Metalite is a power metal band from Sweden.

History[edit]

Metalite is a band from Stockholm, Sweden. Edwin Premberg (guitars) and Emma Bensing (vocals) met in 2015 and shared their ideas for a music band. The band was completed in 2016 with Lea Larsson (drums), Robert Örnesved (guitar), and Robert Majd (bass). They are influenced by bands such as Amaranthe, Stratovarius and Within Temptation.[1] They signed a deal with Inner Wound Recording and released their first album, Heroes in Time, in October 2017.[2] Emma left the band in 2019, being replaced by Erica Ohlsson. The band signed a new deal with AFM Records and released their second album, Biomechanicals.

All live shows and tours were canceled in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, so the band used digital promotion and social media sites as a replacement. Besides that, they used the time to write new songs, practice and prepare future concerts. The band returned in 2022 with a concert at Ciudad Real, three years after their previous one.[1] Later in the year they played at the Sweden Rock Festival 2022., which was also closed in 2020 and 2021 because of the lockdowns.[1]

Drummer Lea Larsson broke her foot in 2023, so Joel Kollberg and Alfred Fridhagen temporarily replaced her in festivals.[1]

Expedition One, released in 2024, is a concept album set in 2055, about the space colonization of an exoplanet.[1]
