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, dueting 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 label mates 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. Find the full list of dates below!

Fredrik Bergh 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.”
