mega Colossus return in 2026 with a new full-length album titled “Watch Out!”, a vibrant and unapologetically melodic celebration of classic heavy metal. The record arrives on 6 March 2026 through Cruz Del Sur Music and showcases the band’s most confident and colourful songwriting to date.
The first single, “Battlefront”, is available to hear now:
Formed in 2005, MEGA COLOSSUS have spent two decades refining a high-energy style rooted in traditional heavy metal, always prioritising strong melodies, character and craft over fleeting trends. With a settled line-up since 2021 and the continued momentum of 2023’s acclaimed “Showdown”, the band now present what they consider their clearest artistic statement so far.
“Watch Out!” was recorded at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Producer Al Jacob and mixer Matt Tuttle captured the group at full strength, drawing together the blazing guitar work, intricate twin harmonies and ambitious four-part vocal arrangements that have defined MEGA COLOSSUS since their earliest releases. The album title nods to Ronnie James Dio’s iconic onstage cry, a fitting reference for a band that embraces the spirit of classic metal while pushing into new territory.
The group has become a familiar name across the European underground, appearing at respected festivals including Hell Over Hammaburg in Germany and Up the Hammers in Greece. Their 2026 touring schedule sees them return to these stages alongside a run of club dates across the continent, bringing the energy of “Watch Out!” directly to long-time supporters and new audiences alike.
