Power metal visionaries Induction continue their unstoppable rise with the release of the electrifying title track and video for “Love Kills”, taken from their forthcoming studio album “Love Kills”, due out on February 6th, 2026, via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Feel the surge: “Love Kills” is a fierce anthem pulsing with raw emotion and unstoppable energy. The track captures both the pain and power of love’s downfall, celebrating the resilience that endures even after the flame seems to die. With soaring vocals, thunderous riffs, and cinematic emotion, “Love Kills” reminds us that even in the darkest moments, love’s light never truly fades.
Guitarist and Songwriter Tim Kanoa Hansen shares:
“‘Love Kills… but it’s never gonna die’. This simple motto inspired most of Induction’s upcoming third album, which is why it became the title track. It’s deeply personal, full of raw emotion — but it also delivers a message of strength: life always goes on, and we are the masters of our own fate. No matter how dark the days, love will always return. As C. Joybell once wrote, ‘Love, I’m convinced, is found in the darkness. It’s the candle in the night’”.

Tim adds:
“For me, this album carries a lot of raw and personal emotion. Life always moved forward, and even in the darkest times, love always found its way back. With ‘Love Kills’! we explore the beauty and cruelty of love in a futuristic power metal context. It’s Induction at our biggest, boldest, and most fun yet”.
Following a storm of milestones, including a series of live dates supporting the legendary Savatage, a frenetically acclaimed debut at Wacken Open Air, and the release of fan-favorite singles “Beyond Horizons” and “Dark Temptation”, Induction are firing on all cylinders.
Crafted at Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, the album was produced by Tim Kanoa Hansen and mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with the guitarist. “Love Kills” marks the beginning of a new era for Induction, defined by musical evolution, emotional depth, and a fearless drive to push the boundaries of modern power metal!
