Celebrating a whopping 25 years of headbanging glory, Battlesword is about to drop their fifth full-length beast, (XX)V - Of Tales And Tragedies. This album is a full-blown tribute to their journey through the metal world, blending that classic melodic death metal vibe we all love with some fresh twists. The title, (XX)V, isn’t just clever wordplay—it’s a nod to both their anniversary and their growing discography, while Of Tales And Tragedies digs deep into the gritty stories and epic experiences they've picked up along the way.
 
With the magic touch of Michael "Freio" Haas at Big Easy Studio in Hennef for recording and mixing, and the mastering skills of the legendary Dan Swanö, this album promises a sonic ride through doom-heavy passages, blistering speed, and everything in between. Fun fact: for the first time ever, the band’s lineup stayed the same throughout the entire process. That’s some real brotherhood right there! And speaking of which, keep an ear out for the track Brethren Of The Sword, a real nod to their shared past. Expect nothing less than an album that sticks to the soul of melodic death metal, but don’t be surprised when it takes you places you didn't expect.
