Krilloan has released "Return Of The Heralds", second single and titletrack taken from the new album to be released on September 20th by Scarlet Records.
"Return Of The Heralds" – featuring Evermore's Johan Haraldsson & Johan Karlsson – is a tribute to the mighty "The Stormlight Archive" series by Brandon Sanderson. They swore the Oathpact to always return to mankind’s aid in face of the devastation of the Desolations of Odium, to die and live again. To endure torture in hell, until they finally would break, causing another desolation to ravage the world. Or so it was, until one man was betrayed and left to suffer torture alone in hell. He gave mankind four thousand years to rebuild, to live – for he did not break.
ETERNAL CHAMPIONS OF POWER METAL sophomore record for the 2022 Swedish classic metal revelation; hammering power-speed metal with a flair for storytelling and big melodic lines to get you pumping; cover & artwork by Alvaro Valverde/AV Art Ilustracion (Elvenking, Unanimated, Verikalpa); guest appearances by Johan Haraldsson & Johan Karlsson (Evermore), Jack Reynolds & Tom O'Dell (Battle Born) and Magnus Holmström (Swedish folk master and HammerFall live guest); for fans of Judas Priest, Blind Guardian, HammerFall, Helloween, Lost Horizon, Evertale ...
Following the success of the blazing debut album “Emperor Rising”, “Return Of The Heralds” delivers yet more fast melodic tunes living and prospering in the realm of traditional power-speed metal.
The new Krilloan record is once again a heartfelt homage to the "good ol' times" of classic heavy metal and sword & sorcery entertainment that shaped them. Epic and fierce battle hymns about Conan the Barbarian, Elric of Melniboné, "Warhammer 40.000" and those never-ending days spent in a world beyond our own: this is the conceptual foundation of the Swedish band led by guitarist Klas Holmgren, with a clear focus on a well-crafted and always well-balanced songwriting as well.
One thing is for certain: you will never be bored listening to a Krilloan album!
