Swedish Heavy Metal group Dream Evil are back seven years after their latest album SIX, to announce their seventh studio album titled Metal Gods, to be released via longtime label Century Media Records on July 26, 2024.
The first single and opening track “Metal Gods” has been revealed, alongside a video directed by Patric Ullaeus.
The band says about the new album:
Dream Evil are finally back! It has been seven years since we released our latest album SIX, so we are stoked to return with a vengeance now! The wait should not be in vain for anybody, as we are extremely happy with the outcome of all tracks on Metal Gods. It‘s a loud and clear statement for Dream Evil and a respectful nod to our influences as well as to the traditional melodic Heavy Metal movement in general. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!?
They add about the “Metal Gods” title-track and its video:
It‘s all about our Heavy Metal heroes in the past and present, a tribute to the Metal Gods who created and perfected the genre Heavy Metal. It‘s always a blast to work with Patric Ullaeus and to watch the magic he creates…Play LOUD and enjoy!
Once again featuring recording/mixing duties by the band’s guitarist Fredrik Nordström at his Studio Fredman (In Flames, At The Gates, HammerFall, Arch Enemy, Bring Me The Horizon, etc.), Metal Gods features cover artwork by Seth Siro Anton (Paradise Lost, Exodus, Rotting Christ, etc.).
It also introduces their newest line-up addition in drummer Sören Fardvik and also features guest lead guitar appearances by Jonathan Thorpenberg (The Unguided), Tommy Johansson (ex Sabaton) and Chris Amott (ex Arch Enemy / Dark Tranquillity).
