BLOODBOUND – War Of Dragons (February 24, 2017)

Bloodbound are set to release War Of Dragons album in February via AFM Records!

Swedish power metal masters Bloodbound have announced the arrival of their new studio album, titled War Of Dragons for February 24th. During the past few years, Bloodbound have established themselves as one of the finest metal acts from their traditionally strong home country of Sweden, having toured Europe with the likes of Sabaton and U.D.O. All this experience now shows in War Of Dragons, which is likely to be the band’s most anthemic, bombastic and fast-paced album ever.

War Of Dragons tracklist:

1. “A New Era Begins”
2. “Battle In The Sky”
3. “Tears Of A Dragonheart”
4. “War Of Dragons”
5. “Silver Wings”
6. “Stand And Fight”
7. “King Of Swords”
8. “Fallen Heroes”
9. “Guardians At Heaven’s Gate”
10. “Symphony Satana”
11. “Starfall”
12. “Dragons Are Forever”

Despite the band’s apparent black metal image (the band members have worn make-up in the “corpse paint” style in the promotional photos on their albums and website, and during some live shows), Bloodbound‘s music does not fit into the black metal category. Instead, it is more similar in style to power metal bands such as Helloween and Iron Maiden, although the lyrics sometimes approach darker subjects.

This is a description of what the band stands for and the meaning behind their name, in their own words, “Bloodbound is a term that originates from the dark ages when men would make an oath to each other called a “blood oath” where they would each cut their hands and then shake, mixing the blood. Each man then carries the other’s blood, linking the two, as blood brothers. A bloodbound can never be broken and will follow you into the afterlife and beyond…”
