Finnish melodic death/folk metal band Warfarer released the second single “Brotherslayer”, a track taken from their upcoming concept album, “A Tale Beyond the Pale” which is set to be released on November 15th 2024 via Inverse Records.
The band comments the single:
“This track marks a pivotal moment in the album’s narrative, capturing the intense duel between the jealous brotherslayer and his chieftain brother..”
Born from the frost of Northern Finland in 2013, Warfarer weaves chilling tales of small people’s great struggles amidst ancient myths. Their ferocious blend of melodic death metal and symphonic elements bites like the freezing wind and grips you like the flu.
After releasing an EP in 2017 and undergoing a complete reincarnation with new singles in 2018 and 2020, the band is more alive than ever, preparing for war with brutal new songs and sharpened axes. Their upcoming concept album, “A Tale Beyond the Pale”, set for release in 2024, delves into the Finnish myth of the Brotherslayer, taking listeners on a journey through jealousy, scheming, Viking raids, duels under the northern lights, and an eventual descent into guilt and madness.
