COUNTESS will release their long-awaited new full-length album, entitled ‘Banners Of Blood’.
‘Banners Of Blood’ is the band’s sixteenth full-length and features twelve tracks of uncompromising metal music, blending first wave Black Metal and traditional Heavy Metal in a way only Countess can.
The albums features two songs in Dutch and, for the first time, a song in Russian: ‘Ledovoye Poboishche’ (‘Battle On The Ice’) tells the story of Alexander Nevsky’s great victory over the crusader knights in 1242 CE.
The new album also marks the first appearance on a Countess full-length of guitarist Valgard and keyboardist Häxa.
