Swedish melodic rock force The Devil Wears Nada have released their new single ‘Victoria‘,out now on Eönian Records. In conjunction with the single are details of their highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘In Lust We Thrust‘, arriving on CD and limited-edition coloured vinyl via Eönian Records on Friday, July 10th, 2026.
The Devil Wears Nada brings you new single ‘Victoria‘. Have you ever wondered how KISS’s ‘Animalize‘ would have sounded if it was written and produced in 2026? Look no further, this track features the legendary Paul Stanley‘s son, Evan playing a monstrous guitar solo.
‘Victoria‘ serves as the next glimpse into the band’s upcoming album ‘In Lust We Thrust‘, set for release on July 10th – a record that promises bigger hooks, bigger emotions, and an even more expansive sound. With this release, The Devil Wears Nada continue to establish themselves as a rising force in melodic rock, blending nostalgia with a fresh and modern identity. — For fans of: Roxette, 80s pop-rock, melodic rock, cinematic power ballads
Scandinavia has long been a breeding ground for world-class melodic rock and AOR, and from Falköping, Sweden, The Devil Wears Nada emerges as a formidable new torchbearer of that tradition. Rooted in the golden era of melodic hard rock, from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, the band fuses nostalgic grandeur with a dramatic, contemporary edge. Drawing theatrical inspiration from icons such as Alice Cooper, Ghost, and Lordi, they seamlessly merge arena-ready Scandinavian melodies with horror aesthetics and vintage hard rock energy.
Their debut album, Postalgia‘ (review here),on Eönian Records, earned global acclaim for its signature blend of cinematic flair, soaring vocal lines, and hook-laden choruses. Initially released under the name ‘Adecence’ in an ultra-limited pressing of just 100 CDs, the album quickly became a coveted collector’s item. Reintroduced and remastered under The Devil Wears Nada, the album featured two new studio recordings, a high-octane cover of ‘1989‘ by fellow Swedish rockers Nestor, and expanded deluxe packaging; the release became one of Eönian Records‘ best-selling titles.
With upcoming album ‘In Lust We Thrust’, The Devil Wears Nada hope to shatter expectations and raise their creative bar to towering new heights. Fans of Nestor, Da Vinci, 220 Volt, and FM will recognize the soaring hooks, polished harmonies, and arena-sized ambition that define classic Scandinavian melodic rock. Yet this is far more than a nostalgic revival, it’s a bold reawakening.
Brimming with explosive choruses, cinematic atmosphere, and razor-sharp modern production, ‘In Lust We Thrust‘ plans to deliver a revitalized, high-impact vision of the genre, poised to captivate longtime ’80s hard rock and glam metal loyalists and ignite a new generation of melodic rock devotees alike.
Guitarist Henrik Westergren describes the band’s sound, “Take the raw pulse of the ’70s, ’80s hard rock and glam metal, and mix it with our fascination for the macabre and the dramatic, that’s where The Devil Wears Nada lives.”
“It’s Ludvig’s songwriting sensibility mixed with our collective love for the bizarre and dramatic,” Westergren adds. “It creates something that’s both familiar and unsettling; in the best way possible.”
He concludes: “If you’re reading this, thank you, for taking the time to listen, and hopefully for supporting this album built from blood, sweat, and countless hours of passion. Let’s keep the spirit of melodic rock alive and loud. The Devil Wears Nada is just getting started.”
