FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SÖNUS Unleash New Single “Pagan Woman”
First Offering from Upcoming Album Planes of Torment

Release Date: February 14, 2026
Genre: Hard Rock, Stoner Rock, New Wave of Classic Rock
FFO: Led Zeppelin, The Cult, Uriah Heep

SÖNUS return with “Pagan Woman,” a hypnotic and hard-hitting new single that marks the opening chapter of their forthcoming album Planes of Torment . Set for release on February 14, 2026, the track serves as both invocation and warning, pulling the listener into a heavy metal pilgrimage shaped by loss, obsession, and transformation.

Rooted in the towering legacy of classic hard rock and early heavy metal, “Pagan Woman” fuses massive, blues-soaked riffs, sensual and ritualistic rhythms, and raw, commanding vocals. Drawing influence from bands like Led Zeppelin, The Cult, Uriah Heep, and Mountain, the song explores the unraveling of love and desire through themes of decay and renewal, destruction and rebirth. Heartbreak becomes ceremony. Longing becomes power.

Recorded live in the studio, “Pagan Woman” captures the primal force of a band playing without a safety net. Every note bleeds urgency, channeling obsession and awakening with the grit and grandeur of rock’s golden age. As the first track unveiled from Planes of Torment , it sets the tone for an album forged through hardship, resilience, and an unbreakable belief in the power of Rock.

SÖNUS is the vision of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter David Wachsman , following the Doom Charts–topping success of 2022’s Usurper of the Universe . After a period of personal collapse and reinvention, Wachsman assembled a formidable lineup to bring Planes of Torment to life. The album is the result of more than three years of relentless effort, literally shaped by blood, sweat, and tears.

Planes of Torment is a blistering journey through madness, heartbreak, and survival, recorded live to preserve the raw, untamed intensity of the band’s performances. It is heavy, human, and unflinchingly honest. The journey begins with “Pagan Woman.”
