Battles, resilience and the defence of freedom shape Leyendas, the new CRUZADA album scheduled for January 22, 2027, through Art Gates Records. The release coincides with the band's 40th anniversary and brings together a classic heavy metal sound and style with a modern edge.
The announcement describes a record whose stories move through wisdom and shared values alongside hope, fulfilled dreams and uncertain destinies. Those themes extend the band's established lyrical interests in resilience, honour, commitment and everyday struggles.
Founded between 1985 and 1986 with the aim of writing original material, CRUZADA developed their approach around powerful riffs and classic melodies. Their supplied biography places that songwriting focus at the centre of a career spanning decades on stage.
The band's earlier album, Titanes, established another chapter in their Spanish-language heavy metal catalogue. The announcement presents Leyendas as a continuation informed by that experience, retaining the energy and musical identity CRUZADA have developed over four decades.
The lineup consists of Franky on vocals and guitar, Paco Metal on guitar, Cristian on bass and Marc on drums. With Leyendas, the four-piece continue their work in heavy metal alongside Art Gates Records.
