SIXGUN RENEGADES Return with New Single ‘Hunter And The Hunted’ from Upcoming Album “Slave To The Grid”

Finnish hard rock juggernaut Sixgun Renegades returns from a hiatus with a new single, while also unveiling its revamped lineup. Hunter And The Hunted is the first single from the album Slave To The Grid, set for release in spring 2026. Shaped by internal challenges within the band, the songwriting process has given birth to an album that promises to be the most personal, bold, and powerful output of the band’s career so far, offering a depth not previously heard from the group.

As longtime bassist Miko Mattila (2013–2025) steps aside, the Helsinki–based Sixgun Renegades introduce a new member with this release: bassist Tuomas “Topo” Koskipää, replacing Mattila. Formed in 2008, the band draws its influences from the cornerstones of stadium rock, with Thin Lizzy, Van Halen, Judas Priest and Dokken at the forefront. Three years of hard work and love for music come together on the upcoming fourth album. The band’s signature sound, soaring vocal melodies, strong riffs, and powerful rhythms are more present than ever, and the songs sound better than they ever have before.

The song “Hunter And The Hunted” tells a story of the obsessive pursuit of ever-greater success and fame, achieving it, and the unhealthy ways of dealing with the side effects that come with success—ultimately spiraling to the brink of madness. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. -Niko Räty
