In August 2019, the revelation of world power metal NORTHTALE released its first album, “Welcome To Paradise”, with great prominence. After their debut concert at SABATON OPEN AIR in Sweden followed by concerts in Japan, the band underwent a lineup change and after months of auditions, new vocalist Guilherme Hirose, from São Paulo, was chosen.
After releasing several re-recorded songs from “Welcome To Paradise” with Guilherme on vocals, the band finally announces their new album, “Eternal Flame”, which is slated for release on November 12 through Nuclear Blast. Produced by Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, UNISONIC), the album features 12 new tracks and a whole range of new influences, from thrash metal, classic quotes and traditional Brazilian music, all fused into the characteristic melodic power metal of NORTHTALE.
Today, the band presents their first single ‘Only Human’ – a fast, melodic anthem that hits the market with a beautiful lyric video.

Our friends at Nuclear Blast chose ‘Only Human’ as the first single. A short and to the point Power Metal track, packed with all the elements that make up our music. It will sound very familiar to fans. Lyrically, he talks about the time we are living in, where power structures are beginning to crumble and people are standing up to what they believe in, in search of evolution. But we also make mistakes, and that’s exactly what makes us human. We learn by trial and error and become wiser that way.
I know it sounds cliché, but this album is way superior to our debut. Also, I had some great friends of mine as guests! I just can’t wait to hear everyone’s reaction.
For now, enjoy ‘Only Human’; we look forward to meeting everyone this winter in Europe with UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and STRIKER.” “Eternal Flame” features guest appearances by legendary icon Kai Hansen (HELLOWEEN/GAMMA RAY), his son Tim Kanoa Hansen (INDUCTION), Jonas Heidgert (DRAGONLAND) and Mary Zimmer (HELION PRIME). The album cover and artistic concept were developed by the renowned Gustavo Sazes (MACHINE HEAD, AMARANTHE, KAMELOT).
