Swedish hard rock powerhouse Creye have released the new single and official video, “Rust”, taken from their upcoming new studio album, “IV Aftermath”, out on April 24, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band said: “Rust” is the definitive single we knew we needed all throughout, while making the new album. As irony would have it, it was one of the last songs to get written but also the one that took the least amount of time to write. It has that perfect balance between a gritty low-key verse and a powerful chorus”.
