German hard rock veterans Jaded Heart share today the new single “We Come Alive”, along with a lyric video, the second extract of their upcoming new studio album “Toxic”, out on January 15, 2027, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band said: “We Come Alive” is a straight-ahead melodic hardrock track, driven by powerful guitars and a catchy sing-along chorus. The lyrics were written by Johan Fahlberg, while Peter Östros once again teamed up with Magnus Henriksson from Eclipse to write the music. Compared to our first single, “One By One”, “We Come Alive” has a more aggressive groove and a little more shred in the guitar solo, adding extra edge and attitude without losing the melodic core. Just like “One By One”, we feel that “We Come Alive” perfectly represents what our upcoming album Toxic is all about: melodic hard rock. Nothing more, nothing less!”
Pre-Order “Toxic” HERE
After more than four years, Jaded Heart are back with a brand-new full-length album, a powerful new chapter. “Toxic” delivers everything fans have come to expect from Jaded Heart, while keeping the songwriting fresh and focused: direct, powerful hard rock songs, massive choruses, memorable melodies and a rock-solid production that gives every track the impact it deserves.
The band stated: “With “Toxic”, we have brought together everything that we feel represents Jaded Heart: strong melodies, heavy guitar riffs, powerful vocals and the unmistakable energy of classic hard rock. From the first song to the last, the album is driven by memorable hooks and a strong balance between melody and heaviness. The album features the songs “One By One”, “We Come Alive” and “Hell Driver”, each showing a different side of “Toxic” while sharing the same strong melodic foundation that runs throughout the album.”
“The title track, “Toxic”, adds another powerful dimension to the album, combining hard-hitting guitars with the melodic approach that has always been an important part of our sound. We also wanted to look back at our own history with a brand-new acoustic version of “Remembering”, originally released on our 2016 album “Guilty By Design”. This new arrangement gives the song a completely different atmosphere and allows us to show a more intimate side of Jaded Heart”, they continued.
“Toxic” is our first full-length album in more than four years, and we are extremely proud of what we have created. It is an album packed with strong songs, powerful performances, heavy guitars and the unmistakable melodies that have always been at the heart of Jaded Heart. We are very excited to finally share “Toxic” with you. Jaded Heart is back!”
From the opening notes to the final song, the album showcases a band that knows exactly how to write great hard rock without overcomplicating things. Big guitars, strong vocals, infectious hooks and an energetic performance come together to create a record that feels immediate, authentic and built for both the stage and the speakers.
With Toxic, Jaded Heart prove that experience and passion are a powerful combination. This is the sound of a great band returning to the spotlight with some of their strongest material yet.
