Swedish power metal force The Storyteller are back with a vengeance. Today sees the release of a brand new lyric video for their thunderous single, “Fields of Blood and Steel”. The track is taken from their long-awaited seventh full-length album, "The Final Stand", set to ignite speakers on 25 April 2025 via The Circle Music.
“Fields of Blood and Steel” is a power metal anthem that paints a vivid picture of desperate defense and unwavering resolve during war-time. The song transports listeners to a plateau overlooking a serene beach, now invaded by a hostile army. Witness the Allies, the island’s defenders, as they prepare for a desperate stand against overwhelming odds. “We make our stand on the fields of blood and steel - either we die or will be free,” the chorus cries, encapsulating the fierce spirit of those willing to sacrifice everything for their home.

“Fields of Blood and Steel” offers a powerful taste of what fans can expect from "The Final Stand", The Storyteller’s first album in ten years. After a period of dormancy, the band has returned with renewed energy, recapturing the core essence of their signature sound. This resurgence is fueled by a potent creative partnership between vocalist L-G Persson and Cedrick Forsberg (Blazon Stone). Forsberg’s outreach to Persson ignited the flame, resulting in an album that Persson himself declares a landmark achievement for the band.
“This is the production that managed to bind together all the elements that make The Storyteller unique,” comments Persson. “In this production, the music reflects the vision, and the lyrics bind together the storytelling theme. For the first time, it feels that everything is in place.”
"The Final Stand" will be available in digital formats, black vinyl, transparent blue vinyl, and jewel case CD, marking a new chapter for The Storyteller as they find a new home with Greek-based label The Circle Music.
