The legendary axe-slinger returns, signing with Frontiers Music and ready to unleash her dark fairytale on the metal world.

In a monumental move for the metal scene, Lita Ford, the trailblazing guitarist and vocalist, has officially inked a deal with Frontiers Music Srl. After a decade since her last solo venture, "Living Like A Runaway," Ford is ready to unleash a new beast upon the world, once again teaming up with the formidable guitarist and producer Gary Hoey. This potent collaboration promises to deliver the heavy riffs and melodic prowess that fans have come to expect from the Queen of Metal.

Mark your calendars for October 27, as Ford's electrifying new single, "Dracula," will be haunting the airwaves. Produced by Hoey and mixed by the legendary Max Norman, the track features a powerhouse lineup with Ford on vocals, Hoey shredding on guitar, and Bobby Rock laying down the thunderous drums. In a thrilling statement, Lita exclaimed, "Prepare to die 'Dracula'!! Brace yourself!" The anticipation for this new chapter in her storied career is palpable.

Jeff Stevenson, GM of Frontiers Label Group, expressed his elation over Ford's signing, stating, "Lita is a true rock icon — an artist whose influence, musicianship, and unmistakable attitude have inspired generations." This partnership marks a significant moment for both the label and Ford, as she embarks on a creative journey that promises to resonate with hardcore rock fans and new listeners alike.

During a recent interview with SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk," Lita revealed the album is complete and even teased a killer duet with German metal queen Doro Pesch, alongside a collaboration with Jean Beauvoir. Describing the album as a thematic experience reminiscent of classic records, she stated, "I wanted it to be a great team that's gonna support this record. And we got a great team now."

Reflecting on the evolving music industry landscape, Ford recognizes the challenges but remains optimistic. "I'm just grateful that we're still here, we're still rocking, we still have our great fans. And they're ready for some new rock and roll. So we're gonna give it to 'em," she declared, embodying the spirit of resilience that defines the metal community.

With the promise of a dark fairytale concept album, rich with characters and visceral guitar riffs, the metal world is bracing itself for Lita Ford's return. As she gears up for the release of "Dracula" and her full-length album in 2026, one thing is clear: Lita Ford is far from done, and her legacy continues to unfold in thrilling ways.
