Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
After the previously released single “Love Kills” – the album title track of their forthcoming, much-awaited studio offering – power metal frontrunners Induction have shared a music video for the furious new single “Steel And Thunder“! The song is a thunderous tribute to the epic sci-fi classic “Terminator”, infused with gritty energy and futuristic darkness, blending crushing guitar riffs with cinematic intensity.
“Seriously… who doesn’t love the Terminator series? “Steel And Thunder” is our tribute to exactly that,” says Induction guitarist and songwriter Tim Kanoa Hansen. “Terminator played a huge role in shaping my love for sci-fi and continues to inspire Induction both visually and musically. I think this song really captures that vibe. Crank it up and see for yourself, but don’t blame me if it feels like Judgment Day in your living room, and Skynet breathing down your neck.

Following a storm of milestones, including a series of live dates supporting the legendary Savatage, a frenetically acclaimed debut at Wacken Open Air, and the release of fan-favorite singles “Beyond Horizons” and “Dark Temptation”, Induction are firing on all cylinders..
Crafted at Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, the new album was produced by Tim Kanoa Hansen, and was mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with the guitarist. “LOVE KILLS!” marks the beginning of a new era for Induction, defined by musical evolution, emotional depth, and a fearless drive to push the boundaries of modern power metal!
“For me, this album carries a lot of raw and personal emotion”, Tim recently shared. “Life always moved forward, and even in the darkest times, love always found its way back. With LOVE KILLS! we explore the beauty and cruelty of love in a futuristic power metal context. It’s Induction at our biggest, boldest, and most fun yet.”
“LOVE KILLS!” will be released on February 6, 2026 via powerhouse label Reigning Phoenix Music. Pre-Save / Pre-Order the album now at: https://induction.rpm.link/lovekillsPR
