March Of The Venus 5
Venus 5
March Of The Venus 5 is the second album by all‑female European pop‑metal group Venus 5, released March 20, 2026 on Frontiers Music. Once again produced by Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere) with songwriting help from Jake E. (ex‑Amaranthe, Cyhra), it reunites vocalists Karmen Klinc, Jelena Milovanovic, Tezzi Persson, Herma, and Erina Seitllari, but pushes their sound into a heavier, more traditional metal direction while keeping the glossy hooks and radio‑ready sheen of their debut. Across 11 tracks, the record blends riff‑driven melodic metal with symphonic touches, electronic layers, and stacked harmonies aimed squarely at fans of Within Temptation, Amaranthe, and modern European power‑pop metal.
The album opens with the bombastic title track “March Of The Venus 5” and “Like A Witch,” both built on pounding drums, hard‑rock riffing, and huge, chant‑along choruses that showcase the “union of voices” reviewers single out as the band’s defining strength. From there, it moves through the big ballad “Far Away,” the more rhythmically adventurous “Set Me Free,” and high‑energy cuts like “Stereotypes,” “Satellite,” and “Invincible,” which several writers note could sit comfortably on an Amaranthe record in their mix of EDM‑tinted keys and driving guitars. Lyrically, the songs lean into empowerment, self‑definition, and “feminine force,” with the band themselves describing the album as a “storm of fire and velvet – wild, electric, and impossible to hold,” an image critics pick up on when they praise its sleek production, tightly marshalled arrangements, and the way the five singers trade and stack lines into a single, formidable pop‑metal front.
