PRESS RELEASE:
GLORY TO THE SACRED LAND
by BLOODSHED WALHALLA
Glory to the Sacred Land is the sixth studio album by Bloodshed Walhalla recorded at the Firesword Studio in Matera. The album is a concept divided into six epic songs and in perfect Viking style where the glorious deeds and events of a Viking warrior are told, from the departure towards the battlefield to his agony and despair after the war until his return to home. The first song is "Fly my Raven", fast and melancholic where Drakhen tells the vicissitudes of the protagonist who leaves everything he holds most dear, identifies himself with the figure of the God Odin asking his crows to watch over and protect his woman that he may never see again, so our warrior leaves his land and is ready for battle.
"Glory to the Sacred" Land is the second song that gives the band its official album and single its name. In full Viking style, Drakhen praises the Gods through the prayers of the protagonist of the concept destined to die in battle and while fighting ferociously he sees the light of the sacred lands of Valhalla.
"A star for my Victory" is the third song, length and epicity which are the fundamental characteristics of the one-man-band where Drakhen tells the story of the dying warrior who, after the ferocious battle, lost and bleeding, finds himself on the shores of a lake to pray to the Gods to welcome him gloriously in Valhalla.
"Non sei tu" is the fourth piece sung entirely in Italian. Our warrior in full mystical crisis feels death coming and sees Odin in the mist but black shadows lurk in the trees on the lakeside and threaten his glorious victory and redemption towards Valhalla.
In the fifth piece "Il Lago", mixed between Italian and English, our warrior pushed by an extraterrestrial force gets up and desperately tries to escape the black shadows, with all the strength and glory of his name he fights the dark shadows on the bank of the lago managing to get the better of it to then remember his personal victory in his dreams every night for years to come.
The last track of the album is "Rise and fight, glory and victory". After all the vicissitudes, our warrior finds himself face to face with Odin who, gently and proud of his courage, shows him the way back home.
