Samurai Pizza Cats release new single ‘T-Rex(plosion)’ featuring Ankor

After announcing their second full length album “Press Start” last month, Samurai Pizza Cats are unleashing with “T-Rex(plosion)” another piece of their upcoming record – with a unique guest feature by Spanish modern metal band Ankor. Both bands teamed up for the music video recording, delivering a fun dynamic with dino-sized attitude.

Samurai Pizza Cats’ second album “Press Start” will be released March 27^th, 2026, via Century Media Records. “T-Rex(plosion)” follows on the band’s prior single releases “Super Zero”,  “Pandastruck”, “Fear No Slice”, and “City of Gold”.

Samurai Pizza Cats from Castrop-Rauxel have long since ceased to be an insider tip since releasing their first self-published songs. Founded in 2021 by Daniel Haniß (Electric Callboy), Sebastian Fischer, and Stefan Buchwald (both formerly of Fall Of Gaia), the band quickly built a loyal fan base thanks to their unique sound and high-energy live performances. Since 2021, Stefan Reufer has been the bassist of the Ruhr area band and a permanent member of Samurai Pizza Cats. At the end of 2025, Robin Kemper joined the band as the new drummer, bringing fresh momentum to the Castrop-Rauxel-based lineup.
