Fighter V release a new video for ‘Raging Heartbeat’, as featured on their upcoming album, Déjà Vu, set for release on 10th April 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Asked to describe what the song’s about, the band said that it’s “a song about tearing down the walls of a refined and uptight society and breaking through to times we are missing. A world that is waiting for us to live the way we want and not to live in the past. Be wild and allow yourself to be as you want to be!”
Formed in Hergiswil, Switzerland, Fighter V‘s 2019 debut album, Fighter, was produced by H.E.A.T.‘s Jona Tee. Last year saw the release of Heart Of The Young, featuring a new lineup: Emmo Acar on vocals, Lobe Valentin on guitar, Roman Stalder on bass and Lucien Egloff on drums. Newly signed to Frontiers Records for Déjà Vu, Fighter V are looking to expand into the global music market.
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in 2025 at Swiss studio Little Creek by engineer Pulver, with production by Emmo Acar. Vocal recordings and production were handled by Ronny Lang (aka The Voicefinder) at his own studio in cooperation with Emmo. Keyboards were produced, played and recorded by Victor Olsson, who also contributed to the band’s previous album. Background vocals were provided by Emmo, Tess, Victor and Ronny, with saxophone by Magnus Hägglund.
Describing the album’s direction, the band added: “The album contains a variety of styles, like the previous one, thanks to cooperation with Dave Niederberger (ex-vocalist of Fighter V), Roman and Emmo. Influenced by our idols from the ’80s, we are paying tribute to the prime era of melodic hard rock/AOR, which you can hear in the authenticity of our sound.”
On the album’s title, the band explained: “The title Déjà Vu is not only the album title but also the title of a song on it. This classic French phrase portrays the events we see already coming but can’t be saved from them. They will repeat because some things are written in stone.”
Tracks featured on Déjà Vu are: ‘Raging Heartbeat’, ‘Victory’, ‘Made For A Heartache’, ‘Foolish Heart’, ‘Déjà Vu’, ‘Stand By Your Side’, ‘All Your Love’, ‘Hold The Time’, ‘For All This Time’, ‘Break Those Limits’ and ‘Victim Of Changes’. It can be ordered from Frontiers Music Srl.
