British black metal outfit Winterfylleth have found a new home for themselves after signing with iconic metal label Napalm Records. It’s a major step in the band’s career, but apparently they weren’t done announcing some major stuff because they also have a new album coming in a couple months, as well as a new single right now.
Set for release on March 27, the band’s ninth studio album The Unyielding Season will feature 10 new tracks, including the debut single they put out earlier today titled “Heroes Of A Hundred Fields.” According to the band, the song itself is “framed in a wartime, battlefield setting and uses the premise of soldiers coming together, united as brothers, to fight against a foe who are powerful, oppressive, and domineering.”
“[‘Heroes Of The Undying Fields”] talks about how people should come together and fight for the freedoms they have and not succumb to those who would attack them and try to weaken them (or take them away entirely). There have been so many ideas and schemes pushed into the world over the last few years that only serve to erode people’s personal freedoms, slowly, little-by-little, until they are gone. This song talks about ‘lighting the beacons of rebellion’ against those who would seek to undermine the way of life and freedom that we all – hopefully – hold dear.”
As for the new album itself, the band said The Unyielding Season marks the dawn of a new chapter for the band. Especially with their new signing with Napalm Records.
“In many ways, the new album is a reflection on – and a rebellion against – the turmoil’s and fears that are tearing the lives of many individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable & constant weight of malevolence and pressure being pushed into the world by agents of an un-resting and unyielding force for evil. We hope the album resonates with you, stirs your soul, and gives you a source for hope. But, we also hope it makes you ask questions of your own circumstances and gives you pause to consider the unnerving state of the world we all share.”
The Unyielding Season will be released on March 27 via Napalm Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
