Satanic North Releases First Single "War"

A new Satanic Panic is on its way! Satanic North is what happens when you let two well-known Finnish metal artists stare into the abyss for too long: Petri Lindroos (Ensiferum, Warmen) and Janne Parviainen (Ensiferum) are well-traveled, experienced musicians who have stared into said abyss long enough for the abyss to stare back with interest at some point.

The self-titled debut album will be released on April 19th, via Reaper Entertainment. The band has now released a visualizer video for the album's first single, "War." You can check it out below.

Bloodbound Reveals New Live Album Details

2024 marks twenty years of Bloodbound. Twenty years in which the Swedish power metal export has left a lasting impression on fans and the worldwide metal scene. The band can call ten studio albums their own, as well as numerous frenetically-acclaimed festival appearances and tours. Last year alone, the band played a major gig at Masters of Rock Festival, which is featured on their upcoming anniversary live album and Blu-Ray, entitled "The Tales Of Nosferatu - Two Decades Of Blood (2004 - 2024)!" Due out on April 19, 2024 via powerhouse label AFM Records, the pre-sale is now available here.

With songs like "Nosferatu," "The Warlock's Trail," "Battle In The Sky", or new songs of the band's discography like "Drink With The Gods," Bloodbound – who were formed in 2004 by keyboard player Fredrik Bergh and guitarist Tomas Olsson – have quickly established their sound in the world of heavy music. Not only because of their immense talent, but also because of their own affiliation to the metal scene, a dedication that comes with it and the skills to write incredibly good power metal songs.

"What a ride it has been! 10 studio albums, shows in over 25 countries and chart entries from all over the world. When I look back at the last 20 years, I can only say how proud I am of what we have created!" Fredrik Bergh comments. "We're super excited to celebrate 20 years of Bloodbound with this release - together with YOU - our fans! Without you we're nothing!"

In support, Bloodbound are now premiering a single taken off "The Tales Of Nosferatu - Two Decades Of Blood". The anniversary live version of the band's classic "The Warlock's Trail," out now and can be seen below. More...
