Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Vallorch reveal a new chapter of their ancestral storytelling with the official video for “Antermoia”, the third single taken from their latest album “The Circle” (released March 14th) via Rockshots Records.

After the uplifting folk euphoria of “Circle Of The Moon” and the energy of “Drink Some More!”, “Antermoia” unveils the most intimate, melancholic and dramatic side of the band’s sound, positioned at the emotional core of the album’s nocturnal journey.

Rooted in the ancient legend of the Lake of Antermoia, the song recounts the doomed love between Oswald and the mountain spirit Antermoia. Born under a curse that shatters any instrument he touches, Oswald is destined to suffer through music rather than be uplifted by it. When he falls in love with the voice of the Alpine nymph, he unknowingly seals their fate: one night, he speaks her true name aloud, breaking the laws of nature. In that moment, Antermoia dissolves into the waters of the lake that bears her name, leaving only her harp floating on its surface. As Oswald lifts it, miraculously intact, he realises the curse is broken but at the price of losing her forever. From then on, he wanders the world playing their story in an endless attempt to ease a grief that cannot be healed.

Musically, “Antermoia” stands as the symbolic ballad of “The Circle” – a delicate yet powerful fusion of folk and symphonic metal built on a steady emotional crescendo. The track opens with the warm tone of Glorya Lyr’s Celtic harp and Sara Tacchetto’s ethereal vocals, gradually expanding into rich layers of harmonies from Leonardo Dalla Via and Marco Povolo, the expressive violin of Serena Zucco (Adgarios) and the tight rhythmic foundation. Waves of electric guitars and symphonic arrangements rise and fall throughout the song, amplifying its themes of loss, devotion and the wild, unforgiving beauty of the Dolomites.

Within the broader narrative of “The Circle“, “Antermoia” plays a pivotal role – both musically and conceptually. It is one of the three tracks that represent the linguistic and cultural roots of Vallorch (Italian, Cimbrian and Venetian) and it captures the most contemplative and sorrowful facet of the album’s overarching theme: the Night. If “To The Silver Summit” embodies the climb toward the light and “Circle Of The Moon” celebrates life and togetherness, “Antermoia” is the moment of stillness and reflection – where music becomes the only bridge between the world of the living and the world of spirits.

The music video further enhances the band’s connection with the myths, landscapes and timeless atmosphere of the Dolomites. Visual storytelling intertwines with Vallorch’s unique blend of folk metal, symphonic depth and melodic power, highlighting the duality at the heart of their craft: the intimacy of ancient tales and the grandeur of their modern, dynamic sound.
​
For fans of Eluveitie, Alestorm, Epica and Wind Rose, “Antermoia” shows Vallorch at their most expressive, weaving emotion, folklore and cinematic power into a single, unforgettable piece.

Produced at Hypnoise Recording Studio by Filippo Galvanelli and mastered by Lasse Lammert (Wind Rose, Gloryhammer, Alestorm), “The Circle” marks a new artistic chapter for Vallorch. After years of evolution and renewed line-up cohesion, the band emerges stronger than ever – ready to bring their modern folk metal vision, rooted in Cimbrian heritage and Alpine traditions to stages across Italy and beyond.
