TWILIGHT FORCE Sign Album Contract With Nuclear Blast Records
February 12th, 2016

Swedish power metal group Twilight Force have signed an album contract with Nuclear Blast Records, revealing this development on February 12th, 2016.

Twilight Force issued the following statement: “Sound the Horns of Triumph! It is with great exuberance that we can finally reveal that a legendary Scroll of Allegiance has been sealed. Twilight Force have entered into a pact with Nuclear Blast, and will henceforth stand proudly alongside venerable acts such as Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Sabaton and Blind Guardian. This wondrous covenant will unlock magic portals to kingdoms unknown, and help us guide humans and kindred spirits alike into our mystical glorious realm. So, now is the time to rejoice! The Knights of Twilight’s Might shall rise!

“We are currently working fervently and meticulously in the studio, the Twilight Forge, to complete the second opus of Twilight Force. We aim to create something that will take power metal to new heights — it will be a milestone for us and hopefully for the genre, and far exceed our debut album in both length and sound quality. Expect a fast-paced adventurous and bright listening experience, both through tonality, storytelling and even sound design. It will be a sparkling magical adventure filled with lore, virtuosity, memorable melodies and majestic soundscapes previously unheard of in the genre. We are working to transcend our own sound from the first album, and develop it into something new and fresh, but still keep the essence of power metal intact. The currently untitled adventure metal album is scheduled for a September 2016 release on Nuclear Blast Records.”

Nuclear Blast’s Head Of Promotion and A&R Markus Wosgien shared the following words, meanwhile: “It was love at first sight. Their debut album rotated endlessly and after I had the chance to convince myself from their live qualities on tour, the mission was sealed. Their symphonic, like an arrow and hyper-melodic power metal may polarize, but Twilight Force make matters satisfying, honestly and with loads of lifeblood. Everyone who likes the early Rhapsody records, who appreciates Stratovarius’ classics and who counts DragonForce as one of his favourites, will be enthusiastic about Twilight Force for sure. The point, that the band consist of really smart guys in addition, made it very easy for all of us to find common ground and to develop a clear vision. We’re looking forward to a fertile cooperation and their upcoming album, its demos suggest something big.”

Twilight Force’s line-up is as follows;

Chrileon (lead vocals)
Lynd (electric and acoustic guitars and lute)
Aerendir (guitar)
Born (bass)
Cembalo De’Azsh (drums)
Blackwald (keyboards, piano, and violin)

Debut studio record Tales Of Ancient Prophecies was released in June 2014.
