If ‘Rising From The Ashes’ is anything to go by, 2026 belongs to Brunhilde…
The German hard rock outfit have never been a band that does things by halves, but their latest single feels like a gear shift even by their own standards. This is Brunhilde distilled — everything that makes them essential, cranked up and pointed directly at your chest.
From the first riff, it’s obvious something has changed. Not in the sense that the band have abandoned what makes them great, but in the sense that they’ve stopped hedging. ‘Rising From The Ashes’ is leaner, nastier, and more direct than anything they’ve put out before, and at the centre of all of it is Caro Loy - one of the most compelling frontwomen in European rock right now, full stop.
Her performance here is extraordinary. Furious without losing control, powerful without tipping into melodrama; she navigates a song about betrayal and defiance with the kind of authority that can’t be faked or manufactured. You believe every second of it, which is exactly what a track like this demands.
The rest of the band are right there with her. The guitar work is sharp and purposeful, the rhythm section thunderous in all the right ways, and the chorus - when it finally detonates - is the kind of thing that lodges itself in your brain and refuses to leave. It’s a song designed to be bellowed by thousands of people in a field at midnight, and with Brunhilde confirmed to return to Wacken Open Air in 2026, that image doesn’t feel far off at all.
Some singles arrive. Some singles announce. ‘Rising From The Ashes’ does neither: it kicks the door clean off its hinges and walks straight through. Brunhilde aren’t building momentum anymore. They’ve got it.
Brunhilde’s spring tour runs across Germany from 25th April — 8th May 2026.
