Winterfylleth Sign With Napalm Records, Unveil ‘The Unyielding Season’ Details & “Heroes Of A Hundred Fields” Video

British black metal veterans Winterfylleth have signed with Napalm Records and announced their ninth studio album, The Unyielding Season, due out March 27th.

The band has unveiled “Heroes Of A Hundred Fields” as the lead single from the album, alongside an official music video directed by Killian Monson. Addressing the inspiration behind the track, the band explained:

“‘Heroes Of A Hundred Fields’ is framed in a wartime, battlefield setting and uses the premise of soldiers coming together, united as brothers, to fight against a foe who are powerful, oppressive, and domineering. It talks about how people should come together and fight for the freedoms they have and not succumb to those who would attack them and try to weaken them (or take them away entirely).

There have been so many ideas and schemes pushed into the world over the last few years that only serve to erode people’s personal freedoms, slowly, little-by-little, until they are gone. This song talks about ‘lighting the beacons of rebellion’ against those who would seek to undermine the way of life and freedom that we all – hopefully – hold dear.”

The group also shared insight into what listeners can expect from the album as a whole:

“2026 marks a year of big changes for Winterfylleth! A new label, a new member, a new album, and the landmark of 20 years making music together. We are enthused by what this new chapter will bring, and as a result, we are now able to share our ninth album, ‘The Unyielding Season’, with the world. It is also a powerful and virulent first output, through which we seal our new collaboration with Napalm Records.

In many ways, the new album is a reflection on – and a rebellion against – the turmoil’s and fears that are tearing the lives of many individuals apart. It is a cry against the unsustainable & constant weight of malevolence and pressure being pushed into the world by agents of an un-resting and unyielding force for evil.

We hope the album resonates with you, stirs your soul, and gives you a source for hope. But, we also hope it makes you ask questions of your own circumstances and gives you pause to consider the unnerving state of the world we all share.”

A press release further expanded on the album’s themes and compositions, describing “Heroes Of A Hundred Fields” as the opening revolt in a ten-song manifesto centered on unity and resistance. Other highlights include “Echoes In The After,” adapted from a poem in Sir Philip Sidney’s The Countess Of Pembroke’s Arcadia and inspired by the felling of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree, and the album’s title track, which serves as a powerful commentary on the current global climate.

The record also features atmospheric instrumental passages, melodic black metal epics, and concludes with a bonus cover of Paradise Lost’s 1995 classic “Enchantment.”

The Unyielding Season marks Winterfylleth’s first album since welcoming bassist/vocalist Mark Doyle to the lineup last year.
