Valkyrie’s Fire are a symphonic power metal band from Nashville, Tennessee, born of true emotional passion that ignites our hearts and unlocks the deepest mysteries of the soul. The band just premiered another new music video entitled “Ride of the Valkyrie” which is the third music video from their new EP album Ascension which was just 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 “Ride of the Valkyrie” was directed by Austin Dellamano at Weems Creative.

“Ride of the Valkyrie is a song we wrote which tells the tale of beautiful Valkyries as they ride to the war-torn battlefield to carry the souls of the fallen Viking warriors to Valhalla”, says bassist Dave Hale. “The album, and specifically this song, is steeped in Norse mythology, and as such, the lyrics also hint at that, while keeping their relevance to the fans and musicians. Each of us fights a battle in the field of music, and each of us must remain strong and give our all for those things we fight so valiantly for.” Guitarist Joey Grimaldi adds, “Ride of the Valkyrie is the first track from the album ASCENSION by Valkyrie’s Fire, and it is a crowd favorite at all of our shows, delivering a solid, fast, and upbeat song which gets the audience banging their head and pumping their fists immediately when this first song is played. This music video was chosen to be our spotlight video to correspond with the release of our album ASCENSION, and as such, we wanted this music video to be EPIC in every way!! We feel like we delivered on that goal in this music video, and we incorporated live horses, emotional battle scenes, with fire, lightning, and lots of blood in this LARP (Live Action Role Play) rendition of an epic Viking battle.”

Valkyrie’s Fire are a symphonic power metal band from Nashville Tennessee, and their debut album titled Ascension, is a magnificent and unique blend of blazing guitar licks, soaring vocals, and a signature low-end bass attack in the rhythm section. This band has been hailed as the symphonic metal powerhouse of the American south, and the key word here is “power!” First, the band offers us a dual power vocalist approach, male and female, often in harmony, other times in unison, switching solos and trading octaves so effortlessly that they seem to be a unified, magical being. As for the power-guitar, the verse-tracks have enough chock-n-gravel “chunk” to satisfy the heaviest of head bangers, and the lead solos are simply red hot and blistering. Last but certainly not least, the power-bass and power-drums are just as complex and upbeat as they are lush and heavy and deep, dark and daring. Ascension is not just an EP, but more a bold statement. While many of the lyrics are drawn from Norse Mythology, which is a common trait for the genre, one cannot help but admire the record’s modern relevance, the lyrics that have us “outpacing the light” and suffering the scars cut so deep they lead to confession. Our hearts break when the band takes on the idea of emptiness, reminding us of toxic relationships and those who struggle just to live through the day. We drink and smoke and lie and rationalize, fooling ourselves into thinking there will be little cost, when it is our own “tomorrows” we have stolen from ourselves, and finally, when we fall, we must “rise up once again.” Ascension was released on November 8, 2024 by Eclipse Records.

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.
