[MEDIA RELEASE} Vallorch is back with their latest single and video, “Circle Of The Moon”. This liberating anthem invites listeners to reconnect with nature and embrace the joy of living. Inspired by Cimbrian myths, the song captures the essence of the ancient dances to the Moon God Maano, celebrating freedom and authenticity.
The track offers a glimpse into Vallorch’s upcoming album, The Circle (2025), set to release in March 2025, which explores the theme of the night in all its facets—from reflection and tranquility to celebration and connection. The album combines Vallorch’s signature folk metal sound with symphonic and power metal influences, blending vibrant melodies, heavy riffs, and a touch of melancholy.
The Circle marks a significant step forward in Vallorch’s musical journey. Their debut album, Neverfade (2013), introduced their distinctive folk metal style characterized by lively melodies and a straightforward rhythmic approach. With Until Our Tale Is Told (2017), the band expanded their horizons incorporating more intricate song structures and exploring new rhythmic patterns. Now, with The Circle, Vallorch has distilled the essence of their sound, crafting an album that is both polished and emotionally resonant. It balances the simplicity and catchiness of Neverfade with the ambitious arrangements of Until Our Tale Is Told creating a cohesive and mature work that showcases the band’s evolution.
The band’s current sound can be described as flowing, ecstatic, vibrant, grandiose, and gleaming. Influenced by Nightwish, Eluveitie, Alestorm, Epica, and Wind Rose, Vallorch seamlessly blends the energy of folk metal with the grandeur of symphonic and power metal. Their music stands out for its dynamic interplay of epic choruses, intricate melodies, and anthemic atmospheres.
Don’t miss “Circle Of The Moon” and its video—a powerful preview of the epic journey awaiting listeners in “The Circle”. This single is not just a song; it’s an invitation to celebrate life, embrace authenticity, and join Vallorch in their most accomplished chapter yet.
