Official press release:
Wind Rose is releasing their fourth album “Wintersaga” on September 27th via Napalm Records. It includes 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!
Wind Rose have an extensive touring schedule that will begin late next month in North America with Arkona and Metsatöll. That run will be followed by an October trek with Gloryhammer and Beast In Black. Following a break, the group will once again hit the road with Gloryhammer, this time touring European; Nekrogoblikon will also appear on the run.
