Metalite Signs With Perception Music

Swedish modern power metal force Metalite have officially signed a worldwide contract with Perception – a division Of Reigning Phoenix Music, marking a major new milestone in the band’s rapidly ascending career. Following the signing, the band have unleashed their brand new single, "Our Time Has Come," a high-energy anthem that showcases everything fans have come to expect from Metalite: massive melodies, driving riffs, and a futuristic edge wrapped in razor-sharp production.

Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg comments: "We’re beyond excited to finally share our new single ‘Our Time Has Come’ with you. This song kicks off a powerful new chapter for Metalite and marks the beginning of our upcoming concept album, Discovery, where the story continues on a new planet and humanity begins a new life. It’s a classic Metalite track – full of high energy, soaring melodies, and that unmistakable Metalite sound. This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to take this journey together with you."
