The wait is finally over. Melodic metal powerhouse Stormbreaker is set to unleash their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Enlighting , on September 5th, 2025 , via Backyard Sounds . Following the buzz generated by their singles “Femme Fatale” and “Sandman” , Stormbreaker now delivers a complete sonic journey that cements their place among Europe’s most exciting new metal acts.
Enlighting is more than an album—it’s a plunge into a world where reality, dreams, and shadows collide. Across ten tracks, Stormbreaker weave cinematic soundscapes, crushing riffs, and anthemic hooks into an album that’s as aggressive as it is uplifting. From adrenaline-fueled assaults to atmospheric ballads, the record showcases the band’s wide emotional range and fearless songwriting.
Blending the sleek, futuristic energy of Amaranthe , the ferocity of Arch Enemy , and the theatrical grandeur of Beast In Black , Stormbreaker crafts a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.
The lineup features dual vocalists Petri Tarvainen and Anni Kokkonen , guitarist Tomi Virtanen , bassist Anssi Kinnunen , and drummer Sami Ratilainen . Together, they bring to life a record that is as dynamic on stage as it is in the studio.
Production was handled by some of Finland’s finest: Enlighting was mixed by Miitri Aaltonen and mastered by Mika Jussila at the legendary Finnvox Studios , guaranteeing a polished yet powerful sound fit for international stages.
Stormbreaker comments on the album:
“With Enlighting, we wanted to explore the space between dreams and reality—the struggle, the triumph, and the fire that lights the way forward. This album is our statement to the world: we are here, and we are only getting stronger.”
