Swedish hard rock band Starmen continues their journey toward their fifth studio album Starmenized II with the release of their brand-new single and music video ’15 Minutes of Pain‘, out nowon all digital platforms.
Following the energetic first single Trouble, this new track dives deeper into the band’s signature sound — blending classic arena rock with modern melodic punch, soaring vocals, and a big chorus that sticks instantly.
“This song has been finished for quite some time and has always been one of our favorites. We’re really excited to finally share it with all our listeners,” says frontman Kristian Hermanson (Red Starman). ”Musically, it’s got that big Starmen sound — catchy, powerful, and straight from the heart.”
Since their formation in 2020, Starmen have cemented their position in the rock world with their own unique musical DNA. Following the acclaimed album Starmenized (2023) and the career-spanning compilation The Best of Starmen – Volume 1 (2024), the band now prepares to release Starmenized II — featuring both previously unreleased material and the brand-new song Born to Rock.
Starmenized II is produced by Kristian Hermanson, mixed and mastered by CJ Grimmark (Narnia), with all artwork and design by Jonatan Samuelsson. The album will be released via Melodic Passion Records and Sound Pollution Distribution, both on CD and on all major digital platforms, November 28th, 2025.
