Krilloan has released a video for “Atlantean Sword“, first single taken from the new album “Return Of The Heralds” to be released on September 20th by Scarlet Records.
Straight outta the golden days of sword & sorcery, there’s no man more famed than the one and only Conan the Cimmerian: “Atlantean Sword” is a tribute to not only the character of Conan, but also the remarkable impact that the movie “Conan The Barbarian” has had on generations of people. In this attempt to answer the riddle of steel, Krilloan brings soaring vocals, wailing guitars, shredding bass lines and blasting drums to match the man born on a battlefield!

“Return Of The Heralds” will be released in the following formats:

Following the success of the blazing debut album “Emperor Rising”, “Return Of The Heralds” delivers yet more fast melodic tunes living and prospering in the realm of traditional power-speed metal.
The new Krilloan record is once again a heartfelt homage to the “good ol’ times” of classic heavy metal and sword & sorcery entertainment that shaped them. Epic and fierce battle hymns about Conan the Barbarian, Elric of Melniboné, “Warhammer 40.000” and those never-ending days spent in a world beyond our own: this is the conceptual foundation of the Swedish band led by guitarist Klas Holmgren, with a clear focus on a well-crafted and always well-balanced songwriting as well.
One thing is for certain: you will never be bored listening to a Krilloan album!
