Swedish heavy metal fans, rejoice! Your favorite band is back with a bang after a long hiatus.
Sweden's iconic heavy metal band, BULLET, is set to release their highly anticipated new album, 'Kickstarter', on January 9, 2026. This announcement marks the end of a seven-year wait since their last studio album, 'Dust To Gold' (2018).
But here's where the story gets even more intriguing: BULLET's journey to this new album has been nothing short of eventful. The band, formed in 2001 with a mission to revive the classic heavy metal sound of the late '70s and early '80s, has faced a unique challenge. After one of their recent performances, their beloved tour bus suffered a catastrophic engine explosion, leaving the band stranded without their mobile home.
And this is where BULLET's unwavering spirit shines through. Instead of seeing this setback as the end, they embraced it as a new beginning. With their own hands, they repaired the bus, showcasing the same DIY attitude that defines their music. This resilience is a testament to the band's longevity and their commitment to keeping the heavy metal flame alive.
The album's title track, 'Kickstarter', is a powerful statement of their renewed energy. As the band explains, the song's impact is immediate and undeniable. The opening snare hit and the subsequent guitar riff will leave listeners with no doubt about BULLET's intention to reignite their career.
The album 'Kickstarter' features 11 tracks, each a testament to BULLET's signature sound:
- Kickstarter
- Caught In The Action
- Open Fire
- Keep Rolling
- Hit The Road
- Avenger
- Chained By Metal
- Spitfire
- Full Throttle
- Strike At Night
- Night Falls Down
'Kickstarter' will be available in various formats, including CD digipak with a poster, LP gatefold version, and digital download.
