Swedish modern melodic metal frontrunners **METALITE** have unleashed a visualizer video for their brand-new single "**The Metal Elite,"** another electrifying taste of their highly anticipated studio album ***Discovery***, set for release on **September 25 via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music**.

The new single captures** METALITE** at full intensity: Powerful, energetic and made to connect with a crowd, the track channels the adrenaline of a live show into an unapologetic celebration of metal and the bond between band and fans.

**Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg** comments:

Mixed and mastered by acclaimed Danish producer **Jacob Hansen** (**Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe**), their new album ***Discovery*** pushes **METALITE**’s futuristic vision further than ever before. Across twelve dynamic tracks, the album explores themes of human evolution, technology, survival, liberation and hope in a universe shaped by digital realities and cosmic exploration in the year of 2058, three years after humanity left a collapsing Earth in search of a new beginning.

Building upon the sonic worlds established on *Heroes in Time* (2017), *Biomechanicals* (2019), *A Virtual World* (2021) and *Expedition One* (2024), the band once again proves why they are regarded as pioneers of modern sci-fi-inspired melodic metal!

**ABOUT METALITE**

Founded in 2015 by guitarist Edwin Premberg, **METALITE **quickly gained recognition with their debut album *Heroes in Time*, establishing a fresh and modern approach to melodic metal.

In 2024, drummer Erik Junttila joined **METALITE**, bringing renewed energy and precision to the band’s explosive live and studio performances.
