MELODIC! FRESH! METAL!

Swedish modern power metal band Metalite has been pushing the boundaries of the genre since its formation in 2015. Blending futuristic soundscapes with electrifying melodies, the band has crafted a signature style that merges soaring vocals, high-octane riffs, and cinematic synth-driven compositions.

Metalite’s journey began with the release of Heroes in Time (2017), a debut album that introduced their unique fusion of melody, power, and futuristic themes. Founded by guitarist Edwin Premberg and vocalist Emma Bensing, the band quickly gained recognition for its fresh and modern take on melodic metal. With Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe) at the helm, and guest contributions from Fraser Edwards (Ascension) and Jakob Svensson (Wigelius), Heroes in Time set the stage for Metalite’s rise.

In 2019, the band entered a new era with Biomechanicals, marking the debut of vocalist Erica Ohlsson. With an even more refined sound, the album embraced electronic elements and pulsating rhythms, elevating Metalite’s futuristic vision. Biomechanicals was praised for its modern approach, combining symphonic power with anthemic hooks, further solidifying the band’s reputation as innovators in the genre.



Their evolution continued with A Virtual World (2021), an album that expanded on their sci-fi themes while delivering massive soundscapes and powerful melodies. With expertly crafted arrangements and high-energy compositions, Metalite reinforced their standing as one of the most exciting acts in modern power metal.

With Expedition One (2024), Metalite embarked on their most ambitious project to date. A visionary concept album set in the year 2055, it tells the story of a renegade team searching for a new world, exploring themes of human evolution, technology, and survival. Featuring 16 immersive tracks, Expedition One showcases the band’s growth, blending cinematic storytelling with dynamic, high-energy metal.

In 2024, Metalite welcomed drummer Erik Junttila to the lineup, bringing new energy and power to their sound. His premiere gig with the band took place in Linköping at the beginning of 2025, marking an exciting new chapter in Metalite’s journey.

With over 25 million streams and a growing global fanbase, Metalite continues to redefine the future of melodic metal. Their fusion of cutting-edge sound design, anthemic choruses, and sci-fi-inspired storytelling has set them apart, proving that their journey is far from over.
