Interview: Blood Covenant – The Mighty Return of Adept with Vocalist Robert Ljung

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Swedish metalcore powerhouse Adept rise again, ushering in a fierce new era with their long-awaited fifth studio album, Blood Covenant, out October 24, 2025, via Napalm Records. Marking a bold new era after nearly a decade of silence, Blood Covenant captures the band at their most intense, dynamic, and emotionally resonant to date across eleven tightly crafted tracks.

It’s so exciting to have Adept back, and not only does ‘Blood Covenant’ live up to the iconic metalcore band’s status, but it pushes forward, offering fresh ideas and showcasing undeniable creative spirit. Is it the best Adept album to date? That’s a tough call, but it’s certainly impressive that it’s even in the conversation.

We’re not the only ones excited about Adept’s return either, as vocalist Robert Ljung spoke to us and shared a ton of detail about their journey to this point. We also dug into the guts of the album’s creative period, seeing fans embrace the return of Adept with gusto, bringing the new songs to the live stage, and so much more.
