History & Biography
The unfortunately named Stockholm-based power metal/electronica band was founded when Edwin Premberg met Emma Bensing in 2015. Edwin and Emma started to co-operate with Danish producer Jacob Hansen to write songs. The Swedish melodic metal band Metalite released its debut album Heroes In Time through Inner Wound Recordings in late 2017.

The group switched to AFM for its second record. Erica Ohlsson was on vocals since 2019. A single called Full Moon appeared in 2022. The band was booked for several European festivals in 2022 including Sabaton Open Air and Oslo Summer Metal Fest. Drummer Alfred Fridhagen was helping out in 2023 and accompanied the band at Rock Imperium Festival. Expedition One arrived in January of 2024 and was supported through a video for the song Blazing Skies. The band was touring Europe with Leaves Eyes, Northtale and Catalyst Crime. Heart Of Music Agency (Belphegor, Disbelief, etc.) became the group's manager. Drummer Lea Larsson left in 2024. Metalite signed a worldwide contract with Perception, a division of Reigning Phoenix Music, and released a single, Our Time Has Come, in early 2026. Erik Juntilla was the drummer. Metalite had a video clip for the song Starchild, which was from the band's forthcoming album Discovery. It was slated for the autumn of 2026.

Lea Larsson is a transgender person and advocate.
