German progressive power metal band Induction have unveiled their new single "Queen Of Light" today.

An accompanying music video for the song, which can be seen below, was filmed by Suhrreal Film with editing from Ingo Spörl. The band said this about the new song:

"It's finally here - the new single from INDUCTION! 'Queen Of Light' takes you on a melodic journey through the power metal universe, with stories of betrayal, passion, lost love, new beginnings, and the hope for a bright future. It was one of the very early songs written with the outlook for the sophomore album, and it went through many changes and revisions, before it was finally in the state it is now. We are very happy how it turned out and therefore invite you to listen to, enjoy, cherish, and share it to your hearts' content."

“Queen of Light” stems from the band’s forthcoming studio album, which will be released later this year on Atomic Fire Records. “Queen of Light” is available on digital services right now.

Induction recently announced the departure of drummer Kian Kiesling. Replacing them behind the drum kit is Dominik "Dome" Zester, who plays in the bands ÆRIES and Schimmerling.

The band said this about the lineup change:

"After some thinking back and forth, we decided to go separate ways, so that both he [Kiesling] and INDUCTION can work on their projects with full power! We wish him all the best and will watch his further musical career with excitement! Thank you for everything, Kian, and good luck!"

Kiesling said:

"Even though we are going separate ways now, I want to thank INDUCTION for the wonderful time we spent and for the experiences we made together. I encourage all fans to keep listening to their music, and I wish them and their new [session] drummer Dome all the best!"

Dome stated:

"It's a pleasure to join INDUCTION in terms of touring, music videos, and other plans until the end of the year, perhaps beyond. I'm excited to meet you all and look forward to spending time with the band. It's gonna be a great time, I'm sure! Thanks to the guys and the team for your trust, let's rock!"
