Swedish metalcore pioneers Adept are back – and louder than ever! After almost nine years of silence, the band makes their long-awaited return today with their new single “Heaven”. Released by Napalm Records, “Heaven” is a raw and cathartic dive into guilt, loss and the constant persecution of personal demons. Powered by fast-paced riffs, dark melodies and a crushing breakdown, the song offers listeners exactly what Adept fans have been waiting for for years.
The single Heaven is released today as a music video only. The cinematic video features strong themes and a modern aesthetic that showcase emotional depth and provide a real visual treat. The song will arrive on streaming services at midnight.
“Heaven is a dark and emotional song about carrying old scars into the present and facing them. The composition is built around heavy riffs, a massive chorus and a raw emotional state. The lyrics are about being stuck in the unresolved issues of life, but also about the strength to overcome them and move on,” says the band’s vocalist Robert Ljung.
Formed in the early 2000s, Adept helped shape the sound of the European metalcore scene in its early years, and the band quickly rose to fame. Adept headed out on international tours and shared stages with the genre’s biggest names, such as A Day To Remember, Underoath and Bring Me The Horizon. The band made an impressive return to the live scene at last year’s Core Fest in Stuttgart, Germany, which created huge anticipation among fans. Now, at the dawn of a new era, Adept is ready to take over the metalcore scene once again.
