Author Benedetta Baldin - 18.6.2025

Swedish heavy metal unit Ambush has unleashed the second single from their upcoming Napalm Records debut “Evil In All Dimensions”, out September 5, 2025! The powerful 80s metal inspired anthem “Maskirovka” features one of vocalist Oskar Jakobssons best performances so far. The track’s mid-tempo groove is enriched by stellar production, personifying the difficulty of standing up for truth in a world shaped by manipulation.

Formed in 2013, Ambush quickly became a staple of the Swedish metal scene. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Judas Priest, Accept, and Iron MaidenAmbush’s unique blend of traditional metal with a modern edge has earned them dedicated fans around the globe, proven by the band’s recent Latin American tour. The Swedes emerged from the underground scene landing performances at Europe’s most prestigious old school metal festivals like Muskelrock and tours as a fan-favorite next to heroes like Enforcer and Cobra Spell.

Ambush about the new single “Maskirovka”:

In times where every source of information is corrupted, twisted and torn to fit the narrative – where black and white is blurred to grey. Will each one of us make a stand for what we believe is right? Will we defend dignity and freedom over authoritarianism? When met with Maskirovka – will humanity fall for the trick or call the bluff?

”Evil in All Dimensions” is undeniable proof of Ambush’s unwavering passion and talent for the genre. Now, with Napalm Records as their partner, they are primed to take the world by storm. Ambush wield an arsenal of of 80s metal prowess: with whipping drums, sharp guitars, and high-pitched vocals, “Come Angel of Night” explores themes of reconciliation when the damage seems irreversible, culminating in a soaring solo that highlights the band’s musical power. Bassist Oskar Andersson hypnotizes listeners with his infectious grooves in the brooding “The Night I Took Your Life”, while “Maskinovka” features an anthemic, standout performance from vocalist Oskar Jakobssons. The track’s mid-tempo groove personifies the difficulties of standing up for truth in a world shaped by manipulation. 
 
In addition to their undeniable talent to revive fast and glorious 80s headbangers, the Swedes also surprise with the gripping power ballad “I Fear the Blood”. A song to pump your fist to, vacillating between themes of escapism and self destruction, amidst the battle against one’s inner demons.  Founder Oskar Jakobssons screams his soul out in this heavy-hearted and honest masterpiece, which creates the perfect moment to wave your lighters in the air, passionately belting along.

We are stoked to unveil Evil In All Dimensions – our long awaited 4th album. For us the album feels like a new dawn where everything is possible and steel rules the world. We regard it as the proudest moment in our hellbent strive for Heavy Metal mastery, and we hope that you guys will appreciate it!
