UNCHAINED VENGEANCE have shared ‘Warrior Heart,’ the second single from their debut full-length, Unbound and Unforgiving. Multi-instrumentalist Nick Wusz accompanies the song with a statement about forgotten dreams, past battles and enduring hope. The track is available to hear through the supplied YouTube player.
Wusz comments: ‘Look deep inside yourself, into the depths of forgotten dreams, and battles past…that is where you will find your heart. From Birth, through Present Day, and into the Future, you will walk alone, unafraid, knowing that you hold the ultimate key to everlasting hope….your WARRIOR HEART will never dim!’
The announcement sets Unbound and Unforgiving for October 30, 2026 through Nameless Grave Records and includes an album pre-order link. ‘Warrior Heart’ runs 05:36 and occupies the sixth position on the ten-track record.
Based in Portland, Oregon, UNCHAINED VENGEANCE bring together vocalist Nick Courtney and Wusz on guitars, bass and drums. Courtney’s background includes Vicious Rumors and Iron Maiden tribute band Fear of the Dark; Wusz is also known for Dolven and Travellers Rest.
The debut’s epic heavy metal combines riffs, soaring vocals, galloping rhythms and heroic melodies with acoustic passages and interludes. The announcement points listeners toward Hammerfall’s Glory to the Brave era, Doomsword, Crescent Shield and Iron Maiden as reference points.
Its songs address courage, loss, revenge and redemption through a setting of warriors, blades and sorcery. ‘The Whisper of Sorrowsbane’ concerns the bond between warrior and blade, ‘False Knight’ condemns false champions, and ‘Only Ruins Remain’ follows a return to a fallen homeland. Fen Walker provides the instrumental interludes on tracks one, four, seven and ten.
Wusz recorded the music at Cirrus Studios in Portland, Oregon. Vocals were recorded at Perfect Audio in Vancouver, Washington, where Pooya Entezari mixed and mastered the album. Silvana Massa created the cover artwork, Obscure Visions handled the layout, and the album credits list Brendan Elliott as logo artist. The supplied band photographs are credited to Pooya Entezari.
