Bloodbound

The Profile

Swedish power metal band formed in 2004 by Fredrik Bergh and Tomas Olsson. Noted albums mentioned in reviews include Tabula Rasa (2009), In the Name of Metal (2011), Stormborn (2014) and War Of Dragons (2017).

Band associated with traditional power-metal tropes and anthemic songwriting; reviewers note recurring themes such as unity, loyalty and 'true metal' imagery. Founded in 2004; multiple studio and live releases are listed on DeBaser.

Harlan's review of Bloodbound's War Of Dragons is largely negative, calling the songs simplistic and banal. A few tracks ("Dragons Are Forever", "Starfall") are noted as better. The reviewer hoped for improvement after earlier albums but felt disappointed.
