Swedish power metal band BLOODBOUND has gathered an impressive following since the band debuted on the scene in 2006 with “Nosferatu”. In 2011, BLOODBOUND joined the AFM Records roster and since became more and more successful with every new release. BLOODBOUND and AFM now proudly announce the continuation of their long-term relationship.
The band’s early albums “Book Of The Dead” and “Unholy Cross” will now finally see the release on Vinyl: both titles are limited to 300 units each (“Unholy Cross” in yellow, “Book Of The Dead” in clear (double) Vinyl) and out on March 30th.
Also, the band’s latest, chartbreaking studio album “War Of Dragons” saw its 2nd Vinyl edition earlier this year, being available on red/yellow splatter Vinyl now (also limited to 300 units).
Bloodbound’s Fredrik Bergh comments:
]]>“We are very happy to have extended our contract with AFM Records. We feel they are the perfect labels for us. AFM have a love for our kind of music and they give us artistic freedom. Unlike other labels they let us do what we wanna do, without trying to change the formula. We are continuously growing as a band and last year AFM did a stellar job putting “War Of Dragons” in the album charts in Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. We are looking forward to taking Bloodbound to the next level together with AFM Records!”
Before first putting on this CD, the clues…artwork, moniker…all pointed to a visceral listening experience. In reality, Bloodbound turned out to be a much more melodic affair. Thankfully this wasn’t too much of a problem.
Thematically, War Of Dragons is characterized by a fascination for dragons. The album boasts a dozen fast, rousing, and anthemic songs. All the band members seem to work well as a tightly knit unit, but the vocals are particularly good – very solid and melodic, with choir vocals underscoring the songs’ dramatic effect. Case in point is ‘King Of Swords’, also one of the album’s heavier songs.
Naysayers will shoot down the album as cliché-ridden. While there is clearly justification in such an accusation, Bloodbound still sound like they’re in control of those clichés. Just listen to the excellent ‘Silver Wings’, which has hooks as gripping as dragons’ claws.
One of the better Power Metal albums of the year…fans of Stratovarius, Avantasia and Sabaton, take note.
