Valkyrie’s Fire are a Symphonic Power Metal band from Nashville, born of true emotional passion that unlocks the deepest mysteries of the soul and ignites our hearts! The band just premiered a new music video for their epic power metal victory anthem “Nectar of the Gods“. This is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming EP album Ascension which will be released on November 8, 2024 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced and mixed by Joey Grimaldi, and mastered by Jack Kosto (Firewind, Seven Spires). The music video for “Nectar of the Gods” was directed by Austin Dellamano of Weems Creative and filmed at Flavor 90’s Bar in Nashville, TN.
“Far too often, people tend to worry about the future, and they often neglect to embrace the present” says male vocalist Adam Sanders. “There is so much to be grateful for, each moment is a celebration of this amazing life we all live, so why not take the time (at least briefly) to celebrate that life and smile – perhaps even with a drink – with some of those people that you hold dear to you?” Female vocalist Bettie Floyd adds, “Adam wrote this as a fun celebration song. In doing so, we wanted the music video to echo that same lighthearted spirit, so we chose to do this video with some of our closest friends in a bar we performed at early on in our career, that took a chance on our band and believed in us.” Bassist Dave Hale continues “While the title pays tribute to Norse mythology, we wanted the video to be more of a modern-day interpretation of the fun we share with our friends, rather than an exact depiction of a Norse mead hall. Austin our director (who once-again delivered on the vision we presented him) understood our vision, and we are proud of his work and his ability to show the world what we wanted to deliver – a fun, exciting celebration of enjoying life with some of our closest friends.”
Valkyrie’s Fire, a symphonic power metal band from Nashville, will deliver an electrifying debut album, Ascension on November 8, 2024. This release is a dynamic fusion of soaring vocals, fiery guitar riffs, and a commanding bass-driven rhythm section that sets them apart. Known as a symphonic metal powerhouse in the American South, Valkyrie’s Fire truly lives up to the “power” in their genre. With dual vocalists—one male and one female—the band creates a captivating interplay of harmony, unison, and octave-trading solos, weaving together their voices like a seamless, magical force. The guitar work packs a punch, with verses that carry enough gritty, chugging riffs to satisfy even the most hardcore metal fans, while the solos burn with intensity and precision. The bass and drums are just as complex and vibrant, combining deep, heavy tones with intricate, daring rhythms. Ascension is more than just an EP; it’s a bold artistic statement. Though many of the lyrics draw from Norse mythology, a common thread in the genre, Valkyrie’s Fire brings a fresh, modern twist. Tracks touch on themes of pushing past our limits, bearing emotional scars, and confronting the emptiness left by toxic relationships. The album challenges listeners to reflect on the ways we numb ourselves—through vice and self-deception—only to realize we’ve stolen from our own future. Yet, even in the face of these struggles, we are reminded to rise again.
