Swedish modern melodic metal frontrunners METALITE have unleashed a visualizer video for their brand-new single “The Metal Elite,” another electrifying taste of their highly anticipated studio album Discovery, set for release on September 25 via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.
The new single captures METALITE at full intensity: Powerful, energetic and made to connect with a crowd, the track channels the adrenaline of a live show into an unapologetic celebration of metal and the bond between band and fans.
Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg comments:
“The Metal Elite is all about stepping on stage and giving everything you’ve got, like it’s the last day of your life. It’s about that raw energy, the connection with the crowd, and delivering every note with full intensity. No holding back, just pure, unstoppable metal.”

Mixed and mastered by acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe), their new album Discovery pushes METALITE’s futuristic vision further than ever before. Across twelve dynamic tracks, the album explores themes of human evolution, technology, survival, liberation and hope in a universe shaped by digital realities and cosmic exploration in the year of 2058, three years after humanity left a collapsing Earth in search of a new beginning.
Building upon the sonic worlds established on Heroes in Time (2017), Biomechanicals (2019), A Virtual World (2021) and Expedition One (2024), the band once again proves why they are regarded as pioneers of modern sci-fi-inspired melodic metal!

ABOUT METALITE
Founded in 2015 by guitarist Edwin Premberg, METALITE quickly gained recognition with their debut album Heroes in Time, establishing a fresh and modern approach to melodic metal. In 2019, vocalist Erica Ohlsson joined the band for Biomechanicals, helping elevate the group’s futuristic identity through an even more refined blend of electronic textures and melodic power metal. Their evolution continued with A Virtual World and reached new conceptual heights with Expedition One, a visionary sci-fi journey set in the year 2055.
In 2024, drummer Erik Junttila joined METALITE, bringing renewed energy and precision to the band’s explosive live and studio performances.
