Holter have filmed a music video for the track ‘The Last Generation’, which can be viewed below.
Trond Holter issues debut solo full-length studio album Vlad The Impaler on November 9th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl, under the moniker Holter.
The track ‘World’s On Fire’ can be streamed below.
Initially born as a one-off musical project between two Norwegian metal and hard rock, Trond Holter (ex-Wig Wam) and vocalist Jorn Lande, the duo’s Dracula rock opera morphed into a full-time musical project with guitarist, producer and songwriter Holter at the helm.
While the original plan was to leave 2015’s collaborative Swing Of Death as a one-off recording, staging the album as a musical in Norwegian theatres convinced Holter that a follow-up was possible. Already sitting on plenty of new material, Holter felt inspired to tell more stories of Dracula and other vampires that did not find a home in the storyline of that first album.
“The first round of the Dracula rock opera was, in terms of live shows, only half the story with about 45 minutes of music, so I added some additional songs for the live shows to complete the story,” Holter explained. “It was my intention all along to make this into a big show, even if it took a few years to complete. When I started on the new album, I reworked a few unused songs and that also inspired me to write some new ones. It’s a bit hard for me to say, being so close to the material, but it’s a few steps up the ladder sound-wise. You can easily recognise the spirit of the first album, only with more energy.”
