The time has come!\u00a0WARLOCK A.D.<\/strong>\u2018s Sophomore album\u00a0\u201cBook II: The Valley of V\u00e2gen\u00e9\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is now available as of September 27th from\u00a0Rockshots Records<\/strong>. Over two years in the making, this entry into the\u00a0WarlocK A.D.<\/strong>\u00a0saga is bigger, thicker, and more powerful than anything they have brought you before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set directly after the events of \u201cBook I: The Reserrection\u201d, the album begins with Whiteacre The Mighty Warlock stranded in A Strange New World – powerless and alone. With the help of the Elven Prince Quinn Eilianther, Horatus the Mushroom Wizard and Ahriman Cullblade the Shadow assassin, Whiteacre the Nomad begins the long quest to The Valley of V\u00e2gen\u00e9 – said to be the home of a gateway to the vast infinite multiverse. Danger awaits the brave heroes however, for Brittanni is ruled by the tyrannical Dwarf Emperor Thorumm III who seeks The Valley for his own nefarious purposes. The prophesied coming of a stranger to the land of Brittanni has awakened the gateway – and the race to the multiverse has begun\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is 12 tracks of interwoven musical storytelling implementing motifs, themes, and callbacks. From the sweeping orchestral movements of \u201cThe Golden Showers of Prest\u00f8nia\u201d <\/strong>to the frantic folk metal flavorings of \u201cRothgar Warsong\u201d<\/strong>, the album combines the sound and styles of various iterations of orchestra-led melodic metal – culminating in what feels like a fully-fledged D&D style epic told through the medium of a Heavy Metal Musical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land of Brittanni holds many secrets, and not everything is as it seems\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quest to The Valley of V\u00e2gen\u00e9 continues with “Rothgar Warsong”<\/strong> on all digital platforms and with a brand new video!!

\u201cRothgar Warsong\u201d <\/strong>is a song that tells the tale of our heroes as they find themselves at the mercy of a tribe of Half-orc barbarians – led by the titular Rothgar Warsong. The track is heavily inspired by modern folk metal acts such as Feuerschwanz and Turisas and is the only track on the album to utilize more folk instruments (bagpipes, mandolin, hurdy-gurdy) than traditional orchestral instruments. With dialogue and ambient sound, a sense of adventurous storytelling is created as Whiteacre the Nomad steps up to defend Prince Quinn against the wishes of Rothgar Warsong; and despite the duel culminating in defeat, all is not lost – for the Human Resistance of Brittanni rides in at the last second to save our heroes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Fans of<\/strong> Feuerschwanz, Turisas, and Wind Rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
