Known for pushing modern metal guitar into cinematic and high energy territory, Englund leans heavily into fantasy inspired storytelling, retro gaming atmosphere, and crushing riff driven composition on the new single while maintaining the precision and signature tone that has made him one of modern metal’s most recognizable guitarists.
“Inspired by classic fantasy adventures, retro gaming, cinematic soundtracks and heavy riff-driven metal, ‘The Ember Saga’ sets the tone for what is by far my biggest and most ambitious solo album to date.”
— Ola Englund
