UNLEASHED Stream Crushing Mid-Tempo New Single “Hold Your Hammer High!”
Unleashed have returned with ferocity and purpose on their latest single “Hold Your Hammers High!”, the second preview from their forthcoming album Fire Upon Your Lands, due out August 15, 2025, via Napalm Records.
The song it’s the kind of track that makes it clear why Unleashed are still hailed as one of the Big Four of Stockholm Death Metal: sharp guitar riffs, massive mid-tempo rhythms, and frontman Johnny Hedlund summoning the wrath of Odin through growls that feel carved from stone.
The band says about the song: “Although many battles have been won, the hunt for White Christ is far from over. The Son of Thor asks the Warriors of Midgard if they are still with him as the journey now continues home to Svithiod. Years of war and struggle have changed us all. But hope must prevail…Hold You Hammers High!”
Expanding about the album’s themes, they added: “Fire Upon Your Lands is our 15th album in 37 years. It is also a continuation of the storyline from the World of Odalheim, where the Midgard Warriors keep fighting for their way of life against their main enemy, “White Christ”. We hope you appreciate this new Blot of 11 songs of pure Viking Death Metal. See you all on the road!”
