Blazon Stone & Bronze

Prepare for an electrifying evening as two powerhouses of traditional heavy metal, Blazon Stone and Bronze, converge for an unforgettable live performance. This is a rare opportunity to witness the mastery of multi-instrumentalist Cederick Forsberg, who ties both incredible acts together.

BLAZON STONE: THE PIRATE METAL SAGA

Blazon Stone is the brainchild of Cederick Forsberg, a respected figure in the heavy metal scene renowned for his unwavering dedication to classic metal. Born from a creative necessity to explore specific musical themes, Blazon Stone initially sailed under the banner of influences from Running Wild’s legendary era, yet always infused with Cederick’s distinctive artistic vision.

What began as a studio project has now evolved into a formidable full line-up, primed and ready to unleash its meticulously crafted sound upon live audiences. Cederick’s leadership ensures Blazon Stone delivers a powerful homage to traditional heavy metal while forging a truly unique and compelling identity of its own.

BRONZE: A REVIVAL OF TRUE METAL

Joining them on stage is Bronze, an international force in traditional heavy metal, fronted by the commanding vocals of Mina Walkure. Her journey with the band began in 2010 alongside her brother Lap on bass, driven by a shared passion to reignite the classic heavy metal tradition that felt absent at the time. Completing this formidable trio on guitars is none other than Cederick Forsberg, adding another layer of intricate musicianship to the band’s sound.

Bronze wasted no time making their mark. Their blazing debut EP, 'Wield Revenge', dropped in 2016 to immediate acclaim from fans and critics alike. This success was amplified in 2020 with their powerful first full-length album, 'Gods of Death'.

Both releases showcase a profound influence from the golden age of 80s heavy metal, drawing from a rich tapestry of genres:

• epic heavy metal
• Teutonic metal
• USPM (United States Power Metal)
• NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal)
• neo-classical
• speed metal

These classic sounds are seamlessly interwoven with elements of medieval folklore and classical melodies, creating a rich, immersive sonic landscape. The band’s visual aesthetic, both on and off-stage, perfectly complements their music, with graphics and stage props carefully aligned to enhance their compelling storytelling.

The band marked a new chapter in 2023 with a name change to Bronze, swiftly followed by the release of their highly anticipated second full-length album, 'In Chains and Shadows', in 2024.

Prepare for a night where the spirit of heavy metal reigns supreme, delivered by two bands dedicated to its enduring power and evolution. This is an essential event for any true metal fan.
