Swedish titans UNLEASHED mark their territory as undisputed guardians of the death metal throne - delivering a relentless war cry with their 15th studio album, Fire Upon Your Lands, out August 15, 2025 via Napalm Records! As one of the big four of the genre, UNLEASHED strikes back with full force, fusing furious blast beats, searing explosive riffs and commanding growls on their latest neckbreaker - a sonic assault worthy of the gods, showcasing their signature battle-forged onslaught.

Return to the battlefield with their crushing new anthem "War Comes Again" - a feral war cry echoing from the gates of Valhalla, surging with apocalyptic force, and a tribute to resilience, vengeance, and the unyielding warrior spirit. The track is accompanied by an furious official music video!

UNLEASHED on "War Comes Again":

"When your enemies do their best to take everything away from you and things look as bad as they can get, you prepare for battle and face the enemy head on! This is fundamentally what being a warrior is all about. You know it's inevitable that war will come again... and again."

From the very first crushing riffs in "Left for Dead", as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, Fire Upon Your Lands plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught on "A Toast to the Fallen" while UNLEASHED create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. Meanwhile, "To My Only Son" slows only to strike deeper, it's haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. In the eclipse they summon the Midgard Warriors with "Hold Your Hammers High!", an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band's mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns.

UNLEASHED about the album:

"Fire Upon Your Lands is our 15th album in 37 years. It is also a continuation of the storyline from the World of Odalheim, where the Midgard Warriors keep fighting for their way of life against their main enemy "White Christ". We hope you appreciate this new Blot of 11 songs of pure Viking Death Metal. See you all on the road!"

With production that captures both raw energy and cinematic depth, the new album, Fire Upon Your Lands, proves again that UNLEASHED reign among the masters of death metal. Combining blistering death metal brutality with a timeless heavy metal core, their unrelenting power, storied legacy and unwavering commitment to their craft continue to inspire legions of fans across the world. Prepare for war, raise your hammers and join the battle live!
