Power metal veterans MASTERPLAN, led by former HELLOWEEN guitarist Roland Grapow, will release their new studio album, “Metalmorphosis”, on June 26, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. The official music video for the LP’s second single, “Through The Storm”, is now released.

The band commented: “We absolutely love this one! It’s pure metal: straightforward, energetic, and fun in its own way. The song was inspired by our experience playing metal cruises last year, including one crazy show on deck during a storm with freezing wind and heavy waves. That wild energy is exactly what this track is about. The video captures that spirit perfectly — we’re just having fun, but even tough conditions can’t stop us from playing and enjoying what we do.”

Grapow described the single as “a dark and aggressive track about fear, control, and a world that feeds on pain. It shows how power rises while compassion fades, trapping people in silence and despair. The song pushes through chaos and suffering toward release — a call to break free, heal old wounds, and reclaim your strength”.

Grapow expressed his enthusiasm for MASTERPLAN‘s record — the band’s first new songs since “Novum Initium”, released in 2013. “‘Metalmorphosis’ really captures what this album means to us: a transformation, but still true to the spirit of MASTERPLAN,” he said. “We’ve grown over the years, both as musicians and as people, and you can hear that in the new songs. Some ideas go back many years, and now they’ve finally come to life. It’s powerful, melodic, and emotional — classic MASTERPLAN, but with a new energy”.

After a prolonged hiatus from studio releases, MASTERPLAN has re-emerged with renewed creative drive. The band recently signed a new worldwide deal with Frontiers Music Srl, marking a significant milestone and the beginning of a new chapter in their career.

This partnership sets the stage for their long-awaited return with a brand-new studio album, “Metalmorphosis”, representing both transformation and continuity: a heavier, more aggressive edge combined with the melodic sophistication that has always defined MASTERPLAN‘s sound.

01. Chase The Light
02. Electric Nights
03. Shadow Man
