As a first taste of the upcoming album, the band has released the single and official music video for “Soul Vampires.” The song is about emotional parasites and the struggle to reclaim what has been stolen: your strength, your clarity, your soul.

With their fifth studio album, “The Lost Legion Rising,” TORIAN present a fresh sound and some of the strongest songs of their career to date. The album is rooted in European power metal and influenced by US metal and thrash. It combines precision, melody, and intensity—always with a keen sense for memorable hooks.
The songwriting is more diverse and direct than ever before. From fast-paced tracks like “Warpriest” to anthemic highlights like “Soul Vampires” and the epic closing track “Katharsis,” the album showcases a band that sounds heavy, melodic, and focused.
“The Lost Legion Rising” was produced and mixed by Alexander Thielmann at Room 14 Studio and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann (Orden Ogan) at Greenman Studio, ensuring a powerful and clear sound that fully showcases the band’s dynamic range.
