Masterplan Unveils New Song "Electric Nights"

Power metal legends Masterplan are pleased to unveil the new single and accompanying visualizer, "Electric Nights," taken from the upcoming new studio album, "Metalmorphosis," set for release on June 26, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.

Roland Grapow commented: "'Electric Nights' is our road anthem - loud, fast, and born for life on tour. It drops right as we are in the middle of our European tour, and it couldn’t fit better. It’s classic heavy metal - big riffs, strong energy, no bullshit. Just pure fun and power. This release is dedicated to our loyal fans: those who stand with us at every show, sing every word, and keep the flame of heavy metal alive." More...

TodoMal To Release New Album In July

TodoMal are announcing their third album and first for Season of Mist. "Graveyards Of Joy" arrives as the closing chapter of a trilogy that the atmospheric doom metal band started in 2021 with "Ultracrepidarian" and deepened in 2023 with "A Greater Good." "Graveyards Of Joy" comes out July 3, 2026 on Season of Mist.

To commemorate this announcement, today, TodoMal are releasing a music video for the album’s lead single "Point Of Coalescence." The song is a fitting entry point to "Graveyards Of Joy"; it’s dense, dark and uncompromising, dealing in shame, violence and the slow erosion of consciousness, with surreal and cosmic horror imagery that gives it an unsettling, almost theatrical edge.

Watch the music video for "Point Of Coalescence" on the Season of Mist YouTube channel or below. More...

Amberian Dawn Drops "The Vision of Dreaming" Video

Finnish symphonic metal band Amberian Dawn share a second enchantment from their new era. "The Vision Of Dreaming" is another charming glimpse into the upcoming album, "Temptation’s Gates," releases June 26, 2026 via Napalm Records, which is the band’s first with singer Nicole Willerton. The song’s poignant riff spirals right into long-term memory and first hints at the new leading lady being more than an angelic fairy gently guiding listeners through languorous realms. Symphonic metal with a modern twist, “The Vision of Dreaming” proves Amberian Dawn's thrilling dedication to their craft.

Tuomas Seppälä about "The Vision Of Dreaming":
"I originally composed ‘The Vision Of Dreaming’ back in 2021, but it truly found its final form only now as we began working on it together with our new vocalist. It represents the lighter side of the album, but it still has a nice metal bite to it. I spent a great deal of time carefully crafting its sonic atmosphere. The foundation is built largely on carefully selected analog synthesizer sounds, combined with thoughtfully detailed arrangements. There’s a clear touch of ABBA-like atmosphere in the song, yet at the same time, it has a fresh and heavier edge that makes it unmistakably part of our world."

Nicole Willerton about "The Vision Of Dreaming":
"The lyrics of ‘The Vision Of Dreaming’ are dreamy and describe the deep spiritual and emotional connection between two people. It explores how their shared memories, emotions, and dreams keep them intertwined, even when physically apart. The lyrics portray love as a bond that transcends space and time. In essence, the song describes a powerful bond connecting two people beyond the physical." More...
