Swedish royal metal band REXORIA proudly releases their new single “Heart of Sorrow,” taken from their upcoming album, 'Fallen Dimension,' set for release on May 8th via Sound Pollution / Black Lodge Records. The new track features Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell / Hardline), uniting two distinctive metal voices in a collaboration aimed squarely at fans of melodic metal.
“Heart of Sorrow” is a grand, emotionally charged power ballad that fuses strong melodic hooks with heavy guitars, driven by a commanding vocal performance at it's core. The interplay between Frida and Johnny Gioeli’s voices creates a striking dynamic: Gioeli’s raw, raspy delivery brings grit and weight, while Frida’s clear and emotive vocals soar above, adding depth, intensity, and power.
The single is accompanied by a cinematic music video, centered on visual storytelling and a strong aesthetic direction that reflects the band’s evolving image and artistic vision.
With “Heart of Sorrow,” REXORIA and Johnny Gioeli deliver a power ballad that leaves a lasting impression — emotional, dramatic, and impossible to ignore.

With their upcoming fourth studio album, REXORIA returns with their signature Royal Metal sound, delivering towering choruses, vivid storytelling, emotional depth, and raw, commanding vocals. The follow-up to the acclaimed 'Imperial Dawn,' also released via Black Lodge Records, the band takes a bold and focused step forward.
'Fallen Dimension' spans a wide emotional and thematic spectrum, from social commentary and war-driven narratives to heartfelt power ballads and uplifting, hook-laden anthems. Built on atmosphere and intensity, the album captures the unmistakable REXORIA spirit at its most refined.
A standout element of the record is its two exclusive duets, featuring guest performances from Mike Andersson (Tungsten) and Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell / Hardline), adding further depth and dynamic range.
Mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren (Sabaton, Bloodbound, Raubtier, Dynazty), 'Fallen Dimension' features 11 powerful tracks that capture the band’s evolved identity and sharpened musical vision.
REXORIA is a proven live force, with over 120 performances across Europe. The band has shared stages and toured with acts such as Battle Beast, Bloodbound, Dynazty, Sirenia, Semblant and Thobbe Englund (Sabaton), and has played at major festivals including Sweden Rock Festival and Malmöfestivalen in 2024.
With over 3 million streams on Spotify and nearly 500,000 YouTube views, REXORIA stands ready for the next step.
