Edenbridge – Set the Dark on Fire 2026

Edenbridge, one of Europe’s most successful symphonic metal bands, have announced their return to the Steamhammer/SPV fold. The Austrian act surrounding band mastermind Lanvall (guitar & keyboards) and vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher are set to release their latest studio offering “Set the Dark on Fire” on January 16th, 2026.

Three singles, including videos, will be available ahead of the album‘s arrival: “Cosmic Embrace” (19 September 2025), “Where the Wild Things Are” (7 November 2025), and the title track “Set the Dark on Fire” (12 December 2025).

Lanvall and Edelsbacher promise their fans a typical Edenbridge amalgam of powerful metal and tried and tested anthemic, symphonic elements, with a perceptible increase in heaviness, especially in terms of guitars, bass and drums. Lanvall says: “‘Set the Dark on Fire’ sees us remain true to ourselves stylistically while making some important adjustments together with our long-standing mixing and mastering engineer Karl Groom (Threshold). The result is the most dynamic, heavy and at the same time most melodic work to date in the history of Edenbridge”.

The studio recordings as well as mixing and mastering of “Set the Dark on Fire” have already been completed, as has the work on the stunning cover artwork. Edenbridge are currently busy preparing their European tour, which will take them through Austria, Germany, Holland and Switzerland from February to mid-March 2026.
