Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Just a few days ahead of their upcoming tour with Tungsten and Kilmara, Induction are back with a very special release: The modern power metal outfit led by guitarist Tim Hansen has unleashed a video clip for the brand-new version of their epic anthem “Gods Of Steel,” featuring none other than Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) on guest vocals.
“Gods Of Steel” originally appeared as an exclusive track on the physical editions of Induction‘s latest album, “LOVE KILLS!”, featuring a guest appearance by Antonio Calanna (A Cold Paradise). With its massive choirs, soaring melodies and larger-than-life heavy metal spirit, the song already stood out as one of the band’s most epic compositions. For this new version, Induction are bringing one of the most influential voices and personalities in German heavy and power metal into the fold.
For Tim Hansen, the collaboration carries an additional personal significance. Not only does he consider his father’s unmistakable voice a perfect fit for a song like “Gods Of Steel,” the two also recently worked together on the new Hansen album, “Born with a Hammer”, that was released on September 18th via earMUSIC.
Tim Hansen comments:
“‘Gods Of Steel’ is probably the most epic song we’ve ever written. It has everything we love about heavy metal: huge melodies, massive choirs, energy and that larger-than-life feeling that made us fall in love with this music in the first place.
Having Kai join us for this new version takes the song to an entirely different level. Of course, for me personally, having my dad on an INDUCTION song makes this release even more special. But beyond that personal connection, there simply couldn’t be a more fitting voice and character for a song called ‘Gods Of Steel.’
We’re incredibly excited to finally unleash this version into the world. Turn it up louder than hell. This is heavy metal in its purest form!”

“Gods Of Steel” is part of Induction‘s third studio album, “LOVE KILLS!”, released on February 6, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music HERE. The record sees the band continue to expand their modern power metal sound, combining their classic heavy metal roots with progressive elements, sweeping orchestration and a cinematic production.
At the same time, “LOVE KILLS!” showcases Induction at their most versatile. Moving between hard-hitting metal anthems, soaring melodic passages and more atmospheric moments, the record explores different facets of love, passion and their darker consequences. Alongside “Gods Of Steel,” the album features tracks including “Dark Temptation,” “Steel And Thunder,” “Beyond Horizons” and the title track, “Love Kills.” “Strangers To Love” also features a guest appearance by Clémentine Delauney of Visions Of Atlantis.
Following the path established with “Born From Fire”, Induction have broadened their musical scope on “LOVE KILLS!” while adding an even more modern and cinematic dimension to their sound.
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!” marked 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.
Now, Induction will take their high-voltage shows back to the stage. Starting October 7, 2026, the band will hit the road alongside Tungsten and special guests Kilmara for the “ANTHEMS OF STEEL TOUR 2026.” The run will take the bands across Germany, Switzerland and Austria; make sure to catch this killer band package live at the following dates:
