Pre-orders Available at the Rockshots Store
Bass player Sami Hinkka, also of the band Ensiferum,comments, “‘The Conqueror’ is the opening track of the album and it tells about the founding myth of Rome. But instead of once again just telling the legend of the brothers Romulus and Remus, we played around with the idea of what Romulus thought after he killed his brother. And even though he saw the glory of Rome, could it have been even greater if they both would’ve still been there to rule together? Musically the song is exactly what we had in our minds when MDF was founded: ass-kicking power/heavy metal with fast pace, powerful vocals, catchy chorus, mind-blowing solos.”
Pre-orders are now open at the record label’s official store, Spotify and iTunes. Watch the video for “The Conqueror” here: https://youtu.be/zIgB8PiEbfk.
The idea was that every album would have a theme based on a certain country’s/culture’s history and mythology. The debut album will deal with the Roman Empire and the many tales, true stories and philosophies associated with it. Each song is about a different aspect of this grand topic, and while being enjoyable as escapist storytelling in itself, also delves into the mindset of the different characters and people from whose perspectives the songs are written.
