Palantír - 'Chasing a Dream' (album teaser)
Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία πενταετία για τους Palantír. Ο διάδοχος του ντεμπούτου των Σουηδών power metallers ("Lost Between Dimensions" 2017) φέρει τον τίτλο "Chasing a Dream" κι έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει την πρώτη ημέρα του επόμενου μήνα.
Η μπάντα μας το προλογίζει κάπως έτσι: «We are happy to finally announce the release of our second album 'Chasing a Dream', out on March 1st on Stormspell Records. This album is in our minds a perfect way to build on the debut album 'Lost Between Dimensions' where we started.
There will be something for every power metal fan, whether you're into the heavier, the proggier, the shreddier or the more symphonic. We are very happy with the record and so excited for you all to hear it! The stunning cover art comes from Nick Kay, and the album was beautifully mixed and mastered by our very own Cederick Forsberg.»
Οι Palantír μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Σουηδίας, δημιουργήθηκαν προ δεκαετίας, εμπνεύσθηκαν τ' όνομά τους από τον "μαγικό" κόσμο που δημιούργησε ο J.R.R. Tolkien (να ήταν οι μόνοι!) κι αρέσκονται στο "Ευρωπαϊκό" - μελωδικό power metal. Οι ίδιοι διατείνονται πως απευθύνονται στους φίλους συγκροτημάτων όπως οι Falconer, Lost Horizon, Morifade, Nocturnal Rites, Dragonland κλπ.
Bio: «The swedish band Palantír has been playing symphonic power/prog metal for the people of the multiverse since 2012 (although they were founded a couple of years before that). The loyal fanbase has grown increasingly large since the release of the debut album Lost Between Dimensions (2017) which was met with praise from some of the biggest metal magazines in the world (Sweden Rock Magazine, Burrn!).
They've played numerous gigs in Sweden throughout the years and it is a sight to behold. A Palantír show is more than that, the band uses props, costumes and theatrics to help you escape reality and truly immerse yourself in the music.
After the release of their debut album, Fredrik, Marcus and Emanuel started looking for new members in order to play live again. After trying out a few different lineups they are now at full capacity with the additions of Johannes, Calle and Cederick.
All the members bring their own style and influences to create the unique sound of Palantír. With lyrics inspired by movies like Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai, poets like Shakespeare, philosophy and simulation theory, you know you're in for a spectacular ride.»
