Swedish death metal titans Unleashed mark their standing as one of the big four of the genre and strike back with full force, delivering a relentless war cry with their highly anticipated 15th studio album, Fire Upon Your Lands. For over 35 years, Unleashed has stood as a pillar in the scene – now, they unleash a storm of fury and god-like riffs. Continuing the story of No Sign Of Life (2021), the band unveils 11 neck-breaking tracks, telling stories of the World Of Odalheim. From the very first crushing riffs in Left For Dead, as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, Fire Upon Your Lands plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught on A Toast To The Fallen while Unleashed create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. Tracks like War Comes Again fuses furious blast beats and searing explosive riffs that showcase Unleasheds signature battle-forged death metal. Meanwhile, To My Only Son slows only to strike deeper, its haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. In the eclipse they summon the Midgard Warriors with Hold Your Hammers High, an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band’s mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns. With production that captures both raw energy and cinematic depth, the album proves again that Unleashed reign among the masters of death metal. Prepare for war—raise your hammers and let the battle begin!
