I VALLORCH continuano il loro viaggio nel mondo del folk e del symphonic metal con il nuovo singolo, “Drink Some More!”, estratto dal nuovo album “The Circle”, in uscita il prossimo 14 marzo 2025,
Con ritmi incalzanti, melodie maestose e una potente strumentazione folk, “Drink Some More!” trasporta l’ascoltatore direttamente nel vivo di un’antica festa attorno al fuoco. La combinazione di riff trascinanti, cori trionfali e vivaci melodie di flauto cattura l’essenza del sound dei Vallorch, equilibrando l’energia grezza del folk metal con le atmosfere epiche del symphonic e del power metal. Questo brano rappresenta perfettamente l’evoluzione della band, affinando gli elementi introdotti in “Neverfade” (2013) e “Until Our Tale Is Told” (2017) in un’esperienza sonora raffinata, dinamica e immersiva.
Dal punto di vista lirico, la canzone attinge al folklore alpino e alle antiche tradizioni, celebrando il rituale senza tempo del ritrovarsi insieme per condividere storie, bevute e momenti di pura gioia. “Drink Some More!” invita gli ascoltatori a lasciarsi andare, abbracciare il presente e perdersi in un vortice di melodia e ritmo.

ABOUT:
VALLORCH was born in December 2010, when Marco Munari (NewSun), Matteo Patuelli (Alzhagoth), and Massimo Benetazzo came up with the idea right after attending a concert together. Inspired by the energy and spirit of the event, they decided to form their own band, and the name VALLORCH—taken from a small Cimbrian village on the Cansiglio plateau—was quickly chosen as a tribute to their cultural roots.
For the first year, VALLORCH experimented with different sounds and musicians, searching for the right lineup. By January 2012, the group solidified with the addition of vocalist/flutist Sara, vocalist/bassist Leonardo Dalla Via, multi-instrumentalist Andrea ‘Demetrio’ Rampin (playing tin whistle, bagpipes, accordion), and violinist Francesco Salviato. This seven-member ensemble debuted live in March 2012, promoting their newly released EP Stories of North. Their captivating blend of folk metal quickly gained traction, earning them recognition in the Italian scene and leading to performances at events like Fosch Fest, where they opened for major bands.
However, the summer of 2012 brought changes. Violinist Francesco parted ways with the band, and Martina Mezzalira took his place. Around the same time, VALLORCH signed a record deal with Moonlight Records and entered the studio to work on their first full-length album. Released in 2013, Neverfade was met with critical and fan acclaim, blending fast-paced, melodic jigs with guttural and clean vocals, alongside powerful death metal riffs. This success landed them performances at major international festivals like Metaldays.
2014 saw further lineup shifts. Andrea Demetrio Rampin left the band, replaced by Paolo Pesce on accordion, hurdy-gurdy, and keyboards. Meanwhile, vocalist Sara took over tin whistle and bagpipe duties. Founding member Matteo Patuelli also stepped down, making way for guitarist Mattia Buggin to join. Despite these changes, VALLORCH pressed forward, embarking on their first European tour with Artaius. They played in Germany, Czechia, France, Belgium, and Slovakia, culminating in a performance opening for Mägo de Oz at the Metal for Emergency festival.
Later that year, they returned to the studio to record their second full-length album, Until Our Tale Is Told (2015). The album reflected the band’s growing compositional maturity and led to more festival appearances and live shows over the next two years.
In 2016, Riccardo Gianni briefly joined the band as a violinist, performing at several major local festivals. However, by 2019, the band was once again at a crossroads. After a series of lineup changes and creative challenges, founding member Marco Munari decided to leave the group. The remaining members—Massimo, Sara, Leo, Mattia, and Marco—faced a difficult choice: either disband or evolve. They chose to reinvent themselves as a five-piece band.
The global restrictions from 2020 to 2022 made live performances difficult, but the band used this time to focus on writing new material. By 2023, VALLORCH returned to the stage, opening for renowned acts like Alestorm, Wind Rose, and Rhapsody Of Fire.
Now, in 2025, VALLORCH is set to release their highly anticipated new album, “The Circle”, marking a triumphant return. Reborn from the ashes of their former selves, they are ready to take the world by storm once again.
