Heavy Rock Force Audrey Horne Announce New Album "Achilles", Out September 4, 2026

Acclaimed Norwegian hard rock unit AUDREY HORNE announce their eighth studio album, Achilles, to be released on September 4, 2026 via Napalm Records! Today, the band has unveiled the first single from the new offering: The high-energy rock'n'roll number "Insanity" arrives with an accompanying music video that fits the track's wild spirit seamlessly.

AUDREY HORNE's prior studio albums Blackout (2018) and Devil’s Bell (2022) received critical praise internationally, and the band was even awarded a Spellemannprisen (Norwegian equivalent to a Grammy) for their 2005 debut album. Having supported legends like AC/DC and Mötley Crüe and played previous international tours, both as headliners and together with bands such as Papa Roach and Backyard Babies, AUDREY HORNE counts as one of Norway's most interesting rock exports.

AUDREY HORNE on "Insanity":

"The first song that was written for the album.

It‘s a classic AUDREY HORNE tune that has the energy, the twin guitars, a big chorus and a cool mid-section. The lyrics are inspired by 'Hallowed be Thy Name' by Iron Maiden. It is an attempt to say what might have happened prior to the story in that song."
