Today, modern power metal force INDUCTION mark the release of their new studio album Love Kills!, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.
With Love Kills!, INDUCTION present their most focused and mature record to date, sharpening their signature mix of heavy power metal, strong hooks, and emotionally driven songwriting. The album shows a band operating with confidence, clarity, and a clear artistic direction.
To celebrate their album release in glorious style, INDUCTION unleash a powerful new music video for the epic track “Strangers To Love”, featuring none other than Clémentine Delauney from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS!
“Strangers To Love” stands as one of the album’s most emotional and cinematic moments. Blending soaring melodies and crushing guitars, the song showcases an intense vocal duet between Clémentine and INDUCTION frontman Gabriele Gozzi. It’s a powerful meeting of voices that elevates the song into true modern power metal territory.
“I am honored to feature on INDUCTION’s new album, especially on this song ‘Strangers to Love’ that carries a very nostalgic yet energetic vibe,” the VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer says. “I feel like I’m back in the vibrant eighties, singing about a love that is as impossible as it is to travel back in time… I had a lot of fun interpreting this song alongside the great Gabriele Gozzi!”

INDUCTION guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen comments on the collaboration: “The second that I had the demo of ‘Strangers To Love’ done, I knew it needed a second voice. With Clémentine from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, we found the perfect match to bring the story to life. Clémi and Gabri complement each other beautifully! ‘Strangers To Love’ is probably the closest thing to a ballad that you will find on Love Kills!, and it’s also probably one of my personal favorite hits. I believe everyone will somehow relate to this song, because it captures the essence of human experience at its core, and fits perfectly to the album’s message: Love Kills…but it’s never gonna die.”
But the connection between INDUCTION and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS doesn’t stop at the studio. Both bands have joined forces with WARKINGS for the “Pirates & Kings Over Europe” Tour, that just kicked off in Switzerland and leading through more than 20 cities across Europe, promising epic nights of melodic metal and unforgettable performances. Find all current and upcoming dates listed below!
Following a storm of milestones, including a series of live dates supporting the legendary SAVATAGE, a frenetically acclaimed debut at Wacken Open Air, and the release of fan-favorite singles “Beyond Horizons” and “Dark Temptation”,INDUCTION are now firing on all cylinders.
Crafted at Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, the new album was produced by Tim Kanoa Hansen, and was mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with the guitarist. Love Kills!marks the beginning of a new era forINDUCTION, defined by musical evolution, emotional depth, and a fearless drive to push the boundaries of modern power metal.
“For me, this album carries a lot of raw and personal emotion”, Tim recently said. “Life always moved forward, and even in the darkest times, love always found its way back. With Love Kills! we explore the beauty and cruelty of love in a futuristic power metal context. It’s Induction at our biggest, boldest, and most fun yet.”
