DiscoveRock Edition N°29 - Wind Rose

The DiscoveRock articles were absent for a little while, but are coming back today for the 29th edition. For this edition, back in the Power Fantasy metal, with a group that I discovered today but I already enjoy the music and theme: Wind Rose.

Italian group formed in 2009, Wind Rose reflects for me the spirit of the epic mix of Medieval and Metal music. Dressed in their armors and their fur capes, axes in hand, like dwarves, gathered around a fire in the middle of the night in the forest, this group plunges us into the fantastic world of armor, swords and orcs . And all this of course accompanied by their melodic and epic Folk / Power metal music and their chants that gave me chills at first listen. One of their songs even mentions Erebor, the famous dwarf city of Tolkien's universe. But my favorite song of them remains for now "The Returning Race" that I listen without getting tired.
For now, the band has a demo released in 2010, and three official albums: Shadows over Lothadruin, released in 2012, Wardens of the West Wind released in 2015, and Stonehymn released in 2017.
If you like the epicness of medieval and the power of metal, this group is for you.
