Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Honest. Seasoned. Instinctive.
With “Thunderlust”, Moon Shot open an electrifying new chapter in fall 2026 – louder, bolder and clearer than ever before. The band’s third studio album will be released in autumn 2026 and marks the next major step for a group that is no longer searching for its path, but has fully found it.
They say the third album is the hardest. For Moon Shot, it became a process of openness, scars – and ultimately, absolute clarity. After the raw force of “The Power”, the band returns sharpened and united. The honeymoon phase is over. What remains is a tight unit forged by hundreds of club shows and festivals across Europe.
“Thunderlust” captures exactly that energy: a sound like a worn leather jacket – familiar, yet tougher, with edges and attitude. Their “21st Century Rock” doesn’t chase trends. It combines the punch of classic rock, the urgency of punk and the intensity of alternative – always rooted in the here and now.
Moon Shot are, at their core, a live band. On stage, their songs shed their skin and take on a life of their own – something you simply can’t fake. If “The Power” was a sledgehammer, “Thunderlust” is a journey: intense, colorful and unapologetically sincere.
To celebrate the release, Moon Shot will take the new album on the road in fall 2026. The Thunderlust Tour 2026 promises direct, unfiltered encounters between band and audience.
Tour Dates:
Fans will not only be able to secure their tickets early – they can also grab the new album “Thunderlust” as part of an exclusive Ticket + Album Bundle at a special early-bird price.
The twist:
The album is available as a blind pre-order, long before its official release – on CD or vinyl. A special offer for those who trust the band and want to be part of the journey before the first official riff is revealed.
Last Friday, Moon Shot released the first single from the upcoming album: “No Walls.” The track is a powerful statement about connection and trust in an increasingly divided world. Driven by a distinctive groove, raw rock energy and a massive sing-along chorus, the song blends intensity with emotional depth.
Guitarist Jussi Ylikoski calls it “a massive sing-along anthem with a message and melody fit for a king,” while frontman Ville Malja describes it as “a loud statement for unity in dark times.”
