Inner Wound Recordings are proud to announce the release of an LP edition of the latest Enbound album “The Blackened Heart”. The edition is strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide and the release date is set to May 5th.
“The Blackened Heart” has a nice mix of heavy and up tempo songs, all with their own strong and grasping melodies. Some songs has a more aggressive, modern metal tone like ‘Give Me Light’. A track like ‘Feel My Flame’ has classic metal influences, while ‘They Don’t Really Know’ beautifully combines sensibility with force. Enbound prove with “The Blackened Heart” that they can handle any angle of melodic metal. Like their debut, their characteristic powerful arrangements remain with fantastic and emotional vocals on top.
Enbound was formed in 2006 by Mike Cameron Force (Mikael Hornqvist) from Borås, Sweden. He had previously played with bands like Zonata and Poem. The experienced bass player, Swede “Machine gun fingers” Odén was added along with guitar virtuoso, Marvin Flowberg. Finally in 2009 the band found their lead singer in Lee Hunter (Lars Säfsund) who is famous for his time in the Swedish melodic rock band Work of Art, performances in musicals like Jesus Christ Superstar, TV shows like “Let’s Dance”, Eurovision Song Contest and working with musicians like Bill Champlin [Chicago] and Joseph Williams [Toto]. The band’s sound has been likened to the melodic power metal of Kamelot with the vocal harmonies of Sonata Arctica.
