The wait is over! Quebec symphonic melodic death masters Trollwar are proud to present the full stream premiere of their highly anticipated EP “Tales from the Frozen Wastes”, before its official release on November 15, 2024.
Check out the EP stream premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.
“Tales from the Frozen Wastes” marks a significant evolution in Trollwar's sound, showcasing a perfect blend of their brutal roots with refined symphonic orchestrations and progressive elements. The EP takes listeners on a journey through a dark dimension, exploring themes of fallen deities, the realm of the dead, and the consequences of mortal ambition. The band comments on the changes that can be found on the record:
“I think our EP could be described as a renewal. A renewal of our music and a new maturity for our music. I do think that you can hear it through our songs in this release. The ‘Unseen One’ and ‘In the Fields of Frost’ are both great songs that we wrote a couple of years ago, while ‘Bane of the Underworld’ and ‘The Offering’ are pretty much the new Trollwar that you should expect going forward. These two songs show a clear upgrade of how we write our music.”
This release represents the culmination of years of hard work and musical growth Trollwar has dedicated to their sound. They've pushed themselves to create something that's not just heavy and melodic, but also tells a compelling story through both music and lyrics.
To celebrate the premiere, Trollwar will be hosting a live Q&A session on their official YouTube channel on the release date (Nov 15th). The band will discuss the creation of the EP, share behind-the-scenes stories, and answer fan questions. They are recommended listening for fans of Equilibrium, Wintersun, and Ensiferum.
Due out on November 15th, “Tales from the Frozen Wastes” is available for digital pre-save - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/trollwar/tales-from-the-frozen-wastes
