Alzenau, Germany-based power metal act, Thornbridge, will release their debut, What Will Prevail, produced by Orden Ogan vocalist Seeb Levermann, on February 19 via Massacre Records. The band has released the album’s artwork, created by Juanjo Castellano Rosado, who was worked with other acts like Vomitory and Portrait. The artwork has some parallels to the album’s title track, explains bassist Burghi:
“The song ‘What Will Prevail’ is about all those, who refused to yield, who held on to their beliefs even when they were tortured and killed. It’s about those who will be remembered.”
Burghi also stated that the album doesn’t follow any theme, but that it’s set in a fantastic medieval setting.
