UNLEASHED - 'Rise Of The Maya Warriors' Lyric Video Posted
March 15, 2012, 12 years ago
Legendary Swedish viking/death masters UNLEASHED have released a lyric video for the track 'Rise Of The Maya Warriors', off their upcoming album, Odalheim.
Bassist/vocalist Johnny Hedlund had this to say about the song: "After years of struggle and toil against the armies of White Christ, the Midgard Warriors went across the open sea to gather the battalions there, and to build an army big enough to fight in the final stand. At the end of the (Vinland) North American journey, the Midgard Warriors and their growing armies traveled through the Sierra Madre and into Central America to meet with the Toltecs, Olmecs, Aztecs and others. It seemed they had all joined forces to build a rebellion against White Christ. They were now known as the Maya Warriors. We joined for Blot and Celebrations to our common task and for life long freindship. We had now grown to be a very respectful army of warriors that set off to the European continent again..."
Check out the lyric video below:
Unleashed recently announced the tracklist and the artwork of the upcoming album Odalheim.
With the follow-up to As Yggdrasil Trembles, Unleashed continue telling their post-doomsday story, of course embedded into the Norse mythology. After the mighty world tree Yggdrasil had trembled and rung in the end of the world, Fimbul winter followed: Three years of darkness and coldness, during which Mother Nature took back what was rightfully hers. This caused the end of life as we know it. Ragnarök. But the warriors who’ve survived will build a new world out of the old one’s ashes. Right here, the story of Odalheim begins.
With Odalheim, the Swedes release their eleventh studio album. Once more, the mighty line up consisting of Johnny (bass and vocals), Fredrik (lead guitar), Tomas (rhythm guitar) and Anders (drums) has created a multifarious and hymnal album in typical Unleashed manner.
Johnny commented the artwork above: “The artwork is made by Sebastian Ramstedt, just like our previous three albums. It shows the new world Odalheim, at the break of dawn at Birka shores, and just before the attack of White Christ. The concept of the album is taken from the book by the same name.
A book I haven't yet had the time to complete.”
Odalheim was produced by Fredrik Folkare and recorded in the Swedish Chrome Studios.
