General Information
Personnel:
Eira Shadowborne – vocals
The Warden – guitar, keyboards, backup vocals
The Oathbearer – lead guitar
The Keeper – bass
The Warbringer – drumsProducer: Kristoffer Göbel
Release Date: June 19, 2026
Label: Scarlet RecordsSetting the Scene
Hailing from Sweden, Shadowborne marks their arrival with the release of their debut album, Heaven’s Falling. The record serves as a heavy, cinematic introduction to their brand of power metal.
First Impression
From the very first track, Heaven’s Falling immediately pulls you into a heavy, dark fantasy epic. The record commands authority right out of the gate, establishing an atmosphere that is highly cinematic and incredibly engaging. It constantly shifts its momentum, effortlessly dragging you from anthemic, battle-ready choruses to intimate, folk-tinged melodies without ever losing its grip. Ultimately, the album delivers a deeply satisfying and cohesive musical journey that holds your attention from the opening chants to the final emotional notes.

If you’re into any of these artists, this album should be on your radar.
Battle BeastScarlet AuraBrothers Of MetalVisual Vibes
Track on Repeat
A masterfully crafted highlight, blending intimate, chant-worthy melodies with a spectacular guitar solo and spectacular vocals.
In-depth Notes
Musical Shape 🎸
Instrumentally, Heaven’s Falling thrives on dynamic arrangements and exceptional guitar work. The album establishes its cinematic scope early with the wonderful orchestrations on “Winter Is Coming (Heims Adventit),” but it is the lead guitar work that repeatedly steals the show. Standout solos elevate tracks like “High And Low” and “Wolf And The Queen,” leading to a final display of guitar brilliance on “End Of The World.” Furthermore, the band avoids power metal monotony through clever instrument distribution and rhythmic shifts—whether driving the faster pace of “Custodians” or completely changing up the album’s established structure on “Stranger To Myself” to keep the listener engaged.
Vocal Performance 🎤
Eira Shadowborne delivers a highly versatile and commanding vocal performance that perfectly anchors the album. The delivery effortlessly shifts to match the record’s dynamic momentum through well-executed key changes, reaching impressive higher notes on “Wolf And The Queen” and pivoting to a grittier, Iron Maiden-esque edge on “Custodians.” Finally, the performance reaches a powerful emotional peak, closing out the story with soaring high vocals on the ballad-like finale, “End Of The World.”
Production Quality 🎧
The production on Heaven’s Falling expertly manages the album’s dynamic shifts. By balancing the varied instrument distribution and capturing the deliberate pauses and tempo changes, the production ensures the music remains engaging and non-monotonous throughout the entire journey.
Themes and Concepts 💭
Shadowborne executes their dark fantasy concept brilliantly by ensuring the music directly serves the narrative. Themes of sacrifice and survival are woven deeply into the arrangements, notably with the track “Hold The Door,” which contains a nod to Hodor, everyone’s favourite character on Game of Thrones. Ultimately, the cinematic lore feels emotionally genuine because it is driven by the dynamic musical atmosphere rather than standard songwriting clichés.
Final Verdict
A massive, cinematic power metal triumph that flawlessly forges heavy riffs and dark fantasy into an unforgettable debut.

ARTHUR BROWN unveils music video of title track & details of forthcoming new album "Nature"
ARTHUR BROWN unveils music video of title track & details of forthcoming new album “Nature”Iconic British blues rocker ARTHUR BROWN has revealed the title track of his forthcoming new full-length “Nature”, which has been created in collaboration with DAN SMITH. ‘Nature’ is presented in the shape of a beautiful music video that has been pro-shot live at his flamboyant shows during ARTHUR BROWN’s recent touring across Europe.ARTHUR BROWN comments on ‘Nature’: “This is a time of confusion and choice”, the legendary rock musician muses. “Deep inside us is a consciousness, which is the basis of everything. Can we find a way to know ourselves as being it? At the moment all our social structures, our laws, education system, everything in our culture are no longer using the parts of our brain that can care for the world in its totality. From this comes our discomfort in our living. All our problems arise from this dualistic world image. We need to find a way to stand before this ‘consciousness’ and drop all our current ‘answers’.”Watch the video for ’Nature’ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=732CYG7JsBUAs ARTHUR BROWN continues to perform – “Nature” stands as a profound and poetic culmination of his artistic journey. After six decades on all the stages of the world, boundary‑breaking performances, pioneering and innovating rock music, fate and life have brought the iconic singer back to where he came from – both as a creative artist and in his personal geography.For more than sixty years, ARTHUR BROWN has stood as one of the most singular figures in rock music. The singer and performer is universally recognised as a true visionary whose work has always moved beyond conventional songcraft and crossed over into theatre, ritual, and sonic experimentation. At the culmination of his extraordinary decade-spanning career, ARTHUR BROWN announces the release of what he describes as his pinnacle album: “Nature”.In recent years, ARTHUR BROWN has been contemplating how he would like to see the final chapter of his musical journey to unfold. After decades of global travel and artistic exploration, the question became not how to continue – but how to remain true and authentic to himself. Originally planning to settle in the United States, the Norns weaving fate pulled some strings. Brown and his partner as well as creative director, Claire Waller, found themselves unexpectedly in North Yorkshire, in the north of England.What at first looked like only a temporary change of plan soon revealed itself as something far more profound. Settling down among the vast landscapes of the North York Moors, ARTHUR BROWN discovered that he had followed something powerful, the call of his blood. The iconic rock pioneer found himself living in his ancestral home, only miles from the final resting place of his great‑grandfather, grandfather, and father on one side. While on the other side loomed that ancient fishing town at the heart of many a dark folk tale, Whitby – the place of his birth. These discoveries made his return feel almost magical in its poetic symmetry.“Nature” is a reflection on a life that has and is dedicated to the search of meaning through creativity, spirituality, and artistic exploration. Throughout ARTHUR BROWN’s life, one idea has returned time and again: the cosmic unity of existence. “Nature” places that philosophy at its centre. “Nature” is not intended as some kind of closing statement but rather the distillation of a lifetime spent exploring the mysteries of being. It is the sound of a wandering minstrel pausing, at last, to listen to the wind in the trees. And quite literally so…Nature’s call changed the way that ARTHUR BROWN was used to working on new music. Rather than constructing the album purely within the walls of a studio, he began recording the natural sounds that surround his home. The bubbling brook. The flow of the nearby river. Wind moving through trees. Wind chimes hanging in the air. Footsteps across soil and woodland paths. The crackle of fire in the hearth. All these sounds and more became part of “Nature”‘s sonic palette.ARTHUR BROWN went on to find the perfect collaborators for his musical endeavour. Working with his friend and producer Isaac McInnis of Crooked Room Studio, the veteran musician developed the conceptual framework of the record – blending environmental recordings with improvisational composition. When he was satisfied, ARTHUR BROWN took the next step and called upon another friend, the composer, multi-instrumentalist, and collaborator Dan Smith, who is also a member of the current CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN live line-up, to help shape the music.Together with McInnis and Claire Waller, the creative process unfolded organically step by step. ARTHUR BROWN brought with him a lifetime of lyrical writing, poetic prowess, and philosophical reflection. The songs evolved through a series of improvised recording sessions, which were guided by instinct rather than rigid structure.Following these sessions, Dan Smith continued to expand and develop the musical landscape. He worked alongside McInnis, Waller, and Brown to shape what would ultimately become “Nature”. More than just another album, this record offers an interwoven tapestry of natural sounds, improvised exploration of instruments, traditional composition, and joyful collaboration.It is time to let “Nature” take its course…“Nature” is released on 4th September via Prophecy Productions.Recording & mix by Isaac McInnis at Crooked Room Studio, York (UK)Mastering by Kevin Tuffy at Tuff Mastering, Berlin (DE)ShopAvailable formats“Nature” will be available as a ltd. hardcover 48-page 2CD artbook with essays by Arthur Brown & bonus CD incl. two excl. studio tracks, ltd.
