Gothenburg’s Heavy Metallers HELVETETS PORT have revealed a second track from their upcoming new album “Warlords”, set for release on September 6th 2024 through High Roller Records.” Warlords” is a clear progression in comparison to the first two albums of the Swedes. Vocalist Witchfinder states: “With the release of ‘From Life To Death’ (2019) we exhausted most of the material we had written up until then, which included a lot of older stuff. This time around basically every part is newly written, save for the fact that it is five years between the albums, so not all super new in that sense. But like I often say, we’re not a band that needs to be in with the times. If a song takes zero or five years to come out, it would be just as dated.”

In other words: HELVETETS PORT’s style is timeless, sticking to the strict paradigm of traditional heavy metal music, but always trying to retain its individuality. Witchfinder continues: “We delved deep into the dungeons of melancholic obscurity with ‘From Life To Death’ and now we felt like a change of pace. The sound on ‘Warlords’ is more towards 1984 than 1981. It generally has a post-apocalyptic theme and the songs are a bit more straight forward. Although straight forward when it comes to HELVETETS PORT might still be considered progressive by someone else…”
