Hear ye, all mortals of the Twilight Kingdoms! Hear ye!!
During the past few years, Swedish adventure metallers TWILIGHT FORCE have been crafting their new opus, “At the Heart of Wintervale,” which will be released on January 20th via Nuclear Blast. Three years after the release of the last album, “Dawn Of The Dragonstar,” it is time to tell new stories and continue the incredible epos of TWILIGHT FORCE.
TWILIGHT FORCE comments:
“After what feels like aeons, we can finally proudly unveil the details of our fourth opus: ‘At the Heart of Wintervale.’
‘At the Heart of Wintervale’ is set to be unleashed on January 20th. While the dwarven forges are busy assembling the physical manifestations of the album, we can all use some time to brush up on old incantations, polish dusty daggers, and re-stir murky potions – for this glorious quest will be upon us before we know it, and for that we must be prepared! The breathtaking and dramatic cover artwork is once again created by the brilliantly skilled Kerem Beyit. It depicts the tale told in the title track of the album – where an evil curse is broken, and an ancient dragon may finally roam the realms again, free and unfettered!”

“At the Heart of Wintervale” will consist of 8 captivating tales from far and wide, and will have a running time of approximately 45 minutes. The songs are all stories and legends from the Twilight Kingdoms, gathered over years of meticulous research, and will further explore and delve into the vast and magical world of its realms.
“At the Heart of Wintervale” will be released on CD, Digibook, and Vinyl. The limited Digibook edition will also include three bonus tracks. The first one is a song which many of TWILIGHT FORCE‘s loyal knights may somewhat recognize; it is an acoustic blend of some of the older works, featuring an entrancing vocal performance and guitar work by TWILIGHT FORCE‘s very own wood elf Aerendir. The second and third bonus tracks are orchestral versions of two songs from the album, where fans will have the opportunity to experience a different soundscape, and perhaps discover new exciting elements and intricacies never discerned before.
