by Grande Rock. In 2013, Dynazty signed a record deal with Spinefarm Records for their fourth studio album ''Renatus'' (Latin for "Rebirth"). This record not only marked a change in the band's sound, and line-up, but lyrical themes as well, instead of focusing on common '80s rock themes such partying and freedom, it included deeper lyrics that concern mortality and spirituality, as well as incorporating religious imagery and themes. The album included one single, "Starlight". In 2016 the band released another album, ''Titanic Mass'', which continued with the band's new more melodic direction, and mature deep lyrical themes. This album again included one single, "The Human Paradox". This was also their last release on Spinefarm. In July 2017, Swedish heavy metal band Amaranthe stated on their Facebook page that Nils Molin would join the band as their permanent vocalist, after filling in for Jake E on tour dates while continuing to sing for Dynazty simultaneously. On 21 July 2018, it was announced that Dynazty had signed to AFM Records. On 27 July, the single "Breathe with Me" was released, the first of three singles from their sixth album ''Firesign'', which was released on 28 September 2018. This album featured a more fast-paced and less metal direction than ''Titanic Mass''. "Breathe with Me" was followed by "The Grey" on 24 August 2018, and finally the title track "Firesign" on 14 September. On 30 January 2020, they released the first single from their seventh album ''The Dark Delight'' entitled "Presence of Mind". "Heartless Madness" followed on 28 February and finally "Waterfall" on 13 March. ''The Dark Delight'' was released on 3 April 2020, and marked their second release under AFM Records.
