Symphonic metal vikings Leaves' Eyes have revealed new details about their much-awaited new album Myths Of Fate - slated for a release on 22 March via AFM Records. Perfect in time to celebrate its new album live, Leaves' Eyes has also announced an extensive touring schedule kicking off in March; find all live dates listed below.
Four years after bringing The Last Viking to Valhalla with its previous opus, Leaves' Eyes resurrects with Myths Of Fate to celebrate the band's 20-year existence. With its ninth studio album, the Germany-based act consolidates its leading position in the symphonic metal universe. Powerful, epic and impressive - Leaves' Eyes once again merges traditional metal genres by fusing elements of folk, gothic, and classical music into a captivating sonic masterpiece.
With Myths Of Fate, the band once again sets sails for new winds that definitely blow from the harsh shallows of the symphonic metal genre. The fantastic world of legends from Norse and Eastern European mythology is the setting for monumental entertainment. "The early Middle Ages were a fascinating time of change. Some of these innovations have left their mark around the globe and continue to impact our modern world", tells band mastermind and singer Alex Krull.
Leaves' Eyes opens a world of magical places, spellbound weapons or supernatural creatures. With the first, previously-released single and album opening track, "Forged By Fire", it raised the magic sword of Tyrfing. In a bombastic double bass blaze, they tell from a deadly weapon crafted and cursed by dwarves to bring misery over its bearers. "These legends always reflected the real-life horrors of those who told them, making them even relatable to modern events of wars and fights", Alex says. Now Leaves' Eyes has unleashed the second single and video, the mediaeval hymn, "Realm Of Dark Waves", that pulls us into the ocean's desolate depths of Rán, the Goddess of the Sea. This neck-breaker about the sea maiden wife of Ægir is lyrically linked to other Leaves' Eyes hit classics about maritime gods, like "Njord" or "Nine Wave Maidens", rounding off the artist's entire oeuvre!
In support of its forthcoming opus, the band produced five music videos with Mastersound Entertainment. Filmed in impressive locations in Iceland, Germany and Poland, they bring the myths captivatingly to the screen. Magic creatures, great battles and enchanting warrior queens come to life!
