Thomas Carlsen's Transmission announces new album "Clockwork Sky" and drops powerhouse single "Thunderbird"

"Clockwork Sky" is the upcoming sophomore LP from Thomas Carlsen’s Transmission, the Melodic Heavy Metal powerhouse from Norway. Picking up where "A Brave Horizon" left off, Thomas takes us on yet another sonic journey, each track being based around a main theme; the relentless passage of Time.

Carlsen States: "I was unsure of what direction Transmission would take after "A Brave Horizon," which was a blend of several different styles. The writing sessions for "Clockwork Sky" resulted in my most anthemic and hooky tunes yet. It blends the arena rock of the 80's with Modern-Age, Power Metal, in a big way. As I evolve as a songwriter, instrumentalist and producer, I couldn’t help, but add some new elements to the music. I’ve never been more excited to release an album!

For the new record, Carlsen recruited four different vocalists to complement his new songs. Sebastian Palma (Blizzard Hunter), Atli Guðlaugsson (Power Paladin) and Arnaud Ménard (Ecclesia) return after performing on "A Brave Horizon" and Greek powerhouse Mike Livas (Silent Winter) makes his first appearance on the power ballad ‘One with the Storm’. All instrumental performances, as well as mixing duties were handled by Carlsen himself. Norwegian graphic designer, Mina Lynum, returns with yet another stunning artwork to adorn the album cover.

The lead single off the upcoming album is the Power Metal anthem "Thunderbird," which kickstarts the countdown to release day - June 6th, 2025. Carlsen says about the single "Thunderbird" is an empowering tune about the mythological bird-spirit of the Native Americans. It has a huge chorus, performed masterfully by vocalist Arnaud Ménard, and it really sets the tone for the album. From the shred-fest of the lead single, through the 80's arena-chorus of "One with the Storm," to the cinematic theme of the title track, "Clockwork Sky" is sure to satisfy your Heavy Metal cravings, and more.
