Swedish rockers Smash Into Pieces have unveiled their new single ‘Heroes’ – their version of Eurovision 2015’s winning entry by Måns Zelmerlöw. Stream the single now.
Smash Into Pieces’ guitarist Per Bergquist comments: “We loved ‘Heroes’ when it was released, so it’s an honor to create our own interpretation of the song! Our sound is quite different compared to Måns, but ‘Heroes’ is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and we’ve brought out the wolf”.
The new track follows their previous chart-topping singles, including ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Heroes Are Calling.’ Both songs have seen significant streaming numbers, with ‘Six Feet Under’ earning double Platinum status and ‘Heroes Are Calling’ achieving Gold within weeks of its release.
Known for their distinctive futuristic and apocalyptic aesthetic, Smash Into Pieces have also gained recognition for their cinematic mini-series ‘ARCADIA WORLD,’ which explores a parallel virtual reality. Their live performances are marked by powerful choruses and an energetic presence, drawing audiences into what has been described as a “digital cybertronic circus”.

With over a billion streams and views, the band have established a strong global presence. In 2022, they supported Evanescence and Within Temptation on the Worlds Collide Tour, further expanding their reach. 2023 saw Smash Into Pieces achieve a new milestone when ‘Six Feet Under’ placed #3 in the Swedish Eurovision competition. This was followed by a busy touring schedule across Europe and the US, with a total of over 150 live shows throughout the year.
2024 began on a high note as the band once again competed in Swedish Eurovision, where they reached #3 in the grand final, and their single topped Swedish radio charts for four weeks. The band ended their year with their sold-out UK headline tour, supported by From Fall To Spring, including London’s Electric Ballroom.
