Embrace Of Souls present “The Battle Of The Dead”, the official music video and title track from their upcoming album out May 22nd, 2026 via Rockshots Records.
After crossing the 100,000 views mark with “Desolate Lands”, the band returns with one of the defining moments of their new symphonic power metal album - set in a medieval world consumed by plague, where the final clash between the living and the dead unfolds.
Driven by galloping riffs, double-kick precision, layered keyboards and the contrast between heavy and operatic vocals, “The Battle Of The Dead” delivers a focused and dynamic take on modern European power metal.
Video by Maurizio Del Piccolo (Moviedel)
Mixed and mastered by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Studios, London.

LYRICS:
Through the storm
A war to pierce the blackest skies
We're writing future tales
Timeless deeds
Raise your fists and scream your pride
A symphony of battlecries
(Spirits walking on the field)
The fight goes on
Life and Death are battling for
Something they don't even know
The soil is cursed
Boundless power of their shades
Raining down on our fates
Time has come
No one is gonna see the dawn
I can feel it in my bones
(Feel the power of their souls)
And now the skies are painted red
In the battle of the dead
(But still we stand)
Hope is gone
Shadow legion, thousands more arrive
A million soldiers without mind
The Dark Lord
Orchestrates their swords and pace
Tugging at the threads of fate
Towards dawn
We're falling but we're standing tall
We have iron in our bones
(In our bodies, in our souls)
We'll greet the morning once again
In the battle of the dead
(we'll find our way)
Back to the wall
The soil drinks deep of blood and tears
saints and sinners dying in fear
Arcane force
Keeps on grinding flesh and bones
Countless graves without headstones
But still we endure
(still we endure)
We're falling but we're standing tall
We have iron in our bones
(In our bodies, in our souls)
And now the skies are painted red
In the battle of the dead
(And yet we stand)
