Swiss melodic rockers, Fighter V, have unleashed the new single and official video, “Raging Heartbeat”, taken from their upcoming album, Déja Vu, set for release on April 10 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band described the new single as “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!”
The band talked about how the album came to life: “Deja Vu is our third album, after Fighter and Heart Of The Young. It was recorded, mixed and mastered in 2025 in the Swiss studio “Little Creek” by the engineer Pulver and produced by Emmo Acar. The vocals and production work happened externally. The vocal recordings and production were done by Ronny Lang aka “The Voicefinder” in his own studio in cooperation with Emmo. The keyboard was produced, played and recorded by Victor Olsson, with whom we already worked on the keys of the album before. Background vocals were done separately by Emmo, Victor, Tess and Ronny. Saxophone as well by Magnus Hägglund.”
“The album contains a variety of styles, like the previous one, thanks to the cooperation with Dave Niederberger (ex vocalist of FV) and Roman and Emmo. Influenced by our idols from the 80‘s, we are paying tribute to the prime era of Melodic Hardrock/ AOR, which you can hear by the authenticity of our sound”, they continued. “The title Deja Vu is not only the title of the album but also the title of a song of it. This classic French quote portrays the events we see already coming but can’t be saved from them. They will repeat cause some things are written in stone”.
Fighter V burst onto the scene in 2019. Born in Hergiswil, Switzerland, the band draws deep inspiration from classic 1980s hard-rock and arena-rock giants like Whitesnake, Journey, Survivor, and Bon Jovi – channeling that vintage energy into modern melodic rock anthems.
Their debut album, Fighter (2019), recorded in Sweden with producer Jona Tee (H.E.A.T), delivered 12 tracks of keyboard-driven riffs and old-school rock hooks, quickly establishing the band as one of Europe’s most promising new melodic rock acts.
In 2024 they returned with Heart Of The Young, featuring a refreshed lineup led by vocalist Emmo Acar, embracing a renewed but faithful homage to ’80s-era anthemic rock.
Now, with Déjà Vu, Fighter V embark on a new chapter – their first album to be released through Frontiers Records, a pivotal step that brings their sound to a wider global audience. The record is both a nostalgic nod to their roots and a bold evolution: expect the band’s signature blend of stadium-ready riffs, soaring melodies, harmony-rich vocals, and shimmering keyboard textures, now sharpened by matured songwriting and heightened production.
Deja Vu is more than a title – it’s a powerful, time-bending ride through the golden age of rock, reimagined by a band reaching new heights.
