Stormborn Queen

Hagbard was created in 2010 in Juiz de Fora – Brazil. Since the beginning the band has been mixing Folk music influences with Heavy Metal in general and has been trying to develop its own style despite anything. Hagbard’s music doesn’t contain a single atmosphere, it varies from cheerful songs to melancholic ones. The lyrical content is mainly based on Fantasy themes mixed with folklore and mithology from different cultures. 

The band released a Demo-CD called Warrior's Legacy in 2011, it contains 4 tracks: Warrior’s Legacy, Let us Bring Something for Bards to Sing, March to Glory and Mystical Land. The material showed the band`s intentions. It was praised both by the critics and the fans, leading the band to an expressive numbers of views on its web-pages and a significative growth within the brazilian metal scene.

Hagbard started recording its Debut-CD entitled Rise of the Sea King in mid-2012. Before concluding it, Hagbard released the Single Lost in the Highlands which includes a new song called Berserker’s Requiem and a newer version of the song Let us Bring Something for Bards to Sing, on March 9th 2013. 

The Debut-CD was recorded at Aba Studio, located in the band`s hometown, with the producer Leo Simas. The mix/master process was done at Dead Dog Farm, Sweden, by Jerry Torstensson (Draconian Drummer) and the whole artwork was made by Jobert Mello/Sledgehammer Graphix (Sabaton, Primal Fear). 

Hagbard's Debut-CD got attention even before being released. Rise of the Sea King will be released by SoundAge Productions from Moscow/Russia, a label that has been active since 1998 and has released bands like Arkona, Grai, etc. Besides performing live and scheduling dates for the tour that will begin after Rise of the Sea King’s release the band will also focus in releasing it in Brazil.
