TUNGSTEN - Blood Of The Kings (Official Music Video)

Taken off the album “The Grand Inferno“ (October 18th, 2024) 🎧 Stream, get it here: Karl Johansson says: “The music is mostly based on the drum beat in the intro. Anders and I were jamming in our rehearsal studio. Anders came up with this drum beat and I just joined in. This later became the main riff of the song. The chorus of this song comes from a dream I had. I immediately recorded the melody on my phone when I woke up. The lyrical theme of the song is about our own heritage. The last couple of years Anders has been very interested in genealogy and found that we have Viking genes so that is what the song is about. One can say that it’s about our heritage.“ Mike Andersson says: “We decided to ask our multi-talent and guitar slinger, Nick Johansson, to handle the filming of the music video. All of us added ideas for the video and its story. At first, we talked about doing a video more like “Northern Lights” (Bliss) with Vikings considering the lyrical theme. Someone mentioned that it would be cool to film in a cinema. Eventually all of us started to brainstorm ideas to make the video the way we wanted with enough material for Nick to create and direct a cool video.“ Nick Johansson adds: “I wanted to direct the video so it would have a humorous side to it with some added creepiness. I did not want things to go too far though and become plastic, that was important to me. The song in itself is not very dark and I believe the video completes the song in a good way.“ 🎧 Stream, get it here: ▶ FOLLOW @REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 Web YouTube Instagram Facebook X TikTok Spotify ▶ FOLLOW @TUNGSTEN Web: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: YouTube: @tungstenband Music & Lyrics by Anders Johansson, Karl Johansson, Mike Andersson, Nick Johansson Recorded, mixed & mastered by Nick Johansson at Harm Studios Video produced by Niklas Johansson TUNGSTEN is: Mike Andersson - Vocals Niklas “Nick“ Johansson - Guitars, backing vocals Karl “Kalle“ Johansson - Bass, keyboards, screams Anders Johansson - Drums Lyrics: Back in ancient times in the northern dark Swords and axes shine, staining blood on the bark Our ancestor’s dwell in the mist of the darkest nights Brothers and sisters awakening the northern lights! We are Vikings, from the blood in our veins Hear Valhalla calling, no one stands in our way We are Vikings, where the spirits remain In our family legacy, carrying the blood of the kings! A line of kings and queens, within these winds of change Deep inside it seems that we are all the same Allfather come, send your ravens to my side With my sword in hand, I will conquer all Everyone shall know our names We are Vikings, from the blood in our veins Hear Valhalla calling, no one stands in our way We are Vikings, where the spirits remain In our family legacy, carrying the blood of the kings! We are Vikings, from the blood in our veins Hear Valhalla calling, no one stands in our way We are Vikings, where the spirits remain In our family legacy We are Vikings, from the blood in our veins Hear Valhalla calling, no one stands in our way We are Vikings, where the spirits remain In our family legacy, carrying the blood of the kings! #Tungsten #BloodOfTheKings #TheGrandInferno #ReigningPhoenixMusic #RPM #ReigningPhoenixMusic
