Guitarist Magnus Karlsson expresses his excitement for the release:
“It’s pure fire creating metal with legends like Ronnie and Mike! These tracks hit hard with unrelenting power, but there’s this raw, emotional edge woven into the heaviness that I can’t get enough of. Heavy, honest, and straight from the soul — that’s the vibe we’re bringing”.
“As usual, I just loved singing over Magnus/The Ferrymen songs!! As a singer there is nothing better to work on melodies and lyrics that inspire your performance, but also in real life day by day, and that’s something I strongly believe the fans of the band like the most of this project. Can’t wait for everybody to listen what, once again, is a strong melodic yet heavy album that I am very proud of”, adds vocalist Ronnie Romero.

The Ferrymen, the powerhouse trio formed by Swedish guitarist, songwriter, and producer Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Magnus Karlsson’s Free Fall), dynamic vocalist Ronnie Romero (Lords of Black, Sunstorm, Rainbow), and thunderous drummer Mike Terrana (Rage, Axel Rudi Pell), have solidified their place among European melodic metal fans with three acclaimed albums.

The album starts with “Choke Hold”, transitioning from an emotional intro into a massive melodic metal anthem. Tracks like “Mother Unholy”, “Adrenaline”, and the closer, “You’re the Joker”, highlight the trio’s unmatched synergy and musicianship.
