Stockholm’s hard-rock trio Supralunar have finally delivered their third full-length, and it was worth the wait. Dead Come to Dance landed on February 6, 2026, after a protracted “Chinese Democracy” gestation involving a drummer swap and a global search that ended when Petri Tuulik spotted young Japanese powerhouse Akane Delle Fave tearing through a Rainbow cover on Facebook. She now anchors three tracks with ferocious precision while lending sky-high harmonies that glue the whole record together.
The album feels like a love letter to classic hard rock filtered through modern clarity. Petri Tuulik handles lead vocals, guitars, keyboards, and production with a veteran’s touch—think big, layered harmonies à la Def Leppard or Europe, but grounded in the gritty, riff-first attitude of early ’70s rock. The result is neither retro cosplay nor faceless modern polish; it’s alive, sweaty, and unapologetically fun.
Opener “Bit By The Bug” explodes with pure rock ’n’ roll swagger—three minutes of AC/DC-meets-’80s Sunset Strip energy that sets the tone. Title track “Dead Come to Dance” stretches to five epic minutes of churning riffs and theatrical drama, while “Whispers In The Wind” offers a gorgeous, acoustic-led breather that showcases Akane’s delicate touch. Mid-album highlight “Maybe Tomorrow” is a towering anthem hovering between ballad and banger, complete with goosebump harmonies and a soaring chorus that begs for arena sing-alongs. Singles “Picture In Your Head” and “Straight Into The Sun” deliver instant earworms, and closer “Justice Be Done” snaps shut with a short, punky punch that leaves you grinning.
Lyrically, the band leans darker than before—political polarization, global unease, mortality—but never loses their theatrical humor or melodic warmth. The production is crisp yet organic; every guitar layer, harmony stack, and drum fill breathes. Supralunar aren’t reinventing the wheel—but they never claimed to. They simply make the wheel spin faster, louder, and with more heart than most.
Dead Come to Dance is the sound of a band refreshed, re-energized, and ready to remind the world why hard rock still matters. Crank it loud.
