Swedish titans Unleashed mark their territory as undisputed guardians of the death metal throne – delivering a relentless war cry with their highly anticipated 15th studio album, “Fire Upon Your Lands”, out August 15, 2025 via Napalm Records! As one of the big four of the genre, Unleashed strikes back with full force, fusing furious blast beats, searing explosive riffs and commanding growls on their latest neckbreaker – a sonic assault worthy of the gods, showcasing their signature battle-forged onslaught.
 
Return to the battlefield with their crushing new anthem “War Comes Again” – a feral war cry echoing from the gates of Valhalla, surging with apocalyptic force, and a tribute to resilience, vengeance, and the unyielding warrior spirit. The track is accompanied by an furious official music video!
 
Unleashed on “War Comes Again”:

When your enemies do their best to take everything away from you and things look as bad as they can get, you prepare for battle and face the enemy head on! This is fundamentally what being a warrior is all about. You know it’s inevitable that war will come again… and again.

Watch the Official Music Video for “War Comes Again” HERE:

From the very first crushing riffs in “Left for Dead”, as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, “Fire Upon Your Lands” plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught on “A Toast to the Fallen” while Unleashed create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. Meanwhile, “To My Only Son” slows only to strike deeper, it’s haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. In the eclipse they summon the Midgard Warriors with “Hold Your Hammers High!”, an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band’s mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns.
