Band
WE ARE FEARLESS V
Debut album out in February 2027
After their joint departure from Primal Fear in the summer of 2024, Tom Naumann (guitar), Alex Beyrodt (guitar), Alex Jansen (bass) and Michael Ehré (drums) are now returning, two years later, with their new band FEARLESS V.
Together with the Italian singer Gianbattista "Jan" Manenti, who completes the line-up of FEARLESS V, the top-class musicians are currently busy with the final touches for their debut album "Circus Life", which will be released in February 2027 by Lucky Bob Records and dsistributed by OPEN.
GIANBATTISTA MANENTI
VOCALS
Jan has known the guys in Fearless V for a long time, especially Michael, whom he has worked with for many years. So when the band came together and started looking for the right singer, it felt like the pieces were slowly falling into place. After listening to various vocalists, the answer was finally clear: “Here I am.”
And we’re incredibly happy to have him as part of the team.
For Jan, Fearless V means much more than simply being in a band. It means believing in yourself, saying yes to that spark of madness that still makes us choose rock ’n’ roll, making music with good friends and discovering new things about yourself, music and life along the way.
He sees huge potential ahead — major festivals, tours around the world and, most importantly, bringing the music to life on stage. Because music like ours simply has a different flavor when it’s LIVE. And above all, it’s about connecting with the audience and sharing the harmony, energy and fun that exist within the band.
TOM NAUMANN
GUITAR
When AJ, Alex, Michael and Tom decided to step away from their musical past two years ago, they already knew that their story wasn’t over. They wanted to join forces again, start a new adventure and create music together. All that was missing was the right voice — and they found it in Gianba, the missing link that completed the team.
For Tom, continuing together was a natural step. Having known and respected each other for years, both on and off stage, the bond between them was simply too strong to let go. Fearless V represents freedom, peace, friendship and, above all, the joy of making music together. Giving 115% of heart and soul, the goal is simple: keep evolving, create killer riffs, write great metal songs and take that music as far around the world as possible.
The adventure has only just begun.
ALEX BEYRODT
GUITAR
"When the dust settled after our previous chapter, one thing was instantly clear: we weren’t done making music together. Over the years, we had built a bond that was simply too strong to let go, and founding Fearless V felt less like a decision and more like the only logical next step."
For Alex, Fearless V stands for pure freedom and energy — a group of long-time brothers playing heavy metal with zero compromises and 100% heart. And the future? "Everything we’ve learned from the past, cranked up to eleven: heavy riffs, massive stage shows and a whole lot of noise on the road very soon.
As Paulo Coelho once wrote: “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” That’s exactly how forming Fearless V felt. The universe aligned, and the timing couldn’t have been better."
ALEX JANSEN
BASS
"Friendship was at the heart of Fearless V from the very beginning." After years of knowing each other and sharing several tours in their former band, Alex and the guys knew they had something special as a team. It simply would have been a shame not to continue making music together.
After the split, it didn’t take long before they started talking about how to keep playing shows together — and this time, they wanted to make metal. For Alex, Fearless V is all about friendship, the power of music and having fun in a serious way while creating the music they love.
Looking ahead, the goal is to leave a positive scar on the melodic, heavy and power metal world, play great shows, meet people all over the globe and find their own place in the universe through festivals, tours and great music. With strong material already in the bag and even more on the way, there’s no intention of slowing down.
MICHAEL EHRÉ
DRUMS
After parting ways with their previous band in the summer of 2024, Alex, Tom, AJ and Michael knew they wanted to continue together. That decision became the foundation of what is now Fearless V — a new chapter built on years of friendship, experience and a shared passion for music.
For Michael, the future is clear: establish Fearless V on the international music scene, make albums, tour the world and bring this band to as many people as possible. And while he’s already incredibly proud of everything the band has achieved so far, he’s convinced that this is only the beginning.
