A HERO FOR THE WORLD has announced the release date of their upcoming holiday rock opera, Winter Is Coming. This marks their third release this year, after releasing their self-titled debut album in April and the extended EP On Fire in October. The new album will be released by Jacob K Music on December 3rd.

This Holiday-themed album almost didn't make it in time for Xmas. The International band, based in Cebu, Philippines, with members Jacob Kaasgaard & David Sivelind (from Sweden) and Louiebeth Aratan (originally from Leyte, Philippines); was first struck with an 7.2 magnitude Earthquake in October, and then in November by Monster-Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). It was called by many the "Storm Of The Century", and by some accounts measured as the strongest storm ever to hit land on Earth. Luckily, all members of the band are now located in safe areas and are pleased to announce this album, trying to spread some holiday spirit!

The album will be available worldwide on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody, Zune, Google Play, Xbox, Rdio, Deezer, Simfy, Muve Music, iHeartRadio, Nokia, MediaNet, Vervelife, Wimp, Sony, Gracenote, Shazam, 7Digital, Juke, eMusic and more.

Winter Is Coming is available for pre-order at this location.
