In November 2015 Vanguard returned with a new single, "I want to live" from their third album with the title "Never surrender". The album was released the 27th of May 2016 and in January 2017 the band released a a second remix-single from this album and a music video for the song A different story. In the spring 2019 the Swedish electronic duo Vanguard is back with their much anticipated new album “Manifest” and a first single from the album called "Save me".

All together the songs make up a perfect mix between danceable beats and powerful ballads. The swedes never compromise in maintaining their trademarks and they develop their own sound even further on “Manifest”. In April 2021 "Ragnarök" was released as a first single from the 5th album SPECTRUM that was later released in July 2022.
