The second studio album from Mace’n’Chain, titled »Crowned in Grey Skies«, will come out later this year via No Remorse Records. Release date and pre-orders will be announced down the line.
Mace ‘n‘ Chain were formed in Sweden at the end of 2020 by David Nilsson. Their debut album »Among Ancient Pillars« came out in 2023 on the aforementioned label and was met with great reviews.
Stylistically, Mace’n’Chain will appeal to fans of Eternal Champion, Wrathblade, Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Brocas Helm, Ironsword and Manowar. The new album »Crowned in Grey Skies« takes things a step further, while still keeping that mysterious, phrasing-rich, thunderous epic metal sound.
