March 6th, 2024

Coventhrall shoots the toughest space adventure of the year for all friends of Sci-fi and flamboyant metal music. Debut album "Legacy Of Morfuidra " leads listeners towards far away galaxies and folds of space and time. The music itself is solid power metal resembling such bands as Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray.

Warning: Spoiler alert!
“The villains of the story: Space pirates aka Scavens invade the peaceful planet and solar system of Morfuidra in order to enslave the people and to steal technology and artifacts most sought after in the entire galaxy. The Elders "Morfuidran government" refuse to give up and choose a young man "the hero of the story" to bear the artifacts and fearsome weapons of times long forgotten, to become their Avatar and send him out on a quest to seek help from the Galactic Emperor and the famous mercenary force Nova Burst. Also, the Emperor's daughter Princess Celeste joins in the quest to fight for the freedom of Morfuidra. ”

Coventhrall was formed 2005 by the vocalist Sami Ilvonen and guitarist Toni Bite. They asked the bass player Jukka Hoffrèn and drummer Janne Ojala to join in the band. One year later The EP "Vision Weaver" was released, and it got a warm reception in medias with honest and candid approach to the world of heavy metal. The band was known as Grudge's Claw back then.

After a short creative break the band started the process of creating their debut album and changed their name to the current Coventhrall. The narrator and creator of the story is the vocalist Sami Ilvonen and the music is composed and produced by Toni Bite and Jukka Hoffrèn. The album was recorded and ready for release years ago, but was mystically lost by unknown reason to the earth orbit amongst other space debris. Luckily by some miracle it was rediscovered and finally it’s ready to be released.

Guitar solos are played by Kimmo Korhonen (ex-Waltari). Additionally, there are numerous artists in their own roles as vocalists and keyboard solos. The cover booklet included with the album contains comics in addition to the lyrics and cover artwork for the listener to follow the story allowing them to utilize their visual perception whilst emerging themselves in the sound.
