INDUCTION Premiere New Single & Music Video "Beyond Horizons"

Right on time for another exciting live adventure, rising symphonic/power metallers INDUCTION have officially released their latest single through Reigning Phoenix Music today. The track titled ‘Beyond Horizons,’ which already celebrated its live premiere during the band’s most recent European tour, will be a part of their forthcoming record, and is their first sonic sign after regrouping themselves in late 2024, resulting in the addition of singer Gabriele Gozzi, guitarist Justus Sahlman and drummer Markus “Maks” Felber. Also accompanied by a new music video, "Beyond Horizons" impressively shows the wide range of elements INDUCTION’s creative work is driven by: Forcing triplet drumming and riffing, backed by epically flourishing synths and choirs, build the ground of a track that is both profound and jubilant. Empowering melodies and rhythms make "Beyond Horizons" not only an anthem of the warm season and a perfect soundtrack to everyone’s next concert or festival trip. All aboard the INDUCTION train, metalheads, we’re just getting started!
 
Guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen comments: “With ‘Beyond Horizons,’ we ring the bell for our long-awaited third album. And I believe it’s a mighty peek for what is to come: a story of love in twisted worlds and destiny. ‘Beyond Horizons’ is the perfect kick-off to show you what we’ve been up to and what to expect. Dive in and enjoy: I’m sure this song will be stuck in your head for quite some time.”

Crafted at Hamburg, Germany’s Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios, the song was produced by Hansen and mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with him. The design of the single artwork was a team effort by TheArchangel and Marius Rietze.
 
"Beyond Horizons" will once again be presented live to massive crowds during INDUCTION’s five shows supporting the mighty SAVATAGE this June. Followed by the band’s first Wacken Open Air appearance, the quintet has been confirmed as the supporting act of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and WARKING’s 2026 Pirates & Kings Over Europe tour, taking them to 20+ cities across the continent in February/March.

His journey from a small-town Kentucky native to a songwriting icon spans more than two decades, resulting in a record-breaking 75+ No. 1 radio singles and over 400 songs recorded by artists across multiple genres.

Named Nashville Songwriter Association International's Songwriter of the Decade for 2010-2019, Gorley has earned an astounding 24 CMA Triple Play Awards, recognizing songwriters with three No. 1 hits within a year.
