With the singles “Diggy Diggy Hole”, “Drunken Dwarves” and “Wintersaga” already proven as certified favorites in the metal community, WIND ROSE have finally release their fourth studio album Wintersaga via Napalm Records. The dwarves take the listener on a highly entertaining and unforgettable 50 minutes lasting ride over mountains, snow and ice!

Accompanying the album release, WIND ROSE have released a new lyric video for the title track “Wintersaga”. The mix of epic power metal, heroic riffs and orchestra influences give this song a special wintry atmosphere.

WIND ROSE on “Wintersaga”:
“We dug holes, we drank mead, we danced together and we got drunk… Now let’s get to serious business! Let us present you the title track Wintersaga, which is surely one of the highlights of this album: the structure is a little bit more complex than the first two singles, but the epic vocals and orchestra still keep it easily approachable for all kinds of ears.
We also wanted to give this song a special look, so we decided to create a lyric video to represent its meaning: the arrival of Durin’s Day, that closes the Fall and opens the gates of Winter.”

Forged in fire!
The dwarven army returns from the misty mountains
with new epic songs and fantasy-filled stories.

WIND ROSE are set to release their fourth album Wintersaga on September 27th via Napalm Records, including the viral smash single “Diggy Diggy Hole”. After their breakthrough album Stonehymn, appearances at major festivals as Bloodstock Open Air and successful tours with bands like Finntroll, Wintersun, Ensiferum and Eluveitie, WIND ROSE are now ready to continue their journey through mountains, ice and snow! The Dwarven army is now stronger than ever and so will be the next album. The Dwarf and his army are coming and with them a new wave of folk power metal!

WIND ROSE on Wintersaga:
“Dwarves from all around the world, this September we will gather our axes and hammers once again to retake what belongs to us. Hear the call of the last moon of autumn, feel the approaching shiver of Durin’s Day, we will rewrite the books with a new story that begins with the WINTERSAGA.”

The album is available for Pre-Order HERE!

„We don`t write songs, we smith them against the anvil.“ And that`s power metallers WIND ROSE in a nutshell! The five-piece that started out in Pisa, Italy in 2009 is no secret to genre connoisseurs thanks to three well-received albums and tours with Wintersun, Ensiferum and many more. But now their big moment in the spotlight has come – Wind Rose are ready for the final breakthrough with WINTERSAGA! They have perfected their mixture of heroic steel and folky, mead-drenched anthems in the meantime: party tunes don`t get better than “Drunken dwarves”. Seriously. Counterbalance arrives in shape of epic power metal anthems like “The Art Of War” or “We Were Warriors”, carefully treading the fine line between neck-breaking riffing and dramatic orchestration. A highly entertaining and unforgettable ride over mountains, snow and ice!
