The Changing Tides Of Battle With FRANCESCO CAVALIERI From WIND ROSE

When Italian metal outfit Wind Rose swept onto the music world in
2009 it is fair to say that the landscape of metal changed
forever.
Playing a hybrid of power metal crossed with folk metal, it soon
became apparent that Wind Rose weren't just another band looking to
make a name for themselves.
The wanted to be the one and only name on your lips and would use
force if necessary!
Their music was quickly dubbed Dwarf Metal - for reasons known only
to those who came up with it - but Wind Rose have run with that
description, incorporating dwarves and fantasy into their albums
and music, taking listeners on a dark and wondrous journey with
each passing release.
Which is set to continue when their new album Trollslayer is
unleashed on October 4.
A powerful, epic, and captivating sonic journey through a land
brought to life courtesy of Wind Rose's mischievous imaginations,
Trollslayer marks yet another chapter in the continuing saga of
good versus evil - with a few dwarves thrown in for good
measure.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Francesco Cavalieri to find out
more.
"Trollslayer… for the ones that already know our music style is a
mix between Wintersaga and Warfront," he explained when describing
what to expect from the new album. "Why? Because Warfront - our
previous album - didn't have any party songs and also the main
characteristic of the album was to be more solid and more epic but
no party songs. No light sounding. So it was different from the
previous album of Wind Rose. Now we've got back the keys of the
dwarf metal, and we made a new dwarf metal album, more in the style
of Wintersaga but with a new vision and more experience. We created
a more complete album."
In the full interview, Francesco talks more about Trollslayer and
what to expect, the singles released and how they represent the
album as a whole, what things they focussed on with Trollslayer,
the instrumental track Of Ice & Blood that opens the album, the
term dwarf metal and where it comes from, capturing the live feel
and sound on a recording, their high energy live shows, the
upcoming tour with Powerwolf and Hammerfall and more.
