Horndal announce new album ‘The Price of Steel’
HORNDAL have announced a new album!
The Swedish metal outfit have announced their new album, The Price of Steel, which is scheduled for release on 26th February 2027 via Svart Records. The upcoming record will be the band’s fourth studio album and the follow-up to 2024’s Head Hammer Man.
On The Price of Steel, the band trace the history of the global steel industry, with each song inspired by a real-life steelworks accident from locations including Sweden, Germany, the UK, Italy, the United States, China and Australia. Featuring guest appearances from Mikael Åkerfeldt (OPETH), Andreas Hourdakis, Henrik Palm, Claes Björklund and Andreas Hogby, the album is accompanied by a novel of the same name written by vocalist Henrik Levahn.
Alongside the announcement, the band have released the album’s first single, Skinripper, featuring a guest guitar solo from Henrik Palm.
Speaking about the new track, the band says, “Skinripper tells the true story of a local steelworker who was covered in molten steel, burned alive but miraculously survived. Its title could belong to a forgotten B-movie. The horror, however, was real. Raw and relentless, with a touch of 80s DIO flair, it’s the first story from The Price of Steel, the upcoming album about brutal workplace accidents at steelworks around the world.”
