Dwarven power metal warriors Wind Rose have officially returned from the depths of their forge, announcing a brand-new record, Trollslayer, kicking off this epic new chapter with the first single off of the record, “Rock And Stone”, a catchy medieval anthem, fully inspired by the Deep Rock Galactic video game. This track joins the band’s consistently delivered powerful hits since their formation in 2009, including viral sensation “Diggy Diggy Hole”. Trollslayer follows the success of 2022’s Warfront, promising to be the perfect blend of signature party anthems alongside select deeper, more serious tracks, solidifying Wind Rose’s reputation as a powerhouse in the modern power metal scene. On Trollslayer, the band comments, “We spent more than 2 years working on Trollslayer, a new Dwarf Metal opera that will entertain you with fast riffs, beer and fun. With Trollslayer we didn’t only keep all the key elements of Dwarf metal, we also brought back the fast paced rhythms typical of our previous albums. Both Wintersaga and Warfront have had a great impact on our fans, even if they have many differences in style. With Trollslayer we unified all the best features of both albums and we are delivering what we believe is the best Dwarf Metal experience so far. We can’t wait to play some of these new songs live for you, are you ready?!”
Trollslayer will be released on October 4th via Napalm Records. Pre-orders are now available here.
