Walpyrgus

Walpyrgus Nights

In 2012 a conglomerate of veteran Heavy Metal musicians joined together in North Carolina under the moniker of Walpyrgus. Coming from long running, respected bands, founding members Scott Waldrop (guitar/chief songwriter - Twisted Tower Dire), Jonny Aune (vocals -Twisted Tower Dire, Viper), Jim Hunter (bass - While Heaven Wept, Twisted Tower Dire, October 31), Charley Shackelford (guitar -Daylight Dies) and Peter Lemieux (drums - Viper) drew upon influences ranging from Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Black Sabbath to early Slayer and even The Ramones - resulting in a harmonically rich, melodic, energetic take on classic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. "Walpyrgus Nights" represents the full realization of the potential of this dangerous meeting of Metal minds. Hook after hook, cascading guitar harmonies, anthemic soaring vocals, epic unexpected twists and turns abound, this 8 song opus is truly a genuinely inspired, wild, fun ride through the annals of classic Hard Rock and early Metal with a distinct personality. The album, that features the artwork of Gustavo Sazes (Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy, Firewind), was recorded in a variety of locations over the course of two intense years under the guidance of Tom Phillips, mixed by longtime collaborator Kevin "131" Gutierrez (Raven, Deceased, Believer) and mastered by Bill Wolf (Raven, While Heaven Wept). So when the when the stars are right and you're alone, take a journey, lock the world tight and prepare yourself for the tales of demons, spectres, and witches rising on Walpyrgus Nights!
