The wait is over! Bill Hudson’s Swedish/American power metal band, NorthTale have unveiled the very first song “Shape Your Reality” from the upcoming album!
Stream the official audio “Shape Your Reality” below.
Stated the band:
“We guess some of you figured out the Easter egg floating around the internet yesterday... :P To those who didn’t, here's our first song, a good taste of what we’re working so hard on for the upcoming album! More great news to come... For now, enjoy it and #ShapeYourReality!”...
NorthTale was born out of the desire of three world class musicians to work with each other in creating a new Power Metal band, blending melodic, anthemic choruses with fast paced rhythms and technically challenging, often harmonized solos.
In the words of guitarist Bill Hudson: “We want to bring back the amazing golden years of Power Metal. Like in the late 90s, when Stratovarius, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall and all those bands were at their peak!”...
Hudson met vocalist Christian Eriksson at a summer festival in Sweden, where both were performing with their former groups, Udo Dirkschneider and Twilight Force, respectively. Both musicians seemed to share the same ideas, and Hudson invited Eriksson to sing on what at the time was supposed to be his solo album.
“We were both in touch with Patrick Johansson about starting a new band”, says Eriksson, about the former Yngwie Malmsteen drummer. “It only made sense that him, Bill and myself did something together. That’s basically how it all started”.
For the bass, Eriksson brought in his former class mate at Hollywood’s Musicians Institute, Mikael Planefeldt, who has been working in Sweden with Streamline.
Jimmy Pitts met Bill Hudson while both musicians worked with his Ttans-Siberian Orchestra bandmate Vitalij Kuprij (Artension, Ring Of Fire). Pitts seemed like the obvious choice and perfect fit to complete the band’s line up.
Line-up:
Christian Eriksson: Vocals
Bill Hudson: Guitar
Patrick Johansson: Drums
Mikael T. Planefeldt: Bass
