Dwarven Army Wind Rose add another chapter to their epic, story-filled new album, “Wintersaga”, by releasing “Drunken Dwarves” today via Napalm Records. The track is a follow-up of their popular first single, “Diggy Diggy Hole”, which recently crossed five million views on YouTube. “Drunken Dwarves” talks about exactly what the name suggests: drunken, mead-filled nights, starting a tavern brawl, and singing and partying until they fall (asleep, hopefully).
Wind Rose on “Drunken Dwarves”:
“WHAT IS BETTER THAN A DWARF?! A DRUNKEN DWARF! You sang, you danced and you drank all over Europe on this song with us, now your request has been heard and answered. "Drunken Dwarves" will blow you away among rivers of beer, mead and metal!”...
The new video takes us to a tavern in Middle Earth where our favorite dwarven army is giving a concert in a small, rustic tavern with many spectators. In true dwarf-fashion, they feast, drink and enjoy the concert, but behold – an old enemy nears. Will he be accepted into the midst of the dwarves to be able to enjoy the concert or will his story end quite differently? Find out for yourself and join the dwarven party!
Watch the video for “Drunken Dwarves” below.
“Wintersaga” will be released on September 27th, 2019, via Napalm Records. Be prepared for epic songs, heavy riffs and an overall stunning setting!
The album is available for pre-order here.

“We don’t write songs, we smith them against the anvil”. And that’s power metallers Wind Rose in a nutshell! The five-piece that started out in Pisa, Italy in 2009 is no secret to genre connoisseurs thanks to three well-received albums and tours with Wintersun, Ensiferum and many more. But now their big moment in the spotlight has come – Wind Rose are ready for the final breakthrough with “Wintersaga”! They have perfected their mixture of heroic steel and folky, mead-drenched anthems in the meantime: party tunes don’t get better than “Drunken dwarves”. Seriously. Counterbalance arrives in shape of epic power metal anthems like “The Art of War” or “We Were Warriors”, carefully treading the fine line between neck-breaking riffing and dramatic orchestration. A highly entertaining and unforgettable ride over mountains, snow and ice!
