Stockholm hard rock trio Supralunar returns with their third full-length album, "Dead Come To Dance", released on February 6, 2026 via Supralunatic Records. This follows up on their previous works, including "A New Hope" and "Ghosts", as well as a trilogy of EPs. The road to this release was bumpy, marked by the exit of longtime drummer Johann Enoksson. While Enoksson laid down the beats for the majority of the album, the band eventually recruited Akane Delle Fave, a Japanese drummer discovered through social media, to complete the lineup and the recording. She steps in on three tracks, solidifying the new era for the band.

This album comes out swinging with a production job that sounds expensive. You can tell Petri Tuulik spent a hell of a lot of time behind the mixing desk because the sound is thick and stacked high. It brings a level of density that makes the three-piece sound much larger. The vocal harmonies are everywhere, piling on top of the riffs to create that massive arena-rock atmosphere. It is heavy, but it also has a theatrical side that keeps things interesting. The transition between the two drummers is seamless, so the groove stays locked in throughout the runtime.

The songwriting on "Dead Come To Dance" leans into the darker side of things lyrically, probably because the world has been going to hell lately. However, the music doesn't wallow in misery. Instead, it pairs those heavy themes with big, catchy hooks and a serious amount of melody. It has that classic rock strut, drawing on influences like Def Leppard or Queen without sounding like a cheap tribute act. The guitars have a satisfying crunch, and the bass lines wander enough to keep your ears busy.

"Dead Come To Dance" is a good time. It delivers exactly what you want from a hard rock album. Loud guitars, singing choruses, and a bit of drama. It is a consistent ride that fits well alongside bands like The Darkness or Foo Fighters. Supralunar survived their lineup hell and managed to put out an album that sounds focused and energetic.
