Winterfylleth sign with Napalm Records and announce their new album along with a brand new single, Heroes of a Hundred Fields.
NAPALM RECORDS x WINTERFYLLETH
Napalm Records have today announced the signing of UK black metal heroes, Winterfylleth. To celebrate this, the band unveil their new album, The Unyielding Season. It is due on 27th March and is available to pre-order now, here.
Album nine is a social commentary wrapped in meticulously crafted poetry and prose. Where The Imperious Horizon (2024) described an ominous, malevolent force, lurking in the distance, The Unyielding Season explores said threat becoming a reality.
The raging wildfire to its predecessor’s calculating, icy cold, Winterfylleth’s first offering for their new record label is a reflection and a rebellion against the turmoils tearing individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable weight of fear and pressure being pushed into the world, by the agents of an unresting, and unyielding force for evil.
“‘Heroes of a Hundred Fields’ is framed in a wartime, battlefield setting and uses the premise of soldiers coming together, united as brothers, to fight against a foe who are powerful, oppressive, and domineering. It talks about how people should come together and fight for the freedoms they have and not succumb to those who would attack them and try to weaken them (or take them away entirely). There have been so many ideas and schemes pushed into the world over the last few years that only serve to erode people’s personal freedoms, slowly, little-by-little, until they are gone. This song talks about ‘lighting the beacons of rebellion’ against those who would seek to undermine the way of life and freedom that we all – hopefully – hold dear.”
Winterfylleth on Heroes of a Hundred Fields
HEROES OF A HUNDRED FIELDS
The first glimpse into the infernal release is Heroes of a Hundred Fields. Winterfylleth weave an epic story into a raging battle hymn, describing brave minds joining forces against a common oppressor to fight for their freedom. It describes brave minds joining forces against a common oppressor to fight for their freedom. The song unfolds in marvellous grandeur as chants of “Rebellions beacons now alight”, ring out against a tide of evil.
It kicks off in brilliant ‘heads down’ fashion, wasting no time at all. A smash of the symbol and a furious maelstrom ensues. Whilst there has been a change of personnel on bass, there is still an unabated synergy between the band. Heroes of a Hundred Fields announces The Unyielding Season in vintage Winterfylleth fashion. It also sets the tone thematically in the spectacular music video for the song (below).
