Hardcore Superstar Had 49 Songs Written For Their New Album
Hardcore Superstar have been busy working on their next studio album, and according to frontman Jocke Berg, the band had quite a selection of material to work with. Following the departure of former drummer Adde Andreasson, who had been the band’s main songwriter for roughly 12-13 years, the remaining members took a more active role in the writing process.
Speaking to The Rockpit, Berg revealed that the band accumulated an impressive 49 songs within just six to eight months.
“After six or eight months we had 49 songs,” Jocke explained, describing it as a luxury problem when it came to selecting the final material. The band eventually had to narrow the selection down to 11 or 12 tracks.
He also gave some insight into what fans can expect from the new record. According to Berg, there will be more melodic material than on previous releases, although some rougher songs will remain part of the band’s sound. They also included a full on power ballad for the closing of the record.
Hardcore Superstar are currently finishing the album, with four songs still being recorded at the time of the interview. The record is scheduled for release in May 2027 through Frontiers Music Srl.
