Swedish hard rock band STARMEN continues their journey toward the release of their fifth studio album, 'Starmenized II,' with the release of their brand-new single and music video "15 Minutes of Pain," out today on all digital platforms.
Following the energetic first single "Trouble," this new track dives deeper into the band's signature sound - blending classic arena rock with modern melodic punch, soaring vocals, and a big chorus that sticks instantly.
"This song has been finished for quite some time and has always been one of our favorites. We're really excited to finally share it with all our listeners," says frontman Kristian Hermanson (Red Starman). "Musically, it's got that big Starmen sound - catchy, powerful, and straight from the heart."
'Starmenized II' is produced by Kristian Hermanson, mixed and mastered by CJ Grimmark (Narnia), with all artwork and design by Jonatan Samuelsson. The album will be released via Melodic Passion Records and Sound Pollution Distribution, both on CD and all major digital platforms, on November 28th, 2025.
STARMEN formed in 2018 as a high-energy homage to the rock heroes of the '70s and '80s, complete with bold, color-themed stage personas and their signature star-shaped makeup. Fronted by Kristian Hermanson (Red Starman) on vocals, guitar, and songwriting, alongside Jonatan Samuelsson (Gold Starman) on bass, Andreas Lindgren (Purple Starman) on lead guitar, and John Hector (Silver Starman) on drums, the band quickly established themselves as a force in the rock world with their authentic sound, melodic hooks, and powerful stage presence.
STARMEN's catalog includes 'Kiss the Sky,' 'Welcome to My World,' 'By the Grace of Rock 'n' Roll,' and 'Starmenized' (2023), the latter praised for its cinematic videos, high production values, and strong songwriting. In 2024, the band marked their first five years with the release of 'The Best of Starmen - Volume 1,' a 20-track career-spanning compilation.
