Spanish Power Metal band NORWALD drop releases long awaited “THE ISLAND OF AIRLEVAN”
Spanish Power Metal band NORWALD drop releases long awaited “THE ISLAND OF AIRLEVAN” Single and Video of upcoming EP with SODEH Records.
"The Island of Airlevan" is the first single of Norwald's upcoming EP "The Spark of Freedom". It tells the context of the legendary tale: Rak tournaments will determine who will rule over the island where the contest takes place. The song mixes two very different styles: power metal riffs and melodic vocal lines to create a happy atmosphere and a more extreme (death/black metal) style to show the chaos that contradicts these first parts. The song uses these more extreme styles and harmonic minor scales when it talks about the tyrant, whereas it uses the happier power metal style to talk about the general appearance of the island.
Airlevan is well-known for the happiness that surrounds the place, but it contains a dark side: a secret tyranny is getting set, held by the current and undefeated leader, who will use the powers of darkness of his rak to alienate the minds of the inhabitants of the island.
"This song, as well as the rest of the album, marks a before and after on the band. This EP will open the gates towards a more complex way of storytelling" says Patri Grief, Norwald's axe wielder.
