The new album by Swedish power metal heroes Bloodbound delivers fast, melodic songs with enormous anthem potential. With their ever refining sound, Bloodbound inspire their fans all over the world! Rise of the Dragon Empire is a million miles away from the straight-up metal of their early albums, but Bloodbound are growing into this style nicely, and I’m enjoying this more than I expected.
