H.E.A.T., the Swedish rock sensation that’s leading an 80s hard rock resurgence, will release their new studio album, ‘Welcome to the Future’, on April 25th, 2025, via earMUSIC.
Their electrifying sound, a fusion of classic melodic rock with oodles of modern energy, keeps the band at the top, constantly touring globally and releasing new music.
Leckremo’s expressive vocals and the band’s infectious anthems are hallmarks of Welcome to the Future’s inventive, compelling, and melodic quality.
The band was formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 2007 and is heavily influenced by melodic rock groups like Whitesnake.
We’ve previously described H.E.A.T.’s output as ‘retro-futuristic’, ‘deliciously atmospheric’, and ‘uncontrolled exuberance…’
Combining frantic, Iron Maiden-esque vocals with compelling guitars and fascinating keyboards, ‘Disaster’ is a skillfully crafted masterpiece.
‘Bad Time For Love’ is packed with glam-metal skill, dynamic key changes, and hair-metal energy, and the song showcases an extraordinary feast of beats, catchy riffs, and a memorable chorus that will leave you feeling joyfully bouncy with your toes pinging and your face a-twinkle with glee.

‘Running to You’ boasts an Impellitteri-style riff and Graham Bonnet-esque vocals; making for lively ‘n’ lyrical hard rock of the most expressive kind (see the shared music video below). This number boasts majestic proportions, an arena-worthy chorus, powerful rhythms, intense guitars, and the type of emotionally-charged energy that will electrify any audience.
This album celebrates 80s hard rock with tremendous strength, impressive stagecraft, and fervent passion. It’s extra-bounteous riffslamming! Now is the time to treat yourself… go on, grab yesterday’s future!
