ENSIFERUM released their new album titled "Winter Storm".  Much of the new material emerged in the lockdown era, when ENSIFERUM's founding guitarist Markus Toivonen set himself the challenge of finding new ways to make music -- eventually composing every song except the rousing, anthemic “Fatherland,” written by bassist Sami Hinkka. The addition of singer/organist Pekka Montin's crystal-clear melodic high notes provided a tremendous boost on Thalassic. But on Winter Storm -- a fantasy concept narrative penned by Hinkka -- Montin's super-strong voice finds its optimal place in ENSIFERUM's sound. Bringing to life such grandiose, heroic material, the singer emerges as one of the greatest vocal discoveries of the decade. "The way I see it, this album is more like a 'musical' than a traditional album," says Hinkka. "The lyrics of Winter Storm are based on part of my unpublished fantasy book. One day it will be out… I don’t want to reveal the...

TROLLWAR will release “Tales from the Frozen Wastes” EP on November 15th, 2024. “We think our album could really be described as a renewal. A renewal of our music and a new maturity for our music. We do think that you can hear it through our songs in this release. “The Unseen One” and “In the Fields of Frost” are both great songs that we wrote a couple of years ago, while “Bane of the Underworld” and “The Offering” are pretty much the new Trollwar that you should expect going forward. These two songs show a clear upgrade of how we write our music.” “Tales from the Frozen Wastes” promises to be Trollwar‘s most complex and complete release to date, showcasing the band’s evolution towards a more melodic and symphonic sound while incorporating progressive elements. The EP features five tracks, including a prologue, that will transport listeners into a darker dimension ruled by shadows and supreme deities. TRACKLIST 01. Prologue (2:00)   02. The Unseen One (7:05) ft. Keyboard...

November 1st, 2024, you can expect RUNAHILD's track "Seidrúnar" revisited by the artist. She shared the following news  This is a long time dream come true! Ever since I started experimenting with electronic music I have been wanting to make a new version of my song Seidrúnar, mixing the old inspiration and organic instruments together with electronic beats and synthesisers. It has been a journey of trial and error that went on for years, with several drafts that either led nowhere or gave birth to entirely different songs instead… for the little anecdote, this is actually how “In Between Worlds” came to life. This is one out of several of my older songs that I am currently revisiting. All the songs are entirely re-recorded and re-arranged. The idea is to create new soundscapes, not just remix old projects. Hence I decided to come up with alternative titles for each one of those songs, additional to the original name. My aim is to release a full album later, or maybe an E...
