Swedish sleaze metallers Smoking Snakes are excited to announce the release of their new studio album, “All Lights On”, out on July 10, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Following the release of the single “Pleasure And Pain”, the band share today a new track, “Broken Heart”, along with an official video.
The band commented: “Broken Heart” captures the fragile line between despair and rebirth. Through vivid imagery of darkness, desire, and destiny, the song reflects on the scars left behind by love… And the quiet strength it takes to start again. It’s both intimate and explosive, turning vulnerability into power”.

Describing the new album, Smoking Snakes stated: “NOTHING STAYS HIDDEN WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON. The shadows run, secrets surface, and every flaw, fear, and fire inside us is exposed. This album is a raw flash of truth, like the blinding light in a horror flick when the killer is revealed, or the stage lights right before the first scream of feedback”.
“There’s no place to hide. No mask to wear. No safe darkness”, they continued. “All Lights On” is where neon nightmares meet rock ‘n’ roll redemption. Electric, intense, and unfiltered, just the way it’s meant to be”.
Hailing from Gothenburg, Smoking Snakes are steadily carving out their place in the sleaze metal scene with a sound that blends attitude, melody, and raw energy. Inspired by the great arena rock bands of the 1980s, their music has evolved beyond its roots to develop a distinct and recognizable identity of its own.
A key part of their identity lies in their strong commitment to live performances. Smoking Snakes are a highly active touring band, hitting the road, playing shows, and building a direct connection with their audience. This dedication to the live circuit has allowed them to grow organically, sharpening their performance skills and expanding their fanbase step by step.
At the same time, the band continues to invest serious effort into their artistic development, working consistently to refine their songwriting and define a clear sonic direction. Their evolution reflects both persistence and a genuine passion for their craft.
Their new album, produced by Jack Stroem, captures this moment of growth perfectly. It delivers a collection of songs that balance grit and melody, showcasing a band that is becoming more confident, focused, and mature without losing its edge.
With a strong work ethic, an increasing presence on stage, and a clear vision for the future, Smoking Snakes prove themselves to be more than just an emerging act – they are a band on a steady rise, and one that fans of sleaze metal should keep a close eye on.
“All Lights On” deliver a band in perfect shape ready to take its place in the sleaze scene.
