Comments the band:
“We are absolutely thrilled to be joining the ROAR family. We’re just six mates from Australia who love playing music together, and when we started this band we had no idea how far this music could take us. To be able to release our new album on an international label, and with this incredible team’s support, is a childhood dream come true. We’re deeply honoured to be representing the Australian heavy music community on an international level, and we can’t for this next epic chapter to unfold with ROAR!”
Starting January 17th, the band will support the Swedish heavy metal templars of HammerFall as a special guest on tour.

Established in 2013 by guitarist Anthony Willis and vocalist Lachlan Neate, Valhalore swiftly became an unstoppable force in the Australian metal scene. Since their inaugural live performance in late 2015, the band’s unique blend of Melodic Death, Power, and Symphonic Metal, infused with folk influences, has resonated with audiences both domestically and abroad.
The year 2017 marked a pivotal moment for Valhalore with the release of their debut album “Voyage Into Eternity”. The band celebrated this opus with a sold-out launch show in Brisbane and two successful national tours, “Voyage Across Australia” and “Viktoberfest”. Breaking international ground in 2018, Valhalore toured Japan alongside world-renowned acts Ensiferum, Trollfest, and Wind Rose. Upon their return, the band showcased their versatility with the release of the acoustic
EP “Solace & Solitude”, and their 2019 single “Legacy”. Between releases, Valhalore continued to conquer Australian stages, touring with Kamelot and Trollfest in 2018, and Kalmah in 2019. Two European tours, including an eagerly-anticipated appearance at “Wacken Open Air” 2020, were regrettably cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, undeterred by the global turmoil and prevailing uncertainties, Valhalore spent the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021 recording their second studio album. In November 2022 Valhalore took their live show to new heights, performing sold-out shows across Australia with UK’s Alestorm and with Arch Enemy later in February 2023. In February 2024, the band hit the road with Germany’s Blind Guardian and will support HammerFall in early 2025 in Australia, while making final preparations for their long-awaited sophomore album “Beyond The Stars” to be released in April 2025, by their new label partner ROAR.
With each performance and release, Valhalore continues to carve a unique path through the metal landscape, leaving an indelible mark on fans worldwide. The saga unfolds, and Valhalore’s journey is poised to reach even greater heights in the years to come…
