Vocalist Robert Ljung on the new single:
“Heaven” is a dark and emotional song about carrying old scars into the present and learning how to face them. It’s built around heavy riffs, a massive chorus, and a lot of raw emotion. Lyrically, it’s about holding on to unresolved parts of your past but also about finding the strength to face them and move forward.”
Formed in the early 2000s in Trosa, Sweden, Adept helped shape the European metalcore scene during its formative years, quickly gaining recognition for their high-octane live shows. The band soon embarked on international headlining tours and shared stages with genre heavyweights like A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Bring Me The Horizon. First re-emerging onto the scene in 2024 with a standout live appearance at Core Fest in Stuttgart, DE, the band ignited a pervasive wave of anticipation among longtime fans. Now, with a new era underway, Adept are poised to make a thunderous impact on metalcore’s global stage.
“Heaven” is a raw and cathartic exploration of guilt, loss, and being relentlessly pursued by personal demons. Driven by fast-paced riffs, somber melodies, and crowned by a crushing breakdown, the track seamlessly weaves between piercing growls and soaring clean vocals for a dynamically intense listen. “Heaven” was produced and mixed by renowned producer Henrik Udd (Architects, Bring Me the Horizon, At the Gates), and recorded by Adept’s own Gustav Lithammer (guitar/producer) and Robert Ljung (vocals). Mastering was handled by Thomas “Plec” Johansson (Soilwork, Opeth, Scar Symmetry) at Panic Room Studios, adding the final layer of sonic precision. The result is a track that captures the raw essence of Adept—honest, intense, and unmistakably heavy.
With their fierce blend of aggression and melody, Adept return with an infectiously emotional sound. The band quickly gained recognition and headlined multiple international tours across Europe, Asia and also performed at festivals like Metaltown and Sonisphere, where they opened for Metallica. With major festival appearances across Europe and new music on the horizon, 2025 marks the beginning of an exciting new era! Make sure you don’t miss Adept live to celebrate this glorious comeback!
