With the release of their triumphant new album, Field Of Swords, closing in, BLOODBOUND has released its opening title track as their powerful third single. “Field Of Swords” immediately storms into BLOODBOUND’s signature sound, braiding stories of glory with a sweeping blend of melodic and heavy power metal—a perfect introduction to the band’s venture into the Middle Ages. The Swedish six-piece hold their own on the forefront of epic modern power metal, standing amidst flames burning tall with this new glorious single.
Recently teaming up with Napalm Records, BLOODBOUND stand taller than ever on epic power metal’s front lines, delivering their most refined work yet. Moving on from the Viking era, the inspiration for their previous record, Tales Of The North, Field Of Swords turns the page to another chapter in history, moving past the year 1066 and into the Middle Ages. As warfare evolves and the technological advancement of forging iron with carbon leads to superior swordsmen, the bloodstained battlefields show new, grim faces, which BLOODBOUND bring to life with their vivid storytelling, notorious for thrilling live audiences globally. The album will be out this Friday, November 21, 2025 via Napalm Records.
Fredrik Bergh about “Field Of Swords” “The opening track and also the title track of the album. A great, fast, energetic song with killer melodies. A perfect way to start the BLOODBOUND studio album #11!”
Tomas Olsson about “Field Of Swords”: “‘Field of Swords’ is about the evolution in warfare and the significance of forging iron with carbon that led to superior swordsmen.”
BLOODBOUND’s latest triumphant march impressively illustrates the importance of purpose and perseverance with heroic tales in shining heavy metal armor. Valiant, vigorous, and ultimately victorious: Field Of Swords has come to expand BLOODBOUND’s domination of the scene!
Fredrik Bergh on Field Of Swords “Field Of Swords is a concept album, a continuation from our last album Tales From The North (2023) which touched upon the subject of the Viking era. On Field Of Swords, we have moved on in history and entered the Middle Ages (after 1066). The concept, in short, is the following: When the Viking Age ended in the year of our Lord 1066, came the long and grim Medieval times.
We are extremely excited about the new album and to release it with the backing of the mighty Napalm Records. Music-wise, the new album has a slightly more modern sound, but we can guarantee it includes all the elements BLOODBOUND is known for! It’s a diverse record with aggressive songs, epic tracks, and it also contains some of the fastest parts we have written. And on the other hand, we have some slower, majestic songs as well, like, ‘The Nine Crusades’ where UNLEASH THE ARCHERS’ Brittney Slayes duets with Patrik. Field Of Swords has everything you can ask for!”
