Wuppertal, Nordrhein-Westfalen Aug 12, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Prepare for the roar of liberation as Vikings and Valkyries 24 release their electrifying new single, “Chains Break,” available on all major streaming platforms starting August 15. Drawing deep inspiration from Norse mythology, the band gives voice to Fenrir, the mythical wolf who breaks free from his ancient bindings, symbolizing unchained power, fury, and freedom.
Blending hard-hitting rock guitars, dark folk melodies, and atmospheric storytelling, “Chains Break” captures the primal energy and emotional turmoil of Fenrir’s legendary escape. The single surges with epic intensity, channeling Nordic mysticism through a modern rock lens, crafted for fans of Viking folk, pagan rock, and mythic tales set to music.
“We wanted to embody that moment of raw, explosive release when the chains shatter and the ancient beast rises,” says frontman and composer Benjamin Schmidt (aka Benji Peterson), the creative force behind the band. “It’s not just a song, it’s a myth reborn through sound.”
