Eclipse Records is elated to announce the signing of Valkyrie’s Fire to an exclusive worldwide deal. Based in Nashville, Tennessee (USA), the symphonic power metal band is born of true emotional passion that ignites our hearts and unlocks the deepest mysteries of the soul.
The band are anxiously preparing to release their debut EP “Ascension” on November 8th, 2024, via Eclipse Records.
The album was recorded and mixed by Joey Grimaldi, and mastered by Jack Kosto (Firewind, Seven Spires).
“I first heard about Eclipse Records through our bassist Dave”, says vocalist Bettie Floyd, “It’s funny, because I didn’t realize they had been the record company for Mushroomhead, which was one of my favorite bands way back in the day! I am so excited for the next steps in our adventure with Eclipse Records and I have been so humbled by their response to our music so far – saying that our music sounds like a cross between Nightwish and Iron Maiden. Those are two very big names to live up to, so I will take that as a huge compliment”!
Vocalist Adam Sanders adds: “I am beyond excited for Valkyrie’s Fire to be in a partnership with Eclipse Records. We’ve been working hard to prepare our first EP, and it’s amazing to have the label believe in us enough to help us promote and release it in an official capacity. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for us”!
The band’s debut studio EP “Ascension”, is a magnificent and unique blend of soaring vocals, blazing guitar licks, and a signature low-end bass attack in the rhythm section, and it is scheduled for release on November 8th, 2024.
This band has been hailed as the symphonic metal powerhouse of the American south, and the key word here is “power”! First, the band offers us a dual power vocalist approach, male and female, often in harmony, other times in unison, switching solos and trading octaves so effortlessly that they seem to be a unified, magical being. As for the power-guitar, the verse-tracks have enough chock-n-gravel “chunk” to satisfy the heaviest of head bangers, and the lead solos are simply red hot and blistering. Last but certainly not least, the power-bass and power-drums are just as complex and upbeat as they are lush and heavy and deep, dark and daring.
