Symphonic power metal quartet Majestica have announced their brand new studio album “Power Train”, which will see the light of day on February 7th, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records.
After more than four years since their last album, the Swedes are ready to set the bar high once again with their new long player and are presenting their fans what is their strongest album to date.
“Power Train” is a spellbinding experience which awakens sleeping dreams with powerful riffs and epic choruses. The enchantment rises like a breath of stars, propelling listeners into the heart of a fairytale world.
This is particularly evident in the album’s first single. With the title track “Power Train”, Majestica leave an exciting first impression and also present a strong music video, which you can witness below.

When it came to the process of recording and putting all the pieces together, the band did not change a lot compared to the last projects. Again the music was written, recorded, and produced by Majestica themselves. “Like our previous albums this one is also produced by ourselves, and we recorded most parts in our new place ‘Majestic Studios’. For mixing we went back to Jonas Kjellgren as we have been very happy with the sound of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Metal United’”, says bassist Chris Davidsson. Regarding the amazing artwork for “Power Train”, Chris explains: “For the artwork we teamed up with Jan Yrlund / Darkgrove design. It invites you to join this majepic ride of the ‘Power Train’, imagine standing there on the platform eagerly waiting, and you hear ‘all aboard’”!
Shortly before the release of their new album, Majestica will play a few shows, perfect to warm up for the upcoming album. The tour, which is called ‘The Dead Don’t Die Tour’, kicks off on December 26th in Nürnberg, Germany. Along with headliners Dominum and support Hammer King, the Swedes are going to stop in seven cities. Furthermore, Majestica will play a festival show at ‘No Sleep After X-Mas Festival’ in Runkel with some extra focus on their Christmas album “A Christmas Carol” on December 29th.
