Sounds | Unleashed - War Comes Again


De Zweedse death metalband Unleashed draait inmiddels toch al meer dan 35 jaar mee in de scene. In die periode zijn ze bovendien behoorlijk productief geweest. En in traditie daarvan komt deze zomer, om precies te zijn op 15 augustus, van deze mannen het vijftiende full length studio-album uit, via Napalm Records: Fire Upon Your Lands. War Comes Again is daarvan de eerste single en die smaakt zeker naar meer!


UNLEASHED on “War Comes Again”:

"When your enemies do their best to take everything away from you and things look as bad as they can get, you prepare for battle and face the enemy head on! This is fundamentally what being a warrior is all about. You know it’s inevitable that war will come again… and again.”

Lees:


From the very first crushing riffs in “Left for Dead”, as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, Fire Upon Your Lands plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught on “A Toast to the Fallen” while UNLEASHED create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. Meanwhile, “To My Only Son” slows only to strike deeper, it’s haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. In the eclipse they summon the Midgard Warriors with “Hold Your Hammers High!”, an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band’s mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns.


UNLEASHED about the album:


Fire Upon Your Lands is our 15th album in 37 years. It is also a continuation of the storyline from the World of Odalheim, where the Midgard Warriors keep fighting for their way of life against their main enemy “White Christ”. We hope you appreciate this new Blot of 11 songs of pure Viking Death Metal. See you all on the road!”
