Viking metal act LN release new single Shield Wall

LN release new single Shield Wall and sign to Rock People Management

And here’s the press release, only slightly edited and yes I have a soft spot for Viking Metal

Hailing from the North-East, LN are carving a powerful and immersive path through the modern metal landscape. Rooted in Norse mythology, witchcraft, medieval lore, and ritualistic storytelling, they blend crushing modern metal with atmospheric folk elements to create music that feels ancient in spirit yet fiercely contemporary.

In conjunction with the announcement of signing to Rock People Management, LN also release their new single 'Shield Wall' today, 9th January.

Built on thunderous riffs and ritual-esque intensity, ‘Shield Wall’ is a rallying cry written for LN’s fiercely loyal fanbase, affectionately known as the Peasants. The track channels unity and collective strength, translating ancient Viking battle traditions into a modern metal anthem.

Frontwoman LN Hirst says: " ‘Shield Wall’ was inspired by and written for the LN fan base that we refer to as our loyal Peasants. Their fierce support has got us to where we are today and we are extremely grateful for not only their love for the band, but for being the kindest and most generous humans. The opening lyrics “Peasants of LN, Peasants of now, join in our battle and follow the sound” is a call to arms for our steadfast clan, bringing them together in spirit and when played live, brings them together physically in a wall of death (a Shield Wall). The fist-pumping and body-slamming is surely a beautiful sight to behold, especially when there are blow-up shields and swords in the mix."

LN Hirst adds - "No matter who you are or what you look like, you are welcome with LN and the Peasant community will stand side by side with you to make sure you are safe and feel appreciated. ‘Shield Wall’ is about solidarity and we are proud to be able to welcome more Peasants into the clan."
