Swedish symphonic power metal band MAJESTICA embarks on an exhilarating new chapter with the release of their latest album, Power Train, available today via Nuclear Blast Records. Fans can expect a spellbinding musical journey, filled with powerful riffs and epic choruses that awaken dreams and transport listeners into a majepic fairytale world.
Staying true to their creative process, MAJESTICA once again took full control of the production, writing, recording, and producing the album themselves. Most of the recording took place in their new creative home, Majestic Studios, while the mixing was expertly handled by Jonas Kjellgren, who previously worked on A Christmas Carol and Metal United.
Visually, Power Train is brought to life by Jan Yrlund / Darkgrove Design, whose stunning artwork invites fans to step onto the platform, hear the call of “all aboard,” and embark on an unforgettable metal journey. To mark the release, MAJESTICA has unveiled a spectacular new music video for the track ‘Battle Cry’, delivering yet another epic visual experience for fans worldwide.

Chris Davidsson comments on the album release: ”Finally our new album is about to be released! It has been a long process and we are very happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think about it! The album has a lot of dynamics, reminding about a train ride, it goes fast, slows down, mid tempo, full on again and so on. I think it has something for everyone, so jump on board the train and enjoy the ride! All aboard!”
Tommy Johansson continues: ”The song ’Battle Cry’ takes you back to when vikings sailed the seas in a fast, melodic and sing-along pirate metal tune. The sound is very much inspired by Running Wild with some glorified elements from the old ReinXeed era. Set your sail and listen to our battle cry!”

When it came to the process of recording and putting all the pieces together, the band did not change a lot compared to the last projects. Again the music was written, recorded, and produced by MAJESTICA themselves. “Like our previous albums this one is also produced by ourselves, and we recorded most parts in our new place ”Majestic Studios”. For mixing we went back to Jonas Kjellgren as we have been very happy with the sound of ’A Christmas Carol’ and ’Metal United’ says bassist Chris Davidsson.
Regarding the amazing artwork for Power Train, Chris explains: “For the artwork we teamed up with Jan Yrlund / Darkgrove design. It invites you to join this majepic ride of the Power Train, imagine standing there on the platform eagerly waiting, and you hear ”all aboard”!“.
