Adding to the excitement, XX Years of Steel introduces two brand-new tracks, including “Stormwarrior Of The Storm” and the innovative “HelloWorld.java”, inspired by the history of coding – offering a playful yet complex narrative that showcases the band’s versatility. The new offering also blends special cover versions such as popular German party hit “Das Rote Pferd”, the hilarious Iron Maiden parody “Afraid to Shoot into the Eyes of a Stranger in a Strange Land” and the sudatory “Armpits Of Immortals”, enhanced from the likes of Ross The Boss (Manowar).
