Die australischen VALHALORE mischen in ihrer Musik Folk mit Elementen von Melodic Death, Power und Symphonic Metal Spielarten. Während die Brisbaner Band in ihrer Heimat wohl durchaus bekannt ist, steht die Eroberung Europas noch weitgehend aus. Das will die Band wohl mit ihrem „Beyond the Stars“ Album ändern, das am 11. April erscheinen wird.

Als zweite Vorabauskopplung ist heute ein Video zum ruhigen `Wayfinder` online gegangen, nachdem `Horizon` durchaus Schnelligkeit und Härte zeigte.

Sänger und Cellist Lachlan Neate sagt über `Wayfinder`:

“We all come into, and one day leave, this world alone. Some of us are lucky enough to experience true love along the way, and it can guide us and pick us up even on our darkest days. ‘Wayfinder‘ is a song for the lovers, the dreamers, and those of us who know what it’s like to love and be loved in return.”

Lyrics:

I walked through the valley of time

My life, she stood by my side

I hoped to never leave her behind

But when I looked back she was gone

Long now have I clung to a hope

That I’ll someday return to that place

Warm arms for a heart growing cold

And a voice to remember my name

In the tales of my youth I would marvel in awe

As a hero would conquer the day

The dark would dispel as they battle through hell

And their light would show them the way

In my journey of life no hero am I

I will falter and fail every day

When the dark overcomes me, and I stand ashamed

Still a hero to her I remain

In the times of my sorrow I am not alone

And her heart will guide me home

If I fall on my knees she finds courage in me

This is love and I have to believe

At the end of my days when I lay my head down

As the light and my hair start to fade

With a smile in my eyes looking back I can say

In my hope I was never afraid
