Released in late 2014 via AFM Records, Stormborn marks the powerhouse sixth studio album from Swedish metal veterans Bloodbound. This release finds the band leaning into epic, "sword-and-shield" themes, delivering a high-octane blend of melodic power metal characterized by speed, orchestral flair, and a heavy, muscular attack.
The album showcases the band's evolution toward a more anthemic sound, drawing comparisons to genre leaders like Sabaton and Powerwolf. Listeners can expect a masterclass in the genre, featuring:
- Soaring Vocals: Patrik Johansson’s commanding vocal performance leads the charge.
- Dual-Guitar Mastery: Fast-paced riffs and technical precision define the record's energy.
- Orchestral Depth: Fredrik Bergh’s prominent keyboards add a grand, cinematic atmosphere to the melodic arrangements.
- Catchy Anthems: A focus on speedy, direct songwriting and infectious choruses.
Critically acclaimed as one of the band’s strongest efforts in years, Stormborn is a must-have for fans of European power metal who crave a balance of melodic sensibility and heavy-hitting production. Whether you are a longtime follower or a newcomer to the "Bloodbound" fold, this CD is a definitive statement of epic metal at its finest.
