Wind Rose – Track By Track

Wind Rose has taken their time to share a track-by-track about their brand new album Trollslayer.

Of Ice and Blood

If you already are a Wind Rose fan or at least have listened to the latest albums you already know
this will be an epic orchestral introduction. We like that we are naming all introductions like “OF
something AND something”, it’s like an Easter egg we are giving to our fans in every album. The
melody is dramatic, the perfect opening for an album about a Trollslayer, also it has something that
reminds us of Wintersaga.

Dance of the Axes

An epic, fast paced, glorious opener with dominance of folk elements, it feels like we brought back
some old earthy sounds from the Stonehymn era. You will enjoy the unusual structure of the song
and the monumental choirs in the refrain.

The Great Feast Underground

This is the ultimate party anthem. It stands as the heir to the throne of Drunken Dwarves. The song
invites everyone to raise their glasses, sing along, and embrace the spirit of the party. We are looking
forward to playing this banger live and to see some massive circle pits to it.

Rock and Stone

Our powerful collaboration with Deep Rock Galactic, ‘Rock and Stone’ is a hard-hitting anthem that
channels the energy of the game’s bold and fearless dwarves. As the first single from the album, it
sets the tone with its heavy riffs and anthemic chants. We have already played it live and we can’t
wait to do this again and again.

To Be a Dwarf

An entertaining anthem, ‘To Be a Dwarf’ is the second single of the album. The track dives deep into
the proud, hard-hitting life of the dwarves, filled with adventure, mining and unity. It is a celebration
of the dwarven way, sure to have listeners raising their mugs high and singing along to every word.

Home of the Twilight

A heroic, cheerful song with folk vibes, to dance and have fun to. We would not say it’s the most
interesting song in the album but surely will be very entertaining when played live, it reminds me a
bit of the song “The Art of War” from the album Wintersaga.

Trollslayer

A fast-paced folk anthem with fierce battle vibes, the song charges forward with big energy. It
captures the intensity of combat and the thrill of facing mighty foes. It immerses you in the heat of
battle, with the raw spirit of those who fight fearlessly against the odds.

Legacy of the Forge

Another powerful anthem that echoes through the dwarven halls, a solid addition and a continuation
to the epic tales woven throughout the album. The song allows the listener to dive deeper into the
dwarven world.

No More Sorrow

The long, epic, and emotionally charged final hymn that marks the end of the Trollslayer’s journey.
Somber melodies and dramatic intensity, it brings the saga to an ending with the hero’s inevitable
fate, leaving a lasting impression as the story reaches its end.
