Power metal veterans MASTERPLAN, who are 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 fourth single, “The Call”, is now released.

Watch “The Call” below.

Grapow commented: “‘The Call’ is the most complex and controversial song on the album, but also, in our view, one of its most powerful. It feels like a prayer — just written in a modern way. We worked on this track longer than on any other.”

He continued: “We don’t want to explain exactly what the song means, because everyone will hear something different in it. That’s the whole point. But we’d still like to think it has a positive message: no matter how chaotic life becomes, we all return to where we came from. And somewhere under all the noise, we should try to find the harmony we were born with — to create, not destroy.”

Watch the previously released “Electric Nights”, “Through The Storm” and “Chase The Light” below.

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
04. Bound To Fall
05. Pain Of Yesterday
