Swedish power‑metal warriors Bloodbound have been storming the front lines since 2004, combining classic heavy‑metal roots with soaring melodies and battle‑cry choruses. Their latest concept album *Field Of Swords* (out 21 November 2025 via Napalm Records) marks a shift from Viking saga into the brutal Middle Ages. The lead single “Defenders of Jerusalem” sets the tone with crusader imagery and righteous riffs. Fun fact: though they sometimes perform in corpse‑paint, Bloodbound insist they’re not black metal—they just know how to look epic in the snow. On the alpine stage of Mayrhofen they’ll bring frost, fire and steel‑clad anthems.
