The six-piece has proven their versatility and inventiveness countless times, and\u00a0<strong>Tales From The North\u00a0<\/strong>will make no exception; those who already know the sound of\u00a0<strong>Bloodbound<\/strong>\u00a0can imagine the metallic force the band employs to evoke this story. As lead guitarist Tomas Olsson recently unveiled:<br \/><em>\u201c\u2019Tales From The North\u2019 is very much a concept album about the viking era. About the lives of our ancestors up here in the dark, cold and unfriendly environments of the north. Different legends and myths intertwine during the course of the songs, leading up to the epic battle of 1066, which marks the end of the viking era<\/em>.\u201d<br \/><br \/>After the band kicked off the new year with first album single &#8220;Odin\u2019s Prayer&#8221;, today, they are presenting a new track taken of their\u00a0<strong>Tales From The North<\/strong>! Says\u00a0Fredrik Bergh comments. \u201cThe Raven&#8217;s Cry is one of my favorite tracks on the album. Here we have mixed our nordic folk music influences with an almost hymn-like chorus.\u201c<br \/><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br \/><strong>Tales From The North<\/strong>\u00a0was produced by\u00a0<strong>Bloodbound<\/strong>, and was mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren (Amorphis, Overkill, Sabaton) at the Swedish \u2018Black Lounge Studios\u2019. The cover artwork was created by P\u00e9ter Sallai (Hammerfall, Powerwolf &amp; many more).<br \/><br \/>Olsson continues:\u00a0<em>\u201cThe songs are more fast-paced and closer to some of our earlier stuff like \u2019Moria\u2019 and \u2019Nosferatu\u2019, but have more complex arrangements. Compared to the predecessor \u201aCreatures Of The Dark Realm\u2018 there are heavier guitars and some deeper sounding keyboards. We have also incorporated some traditional nordic folk music instruments to fit the concept of the album. It`s still pure power metal but we\u2019re trying to take it to the next level.\u201d<\/em><strong> Pre-Order \u2018Tales From The North\u2019\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.promojukebox.com%2Fnwldel%2Flink%2F%3Fnlsendlistid%3D4355752%26checkcode%3D9c92d5e925c1b44f%26urlcc%3D1ae0415ec67bd410%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fshop.afm-records.de%252Fbloodbound%252F&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7C14be72172bf045fbaac708daf576f521%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638092188513513665%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=PGu6A9CRV%2Bs6SDVa3tzyy%2FuNSLx5sXpNIKYmRiVfWII%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\">HERE!<\/a><\/strong><br \/><br \/>Tales From The North\u00a0track listing:<br \/>01.
