Schwedens Power Metal Outfit BLOODBOUND kündigt mit dem neuen Song erneut das nächste Album „Tales From The North“ für den 07. Juli an. Die bereits zehnte Output der Band wird dann als Doppel-CD Digipak inklusive einer Live CD erscheinen. Dass der neue Track, ein paar Viking-Folk-Einflüsse mitbringt, wird wegen der ohnehin vorhanden Bandbreite der Band sicher keinen stören.
BLOODBOUND erklären zu Song und Longplayer:
“The song is about the belief in an afterlife in the great halls of Valhall,“ says lead guitarist Tomas Olsson. „It was a strong motivating force for the Viking warriors going into battle. To drink with the gods in Valhall was the highest honor. Only the fallen warriors that the god Odin deemed brave and worthy enough could reach Valhall. This belief shaped the way Vikings lived their lives and honoured the fallen.
Tales From The North’ is very much a concept album about the viking era. About the lives of our ancestors up here in the dark, cold and unfriendly environments of the north. Different legends and myths intertwine during the course of the songs, leading up to the epic battle of 1066, which marks the end of the viking era.”
