Having ridden into their latest battle with their eleventh epic full-length Field Of Swords, Swedish power metal warriors Bloodbound have released another video single from the album. “The Nine Crusades” is another historically-themed anthem, retelling the titular events in typical Bloodbound style: A sweeping blend of melodic and heavy power metal. Joining their conquest is powerhouse vocalist Brittney Slayes of Canadian band Unleash The Archers, on a duet with Patrik J. Selleby in a glorious mid-tempo anthem. Not only is “The Nine Crusades” the perfect album closer, but also a powerful herald of what’s to come.

Bloodbound are currently getting ready to share their new songs live. Starting March 12 in Hamburg, they will be on tour supporting labelmates Angus MCSIX, with additional support from Brainstorm. Their run will take them to eleven cities, ending in Eindhoven on March 22. Following, Bloodbound will play European festivals, including mountainous Full Metal Mayrhofen, organized by Wacken Open Air, and Alcatraz Festival in Belgium.

Fredrik Bergh comments about “The Nine Crusades”: “The major part of this song was actually written by myself and Tomas back in 2018, and it was written especially for the band Sabaton! Joakim Brodén from Sabaton liked the rough demo and wanted to work further on this song together with us, but the collaboration never materialized. I have always felt it was a very strong track, so we decided to record the song ourselves for the new album instead. I am super proud of this song. I feel it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever been involved in writing! The song features the great Brittney Slayes from Unleash The Archers, who sings the song as a duet together with Patrik.”

Tomas Olsson commented about “The Nine Crusades”: “This song is a summation of the Crusader era, 1096–1291. During this period nine crusades took place. It is estimated that over 2 million people died.”

Brittney Slayes says about “The Nine Crusades”: “It is such an honor to be featured on this Bloodbound track; I have been a fan of the band for well over a decade so when they approached me about doing some guest vocals of course the answer was a resounding yes! This song is quite different from what we do in Unleash The Archers, and is not at all like my own writing style, so I was excited to be able sing something new and to put my own spin on it. The whole collaboration had been a blast, and I’m glad I was able to make it into the music video as well; it was very nice of them to include me. Hopefully the fans enjoy this song and feel I added something worthwhile to this already amazing band!”

Bloodbound‘s first release with Napalm Records adds another 11 captivating battle hymns to their repertoire. A diverse record with aggressive songs and epic tracks alike, their eleventh album also contains some of the band’s fastest material ever written.

The opening title track, “Field Of Swords”, immediately storms into Bloodbound‘s signature sound, braiding stories of glory with a sweeping blend of melodic and heavy power metal. The dominant “As Empires Fall” follows the crusaders east and powerfully depicts said glory in epic battle in contrast with sacrifices made on the way. “Defenders Of Jerusalem” cleverly expands on the topic of loss, leaving listeners to wonder which side is holding their heads up high in the face of imminent defeat. Catchy flutes have the heroes take heart in “The Code Of Warriors” to guide them into the “Land Of The Brave” and “Field Of Swords” to new heights at the same time. “Light In The Sky” further illustrates Bloodbound‘s battle scars turned electrifying sound, while the mature “Teutonic Knights” opens up the bleak reality of the tragedy that undoubtedly accompanies this battle-torn era of history. Yet, “Forged In Iron”, “Pain and Glory”, and “Born to be King” hold their ground as equally unforgettable tunes, all leading up to the brilliant finale with Brittney Slayes of Canadian band Unleash The Archers joins “The Nine Crusades” as another valuable fighter to lead Field Of Swords to greatness.

Look, don’t be alarmed. The combination of the words “Sprints” and “Trickle Down” might immediately conjure some kind of bathroom-emergency situation, perhaps a memory of doing the pee-pee dance in the driver’s seat while desperately attempting to find a parking space before something goes terribly wrong. Don’t worry. That’s not what’s happening here. It’s just…

Where they from?
Monroe, NJ. The World Baseball Classic starts this week. A lot of baseball purists are against it because of the injury-risk to players (Edwin Diaz tore his ACL celebrating a couple of years ago #LOLMETS) but I am fond of it because if nothing else it gives us a chance to beat Canada again, which was so exciting when it happened in the Olympics that I walked around with an erection all day.

Why the hype?
Mike Mayo is grindcore royalty. The guitarist has spent time in Waking the Cadaver, Compulsed and most notable Ground, the undisputed kings of beatdown grindcore. Well the Mayo man hath returned with a one-man project focused on PATHOLOGICAL GOREGRIND. Think early Carcass and Dead Infection paired Mayo’s penchant for intimidatingly mean guitar riffing. He even did the toilet vocals himself! Bravo!

Latest release?
Demo 2026, self-released. Cavity Injector avoids all the trappings that usually turn me off from Goregrind, mainly the overly long samples and intros. Instead we get five hard minutes of biting riffs and razor-tight computerized drums. Everything this man touches is gold, he is the King Midas of grindcore.
