New Album “Thorn” Out May 15th, 2026 via Rockshots Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Italian heavy metal band Heavenfall<\/strong> officially releases their new studio album \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d today (May 15th) via Rockshots Records<\/strong>, marking the culmination of a creative journey that has progressively revealed the band\u2019s most mature, introspective, and emotionally layered work to date. To celebrate the release, the band also unveils the official stop-motion video for \u201cThe Wind Chimes Garden<\/strong>\u201d, one of the album\u2019s most atmospheric and emotionally resonant compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Across its eleven tracks, \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d moves beyond traditional heavy metal formulas in favor of a more fluid and emotionally connected songwriting style. The album retains a strong riff-oriented foundation, but compositions evolve through layered guitar work, carefully shaped dynamics, and continuous interplay between aggression and atmosphere. Faster songs deliver immediacy and impact, while slower and mid-tempo passages introduce darker grooves and more reflective tonalities that reinforce the album\u2019s introspective core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The guitar work remains central throughout the entire record, alternating between incisive rhythmic patterns and expressive melodic phrasing. Rather than functioning as mere embellishment, lead guitars actively reinforce the emotional direction of each composition. Tracks such as \u201cMidnightingale<\/strong>\u201d reveal a more fragile and melancholic side of the band through bittersweet harmonic development and nuanced arrangements. At the same time, the closing suite \u201cStramonium<\/strong>\u201d expands the album\u2019s progressive scope without sacrificing cohesion or narrative flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lyrically, \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d explores emotional fragmentation, self-confrontation, and the lingering psychological weight carried through life experiences. The album title itself symbolizes the emotional splinter that remains embedded within the individual, continuously shaping perception, memory, and identity. Rather than relying on abstract symbolism alone, Heavenfall<\/strong> maintains a direct yet poetic lyrical approach, allowing themes of disillusionment, emotional isolation, and self-deception to emerge with both personal intimacy and universal resonance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coinciding with the album release, Heavenfall<\/strong> now premieres the official stop-motion video for<\/strong> \u201cThe Wind Chimes Garden<\/strong>\u201d. One of the album\u2019s most evocative moments, the song explores emotional withdrawal and the fragile balance between protection and freedom. Built around ethereal melodies, melancholic atmospheres, and a deeply introspective lyrical perspective, the track perfectly embodies the emotional depth and artistic direction that define \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The production of \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d further strengthens the album\u2019s identity through a sound approach focused on clarity, depth, and dynamic balance. Produced by the band with drums recorded by Maurizio Cardullo at Crono Sound Factory and mixing and mastering handled by Davide Tavecchia<\/strong> at Twilight Studio<\/strong>, the album delivers a powerful yet highly detailed sonic impact. Guitars remain articulate and harmonically rich without losing aggression; the rhythm section preserves both precision and depth; and vocals maintain expressive nuance and emotional immediacy throughout the listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d was recorded by Dest (vocals), Pave and Gi\u00f2 (guitars), Nick (bass), and Panta (drums), while the current live line-up continues to translate the same intensity and emotional connection onto the stage. Throughout the years, Heavenfall<\/strong> has shared stages with bands such as Q5, Domine, Elvenking,<\/em> and Crying Steel<\/em>, steadily building a reputation grounded in consistency, authenticity, and strong audience engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Positioned between the dramatic intensity of Nevermore, the riff-driven power of Iced Earth, and the narrative sensibility of Savatage, \u201cThorn<\/strong>\u201d stands as Heavenfall<\/strong>\u2019s most complete and emotionally focused work to date, a deliberate, cohesive, and enduring heavy metal album shaped by artistic maturity, compositional discipline, and emotional authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the official music video: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?

The 2017 EP “The Besiders<\/strong>” confirmed the band\u2019s steady growth, highlighting a more mature compositional approach and a stronger inclination toward introspective and emotionally layered songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A consistent live presence has played a key role in the band\u2019s development. Heavenfall<\/strong> is known for delivering intense and engaging performances, built on direct interaction with the audience. Over the years, they have shared the stage with established acts such as Q5, Domine, Elvenking, and Crying Steel, strengthening their position within the European heavy metal circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2026, the band will release their new full-length album “Thorn<\/strong>” via Rockshots Records, marking a further step in their artistic evolution. The record reflects a natural progression toward a heavier, more introspective and structurally refined sound, consistent with the trajectory the band has been shaping since its early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now active for over two decades, Heavenfall<\/strong> stands as a cohesive and experienced act whose path has been defined by continuity, stylistic coherence, and a clear commitment to their own vision of heavy metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEVEN METAL SINS Unveils New Video \u201cEternal Downfall\u201d From New Album “Legacy Of Chaos” Out June 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n French heavy metal force Seven Metal Sins<\/strong> return with \u201cEternal Downfall<\/strong>\u201d, the new single taken from the band\u2019s forthcoming debut album “Legacy Of Chaos<\/strong>“, set for release in June 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the release of \u201cHypocrisy<\/em>\u201d and the recent unveiling of \u201cWolves Of The Last Dawn<\/strong>\u201d, the new track further consolidates the band\u2019s uncompromising approach to heavy and power metal, combining razor-sharp riffing, commanding vocals, and an atmosphere fueled by tension, urgency, and raw intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Formed in 2024 by former Manigance<\/em> rhythm section St\u00e9phane Lacoude<\/em> and Patrick Soria<\/em>, Seven Metal Sins<\/strong> was born from the desire to return to a more direct, personal, and aggressive vision of metal songwriting. The lineup was later completed by guitarist Antton Iriart<\/em>, vocalist Claw-G<\/em>. and guitarist Fred Auclerc<\/em>, forging a sound rooted in classic heavy metal, power metal, and old-school speed metal traditions while embracing a sharper contemporary edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lyrically, \u201cEternal Downfall<\/strong>\u201d perfectly reflects the dystopian and socially conscious vision at the core of “Legacy Of Chaos<\/strong>“. Inspired by environmental collapse, authoritarianism, greed, and humanity\u2019s destructive trajectory, the band channels its frustration and rage into a heavy metal framework enriched by dark futuristic imagery and apocalyptic undertones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The band describes its sound as \u201cpowerful – strong – heavy – sharp – huge\u201d, delivering \u201cpure, hard-hitting metal in the vein of cult bands that have marked different eras\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Produced by Seven Metal Sins<\/strong>, “Legacy Of Chaos<\/strong>” was mixed by J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Garat<\/strong> at Reseda Prod<\/strong> and mastered by Simon Capony<\/strong> at Basalte Studio<\/strong>, while the album artwork and layout were created by Marco Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen<\/strong>: https:\/\/lnk.to\/S8kIrX<\/a>\u200b New album \u201cLegacy Of Chaos<\/strong>\u201d out June 5th, 2026, from Rockshots Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRE ORDER<\/strong> “Legacy Of Chaos<\/strong>“: https:\/\/rockshots.eu\/products\/ First Single – Wolves Of The Last Dawn <\/strong>– https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?

Heavenfall<\/strong> was formed in 2003 by four teenage friends united by a shared urgency to express themselves through heavy music. What started as a raw and instinctive project, built with limited means but strong determination, gradually evolved into a defined artistic identity rooted in classic heavy and thrash metal, enriched by darker and more introspective elements. From the outset, the band focused on developing a personal sound rather than adhering strictly to genre conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
