Australia’s symphonic folk metal trailblazers Valhalore have dropped their electrifying sophomore album, Beyond The Stars, today on ROAR, alongside a vinyl and CD digipak reissue of their 2017 debut, Voyage Into Eternity. This 12-track epic, featuring cuts like “The Storm” and “Heart Of The Sea” with Anna Murphy (ex-Eluveitie), melds melodic death, power, and symphonic metal with vibrant folk flair. Stream or grab it now at valhalore.rpm.link/beyond and valhalore.rpm.link/voyage.
Critics are raving: Stormbringer calls it “bursting with energy,” Metal Roos hails it as “a modern folk metal masterpiece,” Heavy Mag praises its uniqueness, and Metal On Tap dubs it “a contender for Album of the Year.” Since 2015, founders Anthony Willis (guitar) and Lachlan Neate (vocals) have built a global following, undeterred by pandemic setbacks, with tours alongside Alestorm, Arch Enemy, and Blind Guardian. Next up: a headlining Australian run starting May 16 in Sydney—tickets at valhalore.com. Valhalore’s saga soars higher!
