Here For None, the new album from Finnish metal powerhouse featuring Janne Wirman (Children Of Bodom) is out now worldwide via Reaper Entertainment!

Here For None heralds a new era. True to the motto, “The king is dead, long live the king,” WARMEN is not only headed towards heavier shores musically due to the band’s updated lineup, but it can also be said with justification that WARMEN is taking on the musical legacy of Wirman’s former band in a spectacular way.


“I will always be Janne from Bodom. That’s okay with me. I’m happy about it and I don’t have to hide my past. I also see that as a positive thing for WARMEN,” Wirman notes of his good reputation and the attention he gets within the metal scene. Together with his brother Antti Wirman and longtime friend Jyri Helko, the trio has recuited Seppo Tarvainen on drums as well as Petri Lindroos (Ensiferum) on vocals to make Here For None a true masterpiece of melodic death metal.

The band adds, “We are not only super excited about the release of the new album that we are so proud of but also about the fact that the album release show [took place] at the great Summer Breeze festival!”

Here For None is available on vinyl, digipak CD, and digital formats at THIS LOCATION.

Watch WARMEN’s previously released video for “Hell On Four Wheels,” “Warmen Are Here For None,” the band’s making of “Hell On Four Wheels” clip, and two album trailers at THIS LOCATION.

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news, Power Metal with tags , , , , , , on August 18, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

In support of their hotly-anticipated, fifth studio album “Everfrost”(postponed for a release on September 22, 2023) via AFM Records, pre-order HERE!

“In “Fate of the Atlanteans” we ask humanity, if it does not realize that if we do not change our way of dealing with our planet, we will face the same fate as in Atlantis history and thus the destruction of our world.” The band comments. Watch their new lyric video now streaming HERE:

As the “Winter” stands for nordic viking and folk metal, the “Storm” for fast-paced power metal, combined with epic and orchestral metal facettes, on “Everfrost”, WINTERSTORM shines in a new splendor. It’s the melodic grandeur, that clearly marks the foreground of WINTERSTORM, reflected in heavily catchy choruses and colossal, polyphonic vocals. Striking elements of different metal styles merge with each other and get a completely new impression, that WINTERSTORM’s new album may be their most versatile and powerful album to date; one that does not have to hide behind proved genre colleagues such as Blind Guardian or Rhapsody Of Fire.

“Everfrost” will be coming out as CD Digipak, limited clear blue Vinyl and Boxset on September 22, 2023 via AFM Records, the pre-sale is available at THIS LOCATION!

“Everfrost” – track listing:

  1. Origin
  2. To The End Of All Known
  3. The Phoenix Died (Remember)
  4. Circle Of Greed
  5. Future Times
  6. Everfrost
  7. Final Journey
  8. Fate Of The Atlanteans
  9. Crusade
  10. Overcome The Fear
  11. Silence

METALITE – Premieres Music Video For Powerful, New Album Single “Blazing Skies”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , , , on August 18, 2023 by Metal Odyssey

On January 19, 2024, Swedish melodic power metal act METALITE will release their forthcoming studio album, Expedition One, and sees them unleash their most gigantic record to date!

Following the previously-released, first single, “Disciples Of The Stars” and a haunting, in-depth album trailer, today, METALITE are premiering a music video for the powerful anthem “Blazing Skies“! Join the Expedition One, and watch their official, new music video now premiering HERE:

Expedition One tells a fictitious story about life on our planet in the year 2055. The band’s upcoming magnum opus inspires with a wide range of diverse compositions and an intelligent sci-fi story that couldn’t be more topical. In addition, their fourth album offering manifests the musicians’ amazing artistic development.

METALITE‘s visionary sci-fi trip is told over sixteen multi-faceted songs that combine the quintet’s many strengths: powerful and at the same time delicate guitar riffs and solos, anthemic melodies courtesy of vocalist Erica Ohlsson, driving rhythms and cleverly positioned keyboard parts. Expedition One was produced by guitarist Edwin Premberg, and was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen. The pre-sale of this early 2024 album highlight, one that belongs into every well-sorted power- and melodic metal record colection, is available via AFM Recordsat THIS LOCATION!

“In the past four or five years, our sound has evolved considerably,”Premberg recently said. “The quality of our production in particular has progressed considerably since our debut.”

“We are really excited to release this bombastic song together with this epic video made by Ted Lindén at Bullsize Production.” METALITE comments.“The song is truly a blast in a classic Metalite style and it feels that we have leveled up a few steps since last time. We hope everyone will like it and we looking forward to play it live!”
