Album:

Wind rose released their fourth album ‘Wintersaga’ via Napalm Records.After, the singles “Diggy Diggy Hole” and ‘Drunken Dwarves, they revealed the title-track ‘Wintersaga’.After their breakthrough album Stonehymn, appearances at major festivals as Bloodstock Open Air and successful tours with bands like Finntroll, Wintersun, Ensiferum and Eluveitie, WIND ROSE are now ready to continue their journey through mountains, ice and snow! The Dwarven army is now stronger than ever and so will be the next album. The Dwarf and his army are coming and with them a new wave of folk power metal! Our statement: “Dwarves from all around the world, this September we will gather our axes and hammers once again to retake what belongs to us. Hear the call of the last moon of autumn, feel the approaching shiver of Durin’s Day, we will rewrite the books with a new story that begins with the WINTERSAGA.” Napalm Records’ statement: „We don`t write songs, we smith them against the anvil.“ And that`s power metallers WIND ROSE in a nutshell! The five-piece that started out in Pisa, Italy in 2009 is no secret to genre connoisseurs thanks to three well-received albums and tours with Wintersun, Ensiferum and many more. But now their big moment in the spotlight has come – WIND ROSE are ready for the final breakthrough with WINTERSAGA! They have perfected their mixture of heroic steel and folky, mead-drenched anthems in the meantime: party tunes don`t get better than “Drunken dwarves”. Seriously. Counterbalance arrives in shape of epic power metal anthems like “The Art Of War” or “We Were Warriors”, carefully treading the fine line between neck-breaking riffing and dramatic orchestration. A highly entertaining and unforgettable ride over mountains, snow and ice!

Album:

The five-piece from Pisa, Italy - which saw a massive breakthrough with their explosively viral reimagination of Minecraft-themed anthem "Diggy Diggy Hole" (clocking in at over 30 million views on YouTube to date) - have sharpened their swords, resurging with ten heroic songs to prepare for battle. Monumental opener "Of War and Sorrow" makes way for gut-punching "Army of Stone", immediately getting your blood pumping when the power and folk metal infused hook kicks in - a feat WIND ROSE deftly displays across Warfront! No matter how vast the storm, how frostbitten the winter cold, WIND ROSEs sense for sensational hooks and catchy riffs, topped by Francesco Cavalieris distinct voice, careens them to the forefront of their dark and sinister contemporaries without forfeiting their unique heaviness and grit!Shortly after WIND ROSE pushes their songwriting to the maximum on the multi-phased "I Am the Mountain", they swiftly take a a step back to build momentum from the ground up before releasing the listener into Warfronts grand finale, "Tomorrow Has Come" - unmatched battle lore, atmosphere and top-notch production all come together for one of the most anticipated power metal albums of the year! WIND ROSE fully deliver unlimited amounts of dwarven adventures, dramatic orchestra arrangements and pure fun on Warfront - replay value guaranteed!

Wind Rose - Trollslayer (Digipak Edition) (2024)

Album:

On paper, a band from Italy dubbed as “Dwarf Metal” may have you scratching your head. Yet when you listen to Wind Rose, it just works and it just makes sense. The quintet from the Tuscany region takes the festive feel of Folk Metal and the playfulness from Power Metal to create this fantastical new genre. Their unique merry-making is greatly contagious and explains why they are rapidly growing in popularity. They are now getting ready to release their sixth full-length record, Trollslayer (Napalm Records) that advances the band’s well-known jovial sound. They have managed to take all their best features, importantly multiple songs about beer, and compiled it all into this new album.The record starts off with an instrumental intro that sets the mood. The listener will begin to feel like they want to go on an adventure when the keys, brass, and chanting swells. The short, pump-up piece leads directly into “Dance of the Axes” which really gets the party started. Speedy guitars sing and a bouncy bombasticness is unleashed. All the numbers like “Home of the Twilight” and “Legacy of the Forge” carry these happy, go-lucky moments that instantly have the listener headbanging along with one fist flying in the air while the other one should be holding an axe or tankard. The upbeat rigor and boisterous gruff from frontman Francesco Cavalieri joyfully tells tales of a day in the life of a dwarf. Every song has catchy, sing-along choruses where the listener will begin to feel like one of these short-statured creatures themselves.The anthem-like numbers “The Great Feast Underground,” “To Be a Dwarf,” and “No More Sorrow” makes one crave a strong drink in the best of ways. “Rock and Stone” and “Trollslayer” have crunchy riffs, cherry choruses, with a delightfully heavy bottom end giving them a rough and tough medieval feel. This album carries on the well-rounded fun this band is known for and is guaranteed to lift the spirits. Wind Rose is a bright spot in the scene and continues to make truly mirthful and amusing music.
