Also our split 7" with Legionnaire is now out through the Gates of Hell (literally). High Roller, Forgotten Wisdom and probably some others have it in stock as well.

Impressive! I've only played it once but it sounds even better than the first one.
Is it going to be released in any kind of physical format?

We're planning a small tape edition but this demo is mostly preparation for the first full-length! Everything has certainly got a bit tighter after all the rehearsing and gigs that followed the first mini-album.

Well the split was recorded already in mid-September, there were some delays with the artwork and layout.

Since we've been on the roll with the news recently, here's some more:

CHEVALIER “A CALL TO ARMS” FINALLY ON VINYL
Gates of Hell Records is proud to announce the release of Chevalier - FIN’s “A Call To Arms” on MLP!

Relentless, uncompromising, raw speed metal from Finland influenced by US epic/power metal and Euro metal (French speed metal in particular).
Medieval melodies united to fast riffing, tons of blitzkrieg guitar solos and leads, tight bass and drumming and powerful vocals by Emma Grönqvist, will appeal to fans of ADX, Brocas Helm, Acid, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden and obscure, old school Heavy Metal. An unpolished recording, done at the rehearsal room, places this band out of time. Such music needs to be heard on vinyl!

“A Call To Arms” will be released by Gates of Hell Records on April 27 on VINYL, featuring specific remastering and revamped layout by Annick Giroux. The MLP comes with insert with lyric and exclusive promo photograph!

First time listening to this, and it's very good. While it's obviously trying to ape the 80s sound, it doesn't feel gimmicky or forced. Congratulations on accomplishing what so many have tried and failed.
