HUMAN FORTRESS New Album "Stronghold" Out Now
 | Fri, October 24, 2025 at 8:11 AM |
Today German epic melodic metal act HUMAN FORTRESS release their new full-length "Stronghold" via Massacre Records.
The album is available as a 2-CD Digipak and limited vinyl LP. Tracklist highlights include "The End Of The World," "Pain," "The Abyss Of Our Souls," and the new single "The Darkest Hour."
"Stronghold" marks the band's 8th full-length album and represents a new chapter in HUMAN FORTRESS's more than two-decade career. Produced by the band at Soundhoops Studio, with mixing and mastering handled by Alex Krull (Mastersound Studio), the record delivers a heavier, guitar-driven sound, intensified by Krull's powerful production.
With the departure of long-time keyboardist Dirk Liehm, "Stronghold" is the first HUMAN FORTRESS album written largely without keyboards, resulting in a more guitar-heavy and aggressive sound. While some tracks explore more mainstream songwriting elements, the album remains firmly rooted in epic heavy metal, blending powerful riffs, soaring melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics.
