Dwarven power metal warriors, Wind Rose, celebrate their fast-approaching album release and tour kickoff with mugs full of beer, delivering the epic party anthem, "The Great Feast Underground". Their new album, Trollslayer, will be released on October 4, the day they begin their biggest tour to date with label colleagues and genre giants Powerwolf, as well as HammerFall.

After releasing the catchy Deep Rock Galactic hymn “Rock And Stone” and the sing-a-long anthem “To Be A Dwarf”, Wind Rose celebrate the dwarven party of the year, which can be experienced in yet another outstanding official music video. Dive deep into the world under the mountains with “The Great Feast Underground”.

Wind Rose on “The Great Feast Underground”: “Our 2019 party anthem “Drunken Dwarves” needed a heir to the throne, and that's how “The Great Feast Underground” was born. Prepare to raise your mugs, sing along with us and embrace the spirit of the party! We are looking forward to playing this banger live and to see some massive circle pits to it.”

Trollslayer follows the success of Warfront (2022), which debuted in the Top 10 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart. Arriving right before their biggest European tour ever alongside Powerwolf and HammerFall, this album promises to be the perfect blend of signature party anthems alongside select deeper, more serious tracks. Exploding onto the scene with viral appearances on TikTok and amassing almost half a million followers on the platform, as well as almost a million monthly listeners, Wind Rose have solidified their reputation as a powerhouse in the modern power metal scene.

Wind Rose on the new album Trollslayer: “We spent more than 2 years working on Trollslayer, a new Dwarf Metal opera that will entertain you with fast riffs, beer and fun. With Trollslayer we didn’t only keep all the key elements of Dwarf metal, we also brought back the fast paced rhythms typical of our previous albums. Both Wintersaga and Warfront have had a great impact on our fans, even if they have many differences in style. With Trollslayer we unified all the best features of both albums and we are delivering what we believe is the best Dwarf Metal experience so far. We can’t wait to play some of these new songs live for you, are you ready?!”

Trollslayer starts-off with the epic instrumental “Of Ice and Blood”, setting the stage for the fiery energy to come. Next up is the electrifying “Dance of the Axes”, a potent mix of catchy refrains and guttural growls. It is directly followed by two party anthems, “The Great Feast Underground” – which overtakes the listener with crazy dwarven drinking rhythms – as well as throwing the gauntlet with the anthem “Rock and Stone”, a party track inspired by space dwarf first-person shooter video game Deep Rock Galactic. The album continues with three deep and catchy anthems – the fast “Home of the Twilight”, the upbeat “To Be a Dwarf”, and the Warhammer-inspired title track “Trollslayer”. The album concludes with the gripping “No More Sorrow”, showcasing Wind Rose's ability to weave moments of emotional depth into their music. This track proves that even the mightiest dwarven warriors carry the weight of loss and hardship!

Trollslayer brings the listener into an unforgettable journey through the caves of metal, capturing the epic, medieval spirit of the dwarves!
