Music Video – “Pints Held High”
“BOLERO’s music is a pure onslaught of triumphantly epic Celtic metal that crushes the boundaries of modern metal.” – The New Review
“Voyage from Vinland is an extremely enjoyable album, and it certainly brings back memories of my first encounter with bands such as Ensiferum, with the catchiness and the heroic feel of the music.” – HeavyMetalTribune.com
“A damn good debut for giving boring folk metal a run for its money, and creating a sound all their own. From now on, expect great things from Canadian-Celtic hotshots Bolero… with song titles like “Pints Held High” and “O’ Hail to the Northlander,” one can tell they are in for a uplifting show of the relatively untapped primal strength of nature…If Celts are cool, then Bolero itself is even cooler.” – The New Review – 4/5
“What we’ll find in this album? Epic, very epic,… A perfect album for fans of the genre and for all fans of Melodic Death.” – Satanarise.com

It’s the question all bands get asked at some point, and the question they most hate/fear: How would you describe your sound?
However, for Ontario, Canada’s Bolero, the answer says it all: Symphonic Celtic Death Metal.
Formed in 2005 by singer/bassist Morgan Rider as a black metal side project, Bolero’s present line-up and direction became focused and solidified in 2007. Having recently unleashed their debut album, Voyage From Vinland, the epic metal warriors behind Bolero are now gaining real momentum and converting listeners and critics across the globe into believers and preachers of symphonic Celtic death metal.
Having spent a year and a half recording at Attlesey Studios (Hallows Die, Will of the Ancients, Panzerfaust), the 11-track debut is a culmination of the band’s songwriting and hard work from the past several years. Making the album a reality was an exercise in perfect construction, as Rider says, “each track was built from the ground up; from the heavy bottoms to the swirling orchestral parts. Kind of like a puzzle in a 100-track sort of way.”
Drawing influence from an array of genres and styles ranging from folk to death metal, and everything in between, it’s no wonder Voyage From Vinland simultaneously features formidably epic orchestrations, ear-piercing guitar riffs, throat-crushing speed and triumphant melodies.
