Swedish power metallers SHADOWBORNE have released “Wolf And The Queen,” the fourth single from their upcoming debut album, Heaven’s Falling, due out June 19 through Scarlet Records.
Accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Patric Ullaeus of rEvolver Film Company, “Wolf And The Queen” continues the band’s dark fantasy-inspired storytelling, weaving together themes of forbidden love, loyalty, and destiny.
The song explores the secret bond between two powerful figures from opposing worlds, finding fleeting moments of freedom amid conflict and prophecy. Set against a backdrop of war and political intrigue, the track balances soaring melodies with emotional tension, portraying a relationship where passion and duty are destined to collide.
Heaven’s Falling marks the arrival of a new female-fronted force in the power metal scene, blending cinematic arrangements with heavy riffs and memorable hooks. Produced by Kristoffer Göbel of Six Foot Six and mixed and mastered by Christoffer Borg at Far Beyond Productions, the album draws inspiration from Viking mythology as well as fantasy epics like Game of Thrones and Vikings.
The striking cover artwork was created by Alle Conti, whose previous work includes collaborations with Twilight Force and Trick Or Treat.
