Battle Born Announces New Album Details; Debuts Album’s Lead Single, Video

Courtesy: Prosthetic Records

Up-and-coming power metal outfit Battle Born will release its debut album this spring, and in anticipation of its release, debuted the record’s lead single this week along with a companion video.

The band’s new album, Blood, Fire, Magic, and Steel is scheduled for release May 12 through Prosthetic Records. In anticipation of the album’s release, the band debuted the record’s lead single, ‘Blood and Fire‘ Wednesday, along with the song’s video.

The musical arrangement featured in ‘Blood and Fire’ is a work that is sure to appeal to a wide range of metal fans. That is because it blends elements of the new wave of British Heavy Metal a la Judas Priest and Saxon with more modern power/speed metal in the vein of Dragonforce in a way to balances those influences so expertly.

No information was provided about the song’s lyrical theme in the press release announcing the information about the new album, single and video. In listening to the song, it seems to have clear fantasy roots. That is just this critic’s interpretation.

The video that accompanies the song adds to that inference. That is due to the clear story of a knight battling his foes as the band, semi-bathed in blood, performs its single against a wall of what looks like a castle. That even more hints at the fantasy nature of the song’s lyrica ltheme.

‘Blood and Fire’ is one of 11 tracks that make up the body of Battle Born’s new forthcoming album. The record’s track listing is noted below.

Blood, Fire, Magic and Steel tracklist:
1. Wind Caller
2. Dragon Heart
3. Blood and Fire
4. Power Force
5. When Empires Die
6. The Endless Grey
7. Fire Storm
8. Down Your Drinks and Raise Your Swords
9. Meridia
10. Ride North for Winterhold
11. Sky Guard You

Battle Born’s debut album will come less than a year after the band re-issued its self-titled debut EP through Prosthetic Records. The re-issue produced the single, ‘Bring The Metal Back‘ and its video.

Battle Born Debuts ‘Bring The Metal Back’ Video

Power metal band Battle Born premiered its new single and video this week.

The band debuted its new single, ‘Bring The Metal Back‘ and its video Friday. The single is featured in the new re-issue of its debut, self-titled EP, which arrived Friday through Prosthetic Records. The band originally released the EP independently in 2020. The re-issue features the bonus track, ‘Hammer of Might.’

The musical arrangement featured in ‘Bring The Metal Back’ is a driving composition that will appeal to any power metal fan. Its rapid fire drumming and guitar riffs pair with the equally powerful vocals to make it comparable to works from the likes of Dragonforce, Sabaton, and Helion Prime.

The song’s lyrical theme is clearly a promotion of heavy metal. It is very much in the vein of so many classic power metal songs from days gone by, ensuring even more, its appeal among so many metal purists.
