Symphonic folk metal powerhouse Valhalore has shared another single and video, "Wayfinder", from its upcoming sophomore full-length, Beyond The Stars, set for release on 11 April, along with the reissue of the band's self-released debut album Voyage To Eternity, via ROAR.
Says the band about the new song: "We all come into, and one day leave, this world alone. Some of us are lucky enough to experience true love along the way, and it can guide us and pick us up even on our darkest days. 'Wayfinder' is a song for the lovers, the dreamers, and those of us who know what it's like to love and be loved in return".
In support of its upcoming record release, Valhalore has announced a series of Australian headlining tour dates to kick off this May in Sydney (live dates are listed below). Known for its electrifying live performances and sweeping soundscapes, Valhalore has firmly established itself as a rising force in the Australian and global metal scenes. Prepare for a night of soaring melodies, crushing metal chaos, and an atmosphere of pure magic. Link
