Twilight Force - 'At The Heart Of Wintervale' (official album stream)

Τιτλοφορείται "At the Heart of Wintervale" και αποτελεί το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Twilight Force, το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών με την Σουηδική μπάντα να μας λέει σχετικά:

«After what feels like aeons, we can finally proudly unveil the details of our fourth opus. At the Heart of Wintervale. At the Heart of Wintervale is set to be unleashed on January 20th.

While the dwarven forges are busy assembling the physical manifestations of the album, we can all use some time to brush up on old incantations, polish dusty daggers, and re-stir murky potions - for this glorious quest will be upon us before we know it, and for that we must be prepared!

The breathtaking and dramatic cover artwork is once again created by the brilliantly skilled Kerem Beyit. It depicts the tale told in the title track of the album - where an evil curse is broken, and an ancient dragon may finally roam the realms again, free and unfettered!»

Οι Twilight Force μας έρχονται από την Σκανδιναβία (Σουηδία). Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από μία ενδεκάδα έτη και χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους ως "adventure metal". Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερα full length albums και επτά singles...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The legend of Twilight Force began to form in the year 2007 of the Human Era. It was the result of a yearning to bring back the golden age of Epic Symphonic Power Metal. But Twilight Force soon became an entity of its own, evolving and elevating the genre to new heights and sounds.

By fusing triumphant melodies with rich orchestral arrangements and swift performances, Twilight Force creates an intense and immersive experience. Transporting the listener to a magic realm filled with wonder, heroic tales and mesmerising tales from the mythical world known as The Twilight Kingdoms.

Using their vast experience from previous musical endeavours, their classical training, and technical proficiency, Twilight Force spawned the first ever Adventure Metal album in 2014 H.E. - Tales of Ancient Prophecies.

Two more critically acclaimed albums followed in its wake, Heroes of Mighty Magic (2016), and Dawn of the Dragonstar (2019), with the fourth opus At the Heart of Wintervale set for release on January 20th, 2023 on Nuclear Blast Records. At the Heart of Wintervale will be released on CD, Digibook, and Vinyl.

The limited Digibook edition will also include three bonus tracks. The first one is a song, many of the band's loyal knights may somewhat recognize; it is an acoustic blend of some of the older works, featuring an entrancing vocal performance and guitar work by Twilight Force's very own wood elf Aerendir.

The second and third bonus tracks are orchestral versions of two songs from the album, where fans will have the opportunity to experience a different soundscape, and perhaps discover new exciting elements and intricacies never discerned before. With the band embarking on a headlining tour through Europe and UK on time with the album’s release, Twilight Force look immensely forward to continue their epic tale.»
