German power metal force TORIAN have announced the release of their new studio album “The Lost Legion Rising”, set to be unleashed on May 8, 2026 via Massacre Records. The album will be available as Mediabook, Vinyl and digital.

As a first taste of the upcoming record, the band has released the single and official music video “Soul Vampires”. The song is about emotional parasites and the fight to take back what was stolen – your strength, your clarity, your soul. The track moves through driving, anthemic and solemn passages, reflecting the multi-layered lyrical theme. Built around a powerful, fist-raising chorus, the song perfectly captures the renewed energy and sharpened songwriting approach of the band.

With their fifth studio album “The Lost Legion Rising”, TORIAN present themselves with a revamped sound and some of the strongest material of their career to date. Rooted in European power metal and influenced by US metal and thrash, the album combines precision, melody and intensity – always with a strong sense for memorable hooks.

The songwriting is more diverse and straight to the point than ever before. From fast-paced tracks like “Warpriest” to anthemic highlights such as “Soul Vampires” and the epic closing piece “Katharsis”, the album showcases a band that sounds heavy, melodic and focused.

“The Lost Legion Rising” was produced and mixed by Alexander Thielmann at Room 14 Studio and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann (Orden Ogan) at Greenman Studio, ensuring a powerful and crisp sound that fully represents the band’s dynamic range.
