MASTERPLAN are thrilled to share the new single ‘Chase The Light’, taken from their upcoming new studio album, ‘Metalmorphosis’, set for release on June 26, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Roland Grapow described the single as “a dark and aggressive track about fear, control, and a world that feeds on pain. It shows how power rises while compassion fades, trapping people in silence and despair. The song pushes through chaos and suffering toward release – a call to break free, heal old wounds, and reclaim your strength“.
Grapow expressed his enthusiasm for the record – the first new songs since ‘Novum Initium’, released in 2013: “Metalmorphosis” really captures what this album means to us: a transformation, but still true to the spirit of Masterplan. We’ve grown over the years, both as musicians and as people, and you can hear that in the new songs. Some ideas go back many years, and now they’ve finally come to life. It’s powerful, melodic, and emotional – classic Masterplan, but with a new energy“.
MASTERPLAN stand among the most enduring and influential names in German power metal. Founded in 2001 by guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch following their exit from HELLOWEEN, the band quickly established a distinctive identity built on strong melodies, technical precision, and an epic yet modern metal approach.
