Icelandic band POWER PALADIN return with steel and spectacle as they unleash “Sword Vigor”, the first single and video from their upcoming album Beyond The Reach Of Enchantment, due out March 27, 2026 via ROAR, a division of Reigning Phoenix Music.
“Sword Vigor” is a galloping power metal anthem rooted in classic heavy metal tradition, blending heroic melodies, driving riffs, and an unmistakable NWOBHM spirit. The track continues the band’s fantasy-driven saga and sets the stage for a new chapter of trials, destiny, and triumph. Fans of GLORYHAMMER, TWILIGHT FORCE, and DRAGONFORCE will find plenty to rally behind.
The band comments, “‘Sword Vigor’ is a roaring NWOBHM-inspired power metal anthem, the blazing sequel to the saga begun in Kraven the Hunter. When all hope seems lost for our hero, salvation descends from the heavens: a warrior who has mastered the ancient and furious art of Sword Vigor.”
An official music video accompanies the release, capturing POWER PALADIN’s love for classic heavy metal with a straightforward and playful approach that leans into genre tradition without pretense.

The album was mixed by Haukur Hannes and mastered by Frank de Jong, with artwork by James Child.
