Unleashed: 12th album 'Dawn of the Nine' on its way
Warriors!!! Hear the sound of the battle cry! With their new album 'Dawn of the Nine', legendary Swedish trailblazers Unleashed have forged a modern death metal weapon from the blood and spirit of their viking ancestors.
The artwork their twelfth studio album was created by Pär Olofsson (Immmortal, Demonaz, Exodus etc.) and it will be released April 24, 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
Mastermind Johnny Hedlund adds: "The artwork represents the continuation of our previous album, which ended with 'The Great Battle of Odalheim'. The battle took place at Uppsala fields in Sweden, and you can clearly see the "kings graves" at the cover art work which is present at Uppsala also in the future. You can also see the bombed out church in the far distance. Then off course, you see the place of Blot in the front and the rune stone with the runic symbol of courage of the new dawn."
Track listing:
1. A New Day Will Rise
2. They Came to Die
3. Defenders of Midgard
4. Where Is Your God Now?
5. The Bolt Thrower
6. Let the Hammer Fly
7. Where Churches once Burned
8. Land of the Thousand Lakes
9. Dawn of the Nine
10. Welcome the Son of Thor!
The forthcoming release was recorded by producer and guitar player Fredrik Folkare in his own Chrome Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
With their blend of melody and brutality, Unleashed are credited as the founders of the viking death metal movement from their inception back in 1989. Twenty six years later and their riffs are still pure shrapnel and their choruses just as epic - melting uncompromising brutality with anthemic odes to Odin.
