Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the signing of Swedish hard rock heavyweights HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of Scandinavia’s most enduring and explosive rock bands.
The partnership kicks off with the release of HARDCORE SUPERSTAR’s brand-new single, “Halo,” just days before the band launches the Scandinavian leg of its “Dirty Halo Tour” on October 2nd.
The band comments:
“We’re really excited to start this new chapter with Frontiers. After all these years, we’re still just as hungry to make great records, play loud, and push HARDCORE SUPERSTAR forward. We feel Frontiers understands where we come from, but more importantly, where we want to go next. There’s a lot of new music coming, and we can’t wait to get it out there.”
Aldo Lonobile, VP of Global A&R, Frontiers Label Group, states:
“Being a fan of the band for many years, I am particularly excited to welcome HARDCORE SUPERSTAR to Frontiers! They have built an incredible legacy, but I truly believe they still have a lot to say and many more chapters to write. We’re excited to be the right partner for their next steps and to support their vision as they enter this new chapter.”
Raw, loud, and unapologetic, “Halo” captures HARDCORE SUPERSTAR at their most direct. Built on heavy riffs, attitude and a chorus made for the live stage, the song revels in the turmoil between chaos and redemption, where bitter truths, wine-soaked spite and fake prayers collide.
The band described the new single by saying:
“'Halo' is an anthem for people faking their prayers in the hope of securing a little grace under their Dirty Halo. It’s about that distorted line that lies somewhere between praying for redemption and embracing the chaos - the sins, mistakes, and bad decisions you can’t take back.”

The new single arrives as HARDCORE SUPERSTAR prepares to return to the road for the “Dirty Halo Tour,” a 20-date run through Sweden and Finland beginning October 2nd in Malmö. The tour will continue into Europe and the rest of the world during 2027.
“We are excited to be back on the road for this long-awaited tour. We love the chaos, the crowds, the late nights and the connection with the fans. This tour is going to be something special,” said HARDCORE SUPERSTAR.
Alongside preparations for the tour, the band is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to their acclaimed album ‘Abrakadabra.’ The upcoming release will also be the first to feature new drummer Efraim Larsson (Gathering Of Kings, Masterplan).
