Tungsten announce new album ‘Ashes’

TUNGSTEN have announced a brand new album!

The Swedish power metal band have revealed that their upcoming fifth studio album, Ashes, is set for release on October 9th via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music. The album follows 2024’s The Grand Inferno and continues the band’s trajectory built across previous releases including We Will Rise, Tundra, and Bliss.

To coincide with the announcement, the band have released a brand new music video for Joker, lifted from the upcoming album. Guitarist Nick Johansson says, “in 2015 I randomly stumbled across a clip of Franzl Lang. I was seriously impressed by how insanely good he was at yodeling, so I went through a short Franzl phase. Not long after that I was standing by a lake with a perfect echo and decided to try a little yodel myself. It sounded absolutely terrible, of course but, I immediately understood the technique. Since then I’ve only yodeled for fun now and then. Somehow, after almost 10 years of casual nonsense-yodeling, it has quietly improved on its own.”

Lead singer Mike Andersson adds, “Joker is a real stompy banger! I’ll never forget the reactions from our friends and partners at Reigning Phoenix Music when we played them the demo over dinner in Stuttgart. The excitement around the table was amazing.”
