SHIELD OF WINGS - Release Captivating Video For The First Single From Upcoming Debut Album

Chicago (USA) based female-fronted symphonic metal revivalists Shield Of Wings have released the single and video "Wetland", as the first offering from the upcoming debut album, Unfinished, set to be released on the 11th of February 2022. Sure to appeal to fans of symphonic metal giants Nightwish and Epica, as well as film score composers like Hans Zimmer, James Horner and Howard Shore, their new album, Unfinished, will bring into view ten bombastic compositions of poetic exploration.

Vocalist Lara Mordian, also known from her solo project Mordian, comments on the "Wetland" filming process: "Shooting "Wetland", and wading through that cold, wet, filth, was a challenging albeit invigorating time for me. Prior to filming in late autumn, I was warned of the certain discomfort to come, but I was reassured by James that "pain is temporary, the film is forever", and I embraced it."

Each song from Unfinished explores themes of growth through self-examination, regret, sacrificial death and rebirth. From the "Crushing Hail" of the suffering which is inherent in life, the listener is carried through this journey, until the final track expounds upon the realization that we are all, in ways, "The Scarred Clay Reshaping". With bold, vast orchestral compositions soaring over chugging guitars, Shield Of Wings makes it abundantly clear that they are Unfinished, in more ways than one.
