Finnish fantasy metallers BATTLELORE have completed work on their sixth full-length album, “Doombound”, featuring 11 new songs, one of which is instrumental. As was the case with previous BATTLELORE albums, there will be a jewel-case edition of “Doombound” and a special limited-edition digipack including some rare material.

“Doombound” features 11 new songs, one of which is instrumental. The band’s first conceptual effort features lyrics which “tell the story of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s tragic hero Túrin Turambar and his kin,” according to a press release. “One of the songs is sung completely in Finnish in appreciation to BATTLELORE’s beautiful home country Finland and Kalevala, the national Finnish epic. The songs themselves are more dynamic, atmospheric and epic than ever before — prepare for the ultimate music experience and a life-long journey through the eyes of a fallen hero!”

Audio samples of all the “Doombound” tracks are available at Amazon.de.

Jan. 26 – Spain, Finland, Sweden
Jan. 28 – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, BeNeLux, Italy
Jan. 31 – rest of Europe
