THERMALITY Announces New Album – Concept 42: A New Era Begins Swedish metal powerhouse THERMALITY unleashes their most ambitious and emotionally charged record yet "Concept 42", out via Black Lodge Records.
Following the global breakout of their 2024 release The Final Hours, which dominated international metal charts and entered the official Swedish sales rankings, THERMALITY returns with a bold sonic statement. Recorded at the iconic Fredman Studios in Gothenburg, "Concept 42" marks the dawn of a new creative era—one that fuses technical mastery with raw emotional power.
This album isn’t just heavy. It’s immersive, atmospheric, and unrelenting. Each track is part of a larger conceptual journey, with standout features including:
* Sharper, more dynamic drumming
* Basslines that anchor and elevate the songwriting
* A first-ever appearance of clean vocals —adding new depth without losing their signature grit
* Guitar work that is more aggressive, expressive, and emotionally charged than ever
Years in the making, some tracks on "Concept 42" have been meticulously crafted and evolved over time, ensuring no sonic detail is left untouched. The experience is visually matched by Andreas Marschall’s haunting album artwork (Kreator, In Flames, Blind Guardian), delivering a cinematic visual to match the emotional intensity of the music.
"Concept 42" is not just an album, it’s a declaration of identity, vision, and transformation. This is THERMALITY pushing their sound to the limit— and redefining what modern metal can be.
