From the battle-scarred strongholds of Portland, Oregon rises a new force in Epic Heavy Metal: UNCHAINED VENGEANCE.
Forged by the union of powerhouse vocalist Nick Courtney (former member of Vicious Rumors and the acclaimed Iron Maiden tribute band Fear of the Dark) and multi-instrumentalist Nick Wusz (of Dolven and Travellers Rest), UNCHAINED VENGEANCE arrives with their debut full-length assault, Unbound and Unforgiving.
This is a journey into an age long forgotten—an time where honor outweighs gold, where warriors carve their legends in steel, and where the sword triumphs over sorcery. Across ten triumphant tracks, UNCHAINED VENGEANCE unleashes a relentless barrage of thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, galloping rhythms, and heroic melodies destined to echo across the battlefield.
From the bond between warrior and blade in “The Whisper of Sorrowsbane,” to the condemnation of false champions in “False Knight,” and the bittersweet return to a fallen homeland in “Only Ruins Remain,” Unbound and Unforgiving weaves tales of courage, loss, revenge, and redemption. Majestic acoustic passages and contemplative interludes, masterfully performed by dungeon synth maestro Fen Walker, provide moments of reflection before the next charge into glory.
Adorned with breathtaking cover art by Silvana Massa and a battle-ready logo crafted by Brendan Elliot, this debut stands as a banner for all who still believe in the warrior spirit.
Raise your steel. Break your chains. March into the fire.
The age of UNCHAINED VENGEANCE has begun.
Carved in blood…Forged in fire…Unbound and Unforgiving

Nick Courtney – Vocals
Nick Wusz – Guitars, bass, drums
Interlude Tracks 1,4,7, and 10 by Fen Walker
