TORIAN

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.

Following their latest, much-acclaimed album “God Of Storms” (2018), German power metal force TORIAN has inked a worldwide label deal with Massacre Records, and returns with their brand new single, “Devilon”, opening a new chapter in the band’s history!

“We are thrilled to have found an experienced and valuable partner for our upcoming album in Massacre, who shares and lives the passion for metal with us!” The band comments. “Usually we would have signed with our blood, but since we are no longer the youngest, we need all of it for heavy and metal. Be prepared!”

The first new song in five long years immediately showcases all the classic TORIAN trademarks, yet points into a revamped direction of an upcoming full length album to be released in the not so distant future: Even more powerful, even bolder arrangements, but still straight to the point and in-your-face! The track was mixed by Alexander Thielmann at Room 14 Studio and was mastered by Orden Ogan frontman Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann at Greenman-Studios.

As the band reveals, “‘Devilon’ is about the constant ups and downs in life, about setbacks and new beginnings.” But above all, the song fully embodies the spirit of TORIAN!
