Swedish hard rock band Starmen return in full force as they today release their long-awaited fifth studio album Starmenized II, available now on all major digital platforms as well as on CD via Melodic Passion Records and Sound Pollution Distribution.
To celebrate the album launch, the band also unveil the brand-new single “One World” together with an accompanying music video, released simultaneously today.
Following the previous singles Trouble and 15 Minutes of Pain, the new track One World showcases Starmen’s powerful blend of classic arena rock and modern melodic hard rock, featuring soaring vocals, big guitars, and a unifying message wrapped in an instantly memorable chorus.
“One World is a song we’ve been eager to release. It carries that signature Starmen energy — catchy, uplifting, and straight from the heart,” says frontman Kristian Hermanson (Red Starman). ”Releasing both the album and the video on the same day feels like the perfect way to mark this new chapter.”
Since their formation in 2020, Starmen have carved out a strong identity in the rock scene, combining iconic visual aesthetics with high-quality songwriting. Starmenized II follows the acclaimed 2023 album Starmenized and the 2024 compilation The Best of Starmen – Volume 1. The new album features a mix of previously unreleased material and the newly recorded track 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.
