Swedish power metal torchbearers Tungsten continue building anticipation for their upcoming fifth studio album “Ashes”, set for release on 9 October 2026 via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music, with the launch of their brand-new single “Sunshine Of Fall.”
Following the recent releases of “Joker” and “The North Will Rise” (feat. Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica), the track offers another glimpse into the band’s next chapter, blending their trademark power metal energy with infectious melodies and modern production. The band is also preparing to hit the road later this year on a co-headline tour with Induction, joined by newly announced special guests Kilmara. Following the tour, Tungsten will embark on a string of headlining dates across Sweden and Norway.
Driven by soaring hooks, dynamic instrumentation, and the unmistakable chemistry that has become a hallmark of Tungsten‘s sound, “Sunshine Of Fall” further showcases the band’s ability to balance heaviness with melody. The result is a dynamic and uplifting anthem that showcases another facet of their ever-evolving songwriting.
Karl Johansson says, “The lyrics are inspired by autumn. I think it’s often overlooked. There’s something special about the colors, the falling leaves, and that feeling of an ending before something new begins.”
Mike Andersson adds, “It’s one of my favorite songs on the album. The melodies came together quickly and naturally. It’s a bit lighter than some of the other tracks, but it builds into a strong chorus.”

Following a strong entry into the metal scene with their 2019 debut “We Will Rise” and a steady rise through albums like“Tundra,” and “Bliss,” the band now return with a powerful new chapter. Between touring and live performances throughout 2025, Tungsten focused on writing material for their upcoming album, aiming to create a worthy follow-up to 2024’s “The Grand Inferno.”
“Ashes” sees Tungsten continue their crusade, delivering irresistible metal with anthemic choruses and a fresh surge of energy that pushes their signature sound even further. The album captures everything the band stands for: powerful songwriting, massive hooks, and a dynamic mix of melody and heaviness that makes it one of their strongest and most focused releases to date!

About Tungsten
Originally formed in 2016 by drummer Anders Johansson together with his sons Nick and Karl Johansson, Tungsten soon completed their lineup with vocalist Mike Andersson and quickly established themselves as a force in the European metal scene. With a sound rooted in classic heavy metal but sharpened by a contemporary edge, the band has built a reputation for powerful songwriting, a clear identity and relentless forward momentum, earning growing attention well beyond their Scandinavian home base.
The band has toured extensively alongside acts such as Bloodbound, Firewind, Sonata Arctica and All For Metal, and appeared at major festivals including Sweden Rock Festival, Leyendas Del Rock, Midalidare Metal Fest and Riverside Rock Fest, continuously building a strong live reputation. In July 2026, Tungsten is confirmed to perform at Germany’s RockHarz Festival, among many more live appearances in support of their much-awaited new album “Ashes”.
