Dutch heavy metal band Lord Volture will revisit a key chapter of their catalogue with the release of a newly remastered edition of “Will to Power” on the 26th of November 2026. Originally issued in 2014, the band’s third studio album returns with refreshed artwork, enhanced audio and its first-ever release on vinyl.
Widely regarded as an important release in Lord Volture’s evolution, “Will to Power” showcased the band’s blend of classic heavy metal power, melodic depth and ambitious songwriting. With the original CD edition having been unavailable for many years, the album now receives a comprehensive reissue designed to introduce the record to a new generation of listeners while offering long-time supporters a definitive version of the album.
The 2026 edition will be available digitally, on CD and on vinyl LP. In addition to the updated presentation, the album has been newly remastered by Peter Lindenbergh at Baker Street Studios in Valkenswaard, Netherlands, providing renewed clarity and impact across the recording.
The original album was recorded during 2013 and 2014 under the guidance of Bart Hennephof and Yuma van Eekelen. Drums were tracked at Split Second Sound Studio in Amsterdam, while guitars, bass and vocals were recorded at Final Focus Studio in Tilburg. Mixing duties were handled by Stephen van Haestregt, with the original mastering completed by Peer Rave at Swamp Studio.
Adding further value to the reissue, the CD format includes four exclusive bonus tracks recorded live during the L1 Cultuurcafé broadcast on L1 Radio on 26th October 2024.
