Wardrum - "Rise" (lyric video)
Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία για τους Wardrum. Ο διάδοχος του album "Awakening" (Οκτώβριος 2016) και πέμπτος συνολικά δίσκος των Ελλήνων metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "Mavericks" κι έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του τρέχοντος μήνα. Το album είναι concept και βασίζεται στην ιστορία - βιβλίο ("Mavericks - The Story Of The Messenger") που έγραψε ο drummer της μπάντας.
Οι Wardrum μας εξηγούν: «Along with the new album "Mavericks", Wardrum will also release “Mavericks - The Story Of The Messenger”, a novella of 130 pages, written by Stergios Kourou. The book combines mythology, fantasy, and contemporary views on the ancient world, telling the story of the winged faceless Messenger that appears in all Wardrum albums’ artwork. The story will be available as a limited edition printed book, as well as a downloadable ebook, in English.»
Οι Wardrum δημιουργήθηκαν στην βόρεια Ελλάδα πριν από ένδεκα χρόνια. Ως προς το μουσικό τους ύφος; «Wardrum is a group of passionate musicians that use their own metal music blend in the likes of Judas Priest, Riot, and Symphony X, with motivational lyrics, to inspire and hopefully awaken self-confidence to people who want to give their dreams another chance.»
Δελτίο τύπου: «Wardrum celebrate their ten years of making music with 11 brand new songs, a new concept studio album “Mavericks”- to be released on May 28 via Steel Gallery Records.
The new album deals with (or rather, forms the soundtrack to) the story of Messenger, the winged faceless figure that appears on all of their album artwork. "Mavericks" is the result of hard work over the past 2.5 years.
The music maintains the band’s familiar, technical, yet straightforward style, with a few surprises that take the band another step forward in songwriting, storytelling and performance. Kosta Vreto handled the mixing of the album, Strutter is responsible for the mastering, while the artwork and layout of the album is again done by Piotr Szafraniec. We are proud of the result and can't wait for you to hear it!»
Bio: «Founded in 2010 in Thessaloniki Greece, Wardrum play their own style of Metal music, by taking the direction they believe Heavy music should have taken, after its golden era. Having also a slightly epic Greek melodic touch, their music has been described as “Greek composer Chatzidakis meets Judas Priest”!
Wardrum have been determined, not only to work hard and keep doing what they love; but with their music and lyrics, to hopefully become a positive influence in the lives of those who want to become better versions of themselves.
They are most well known for uptempo songs like Travel far Away, The Messenger and After Forever, mid-tempo melodic choruses like Lady Jane Grey and Parental, as well as for more gloomy ones like Sometimes and Skies Of Grey. Wardrum music has been described as a cross between Heavy metal and Prog Power, influenced by among others, Riot, Crimson Glory, and Symphony X.»
