Mystic Prophecy announces new album “In Metal” for November 27, 2026, via Perception

German heavy metal torchbearers Mystic Prophecy have announced their brand-new studio album, “In Metal”, set for release on November 27, 2026, via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. Marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the band, the album announcement arrives alongside the release of its first single, “Robots,” accompanied by an official music video.

With more than two decades of history behind it, Mystic Prophecy has long established itself as one of the driving forces of the German and international heavy metal scene. Following the success of its acclaimed albums “Metal Division” and “Hellriot”, the quintet surrounding charismatic frontman R.D. Liapakis, also known for his work as a vocalist with Michael Schenker, now returns with renewed energy, a strengthened lineup and a record built to hit with maximum impact.

The first taste of “In Metal” comes in the shape of “Robots,” a hard-hitting statement that turns its attention to one of the defining questions of our time: In an age increasingly shaped by technology, how much control over our own humanity are we willing to surrender?

Vocalist R.D. Liapakis and Dan Baune (guitars) comment on “Robots”:

“In this age of technology our future seems uncertain. We must ask ourselves: How do we keep/protect our humanity? Who decides for us? Or is it too late and we are all Robots already?”

Following “Hellriot”, Mystic Prophecy is entering its next era with three powerful new additions to the fold. Tommy Gun takes over bass duties, while guitarist Dan Baune, known from NWOBHM act Monument, and drummer Christophe de Combe of Belgian metallers FireForce complete the renewed lineup. Together, they inject even more power, precision and fire into the unmistakable Mystic Prophecy sound.

“In Metal” was produced by Dan Baune and R.D. Liapakis, with mixing and mastering handled by Henrik Udd. The album stays true to everything that has made Mystic Prophecy a force for more than 20 years while pushing its sound firmly forward. Fans can expect powerful, concise hooks with instant shout-along appeal, technically brilliant riffs and a hard-hitting, monstrous sound. A modern production gives the songs weight, depth and unstoppable headbanging force without sacrificing the band’s classic heavy metal spirit.

Whether on stage or on record, Mystic Prophecy has always treated heavy metal as a passionate ultimate fight: no compromises, no holding back, just pure power. With “In Metal”, the band is ready to prove once again why it remains at the forefront of international heavy metal. In support of their upcoming album, Mystic Prophecy will hit the road in late 2026, joined by special guests Iron Savior and Generation Steel. Find all dates listed below!
