Bio:
Bloodbound is a Swedish power metal band formed in 2004. They released their first album, Nosferatu, in 2005 and their second, Book of the Dead, in May 2007. The brainchild of former Street Talk members Fredrik Bergh and Tomas Olsson, the band has also included Michael Bormann (Jaded Heart), Urban breed (Tad Morose) and Pelle Åkerlind (Morgana Lefay). Their debut album Nosferatu featured former Tad Morose singer Urban breed on vocals. Released on 16 December 2005 (in Japan; European release date 24 February 2006), Nosferatu features artwork by Mark Wilkinson (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Marillion) and received an early rave review from the Swedish rock magazine Power Play. Based solely on the strength of their debut album, the band opened for Evergrey and headlined day one of the Gothenburg Metal Festival.After Urban breed announced his departure from Bloodbound in fall 2006, former Tad Morose singer Kristian Andrèn briefly joined the band for some live dates. In March 2007, they announced their new singer, German Michael Bormann, who laid down vocals on the band's second album Book of the Dead. Bormann, however, played no live shows with Bloodbound: for their first performance after releasing Book of the Dead (9 June 2007 at Sweden Rock Festival), Urban breed handled the vocal duties. Urban also performed with the band at subsequent shows, including Bollnäs Festivalen, 21 July 2007. Bloodbound played two sets, both backed up by a symphony orchestra. For the second set they backed Paul Di'Anno of Iron Maiden fame. In October 2007, they announced that original singer Urban breed had officially re-joined and would sing during the band's tour in support of HammerFall. On 13 April 2010, breed announced on his forum that Bloodbound had decided to continue with another singer, ending his second tenure with the band.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 Web site, 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.In 2009 the band signed a worldwide deal with the label Blistering Records for their third album release, titled Tabula Rasa. The album was set for release on 26 April 2009.
Album:
"Tales From The North" is the title of the tenth studio album by Swedish power metal band Bloodbound. Once again a solid, catchy orchestral and symphonic direction without losing the passion for anthemic tracks. Bloodbound earned its standing in the worldwide metal scene through an exemplary discography and a lot of diligence. This is shown in much touring through 25 countries with bands like Sabaton, U.D.O. and HammerFall, as well as a first chart entry in 2017 with the album "War Of Dragons", which was succeeded with the followers "Rise Of The Dragon Empire" and "Creatures Of The Dark Realm". Now "Tales From The North" is ready to be released and one can claim that the Swedes have succeeded herewith their probably best work. A logical further development of the last albums, which consolidates the stronger influences of Nordic folk music fitting effortlessly into the typical Bloodbound sound. On July 7th 2023 it will be anthemic, fantastic and great again, without losing the certain hardness of power metal! With "Tales From The North" Bloodbound tells once again rousing stories from the realm of the Vikings and Celts.
