Myself and a good number of posters here have been waiting almost 8 years for this new album.  Now, finally, forged from the distant, biting cold of some Scandinavian country somewhere, the new Thundersword single hath been brought forth to us through the realm of the mighty Soundcloud. 

https://soundcloud.com/thundersword/dawn-of-the-age-of-the Here is the link!

In a brief interview conducted by The Metal Forgery, we were able to catch up with Hugar Hellingstone himself, the vocalist who is said to have fought off a dragon merely with the power of his voice. 

Quote
The Metal Forgery:  So Hugar, tell us about the new record. 

Hugar Hellingstone:  Well, in a word, it's bombastically overpoweringly indulgently delightful!  Fans of "The Odyssey" will find that we have a very, very similar sound.  Mostly, we just chose a band like Symphony X and thought, "hey, this is a band we want to sound like.  Let's sound as much like them as possible!"  And, if nothing else, I think everyone will agree that we accomplished that. 

TMF:  So, you've got a new single coming out, then?

HH:  Yes, and we are quite proud of that one.  You can really relate to the prospect of being on the eve of fighting the biggest and most terrifying dragon of your life!  I think that a lot of people going through hard times will find some emotional comfort in this song, in particular. 

TMF:  Any other words to the loyal fans?

HH:  My dear fans, there is a Thunder Sword in all of you.  Your task is to find it, wield it responsibly, and slay the mighty dragon of life.  Hail to the king, baby!

What the fuck, Joe?


This album took 8 years of dedication from hard working and talented musicians.  You are nothing.

Yeah, that's my favorite part too!



Besides, of course, the high F near the end.  Labrie who?  It's all about Hugar!

That's just Hugar's voice. It takes some getting used to, but he's really great! :metal

dethklok09

I.... I need sleep.


fuck.
Who needs sleep when you can listen to awesome musicians and a mediocre vocalist.

Dimitrius

If you think he's mediocre, you need new ears!

Zook

Two years of KrotchRaut with nothing but hate towards it, and then this horse shit emerges and nothing but praise galore. I know it's some inside joke, but fuck, what am I doing wrong here?

You can all laugh, but you don't know how close we came to being the official Thundersword forums on 4/1.  RB just won out by a nose in the voting.

zxlkho

It would have been great if the release of this single coincided with 4/1. That would have been hilarious :lol

Can't we just move time backwards and have this be the 4/1 theme. It seems pretty simple, right?
