• AFTER INFINITY Unveils Single “Everlasting Mark” ft. Guest Vocals Sara Strömmer (Shereign) From New Album "Beyond Eternity" Out Oct 2026

  Aug 4, 2026 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Finnish melodic metal act After Infinity release their new single “Everlasting Mark”, featuring guest vocalist Sara Strömmer of Shereign.

  The track offers a heavier, more intense perspective on the band's upcoming sophomore album, "Beyond Eternity," due for release on October 23rd, 2026, via Rockshots Records.

  Following the bright, synth-driven energy of previous single “Infinite Feeling”, “Everlasting Mark” balances driving melodies with a heavier edge, further expanding the musical spectrum explored across "Beyond Eternity".

  Sara Strömmer's performance plays a central role in shaping the track's character. Her vocals shift from soft and clean passages to aggressive and brutal delivery, emphasizing the contrasts within the composition and reinforcing its balance between melodic accessibility and heavier expression.

  Guitarist and songwriter Zsolt Szilagyi comments:

  "This song has a lot of cool musical elements: the interplay of synth & guitar in the main riff, some nice bass lines in the verses, and the extraordinary vocals of Sara Strömmer, who showcases her wide range of styles from soft and clean to aggressive and brutal."

  Founded in 2022 by Dreamtale and Frozen Factory guitarist Zsolt Szilagyi, After Infinity blend melodic power metal, heavy metal and progressive influences with layered orchestration, rich synthesizers and dynamic songwriting.

  "Beyond Eternity" builds upon the foundations established by the band's 2024 self-titled debut, moving between fast-paced power metal, heavier progressive compositions, atmospheric interludes and piano-led ballads with each song fulfilling a distinct role within the album.

  The record brings together an extensive cast of guest vocalists, including Paolo Ribaldini, Aitor Arrastia, Nitte Valo, Mika Tauriainen, Leonard F. Guillan and Sara Strömmer, while maintaining a cohesive musical identity anchored by Szilagyi's songwriting.

  Produced by Zsolt Szilagyi, "Beyond Eternity" features orchestrations and synthesizers by Gideon Ricardo and bass performances by Ville Koskinen. Most of the album, including “Everlasting Mark”, was mixed by Benjamin Connelly for Duskswitch Production, while mastering was handled by Jasse Kesti at Kesthouse.

• AFTER INFINITY Shares Uplifting New Single “Infinite Feeling” From Upcoming Album "Beyond Eternity" Out Fall 2026

  Jun 9, 2026 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Finnish melodic metal act After Infinity continues the journey toward their upcoming album "Beyond Eternity" with the release of the new single "Infinite Feeling", accompanied by an official visualizer.

  Following the heavy riffs and themes of rebellion explored on the previous single "King With No Crown", the band now reveals a brighter and more uplifting side of its musical identity. Featuring guest vocalists Nitte Valo (Dreamtale, ex-Battle Beast) and Leonard F. Guillan (ex-King Company), "Infinite Feeling" combines energetic melodies, driving rhythms, and an irresistible synth-driven hook, showcasing another facet of the stylistic diversity that defines "Beyond Eternity".

  Conceived and led by guitarist and songwriter Zsolt Szilagyi, After Infinity's sophomore album expands upon the foundations of the band's 2024 debut, exploring the intersection of power metal, heavy metal and progressive metal while maintaining a strong melodic core. While the album embraces a wide emotional spectrum, "Infinite Feeling" stands as one of its most uplifting moments.

  Commenting on the new single, Zsolt Szilagyi states:

  "Infinite Feeling is an ode to the eccentric and perhaps neurodivergent artists who aren't afraid of being 100% who they are. Even if they might have extra struggles in their daily life, they make it up by giving extra deep feelings into their lives and the lives of people around them. It's a happy and energetic song driven by a synth riff that makes your head bob, like it or not."

  The song celebrates individuality, creativity, and self-expression, paying tribute to those who embrace their uniqueness and transform it into something meaningful. Musically, it balances catchy melodic sensibilities with the layered arrangements and dynamic songwriting that characterize the band's approach.

  With the release date now confirmed for October 23rd, 2026, "Infinite Feeling" offers another glimpse into the diverse musical landscape of "Beyond Eternity". The album follows closely in the footsteps of the band's debut, combining heavy riffs, memorable melodies, and rich orchestral arrangements while pushing further into progressive territory. Across its nine tracks and six guest vocalists, the record delivers a constantly evolving listening experience without losing its distinctive identity.

  Rather than relying on a fixed vocalist, After Infinity has built the project around a collaborative concept, allowing each song to develop its own character while remaining part of a cohesive artistic vision. This approach once again plays a central role in "Beyond Eternity", where every guest performer contributes a unique voice and perspective to the album's narrative.

  Produced by Zsolt Szilagyi, with orchestrations by Gideon Ricardo and bass performances by Ville Koskinen, the album combines powerful songwriting with carefully crafted arrangements, balancing immediacy and complexity throughout its running time.

  Canadian heavy metal force Thunderor, fronted by JJ Tartaglia (vocals, drums, Skull Fist) and Jonny Nesta (guitar, ex-Skull Fist), alongside Brycen Gunn on bass, are igniting excitement with their high-octane new single “Pump Up The Volume.” The track offers the first glimpse of their forthcoming sophomore album, "Bleed For It," slated for release at the end of March 2026. With their trademark fusion of Arena Rock Opera Heavy Metal, Thunderor deliver soaring vocals, massive choruses, and uplifting energy designed to inspire fans to live boldly and chase their dreams.

  The single also doubles as the opening number from Thunderor The Musical, the band’s ambitious rock opera, which premiered at the Toronto Fringe Festival 2025. Featuring a cameo from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow in the promotional clip, the track sets the tone for an album that promises both fun and depth.
  ​
  ​“This one is a lot of fun. Turn up the music, pump up your life, Pump Up The Volume! It’s also the opening number for the Musical, and it sets the mood nicely. Although the rest of the album ventures to many different places. Special thanks to Olivia Chow and the City of Toronto for her cameo in the promo clip, super cool.” – JJ Tartaglia.

The upcoming album is a concept record, serving as the official soundtrack to Thunderor The Musical. Fans can expect a journey through uplifting themes of love, struggle, and perseverance, all wrapped in the band’s trademark high-energy sound.
