Highland Glory – тема
Highland Glory is a Norwegian power metal band, founded in the spring of 2001 by members of Phoenix Rizing. After releasing two albums worldwide, Rise from the Ashes and Eternal Crusade, the band had changed their singer and formed Highland Glory.
With a fresh new start and an increased potential, the band developed their style of melodic metal in a heavier and more traditional direction on the debut album, From the Cradle to the Brave. The artwork was created by Mark Wilkinson, who has worked for the band ever since. Still signed to Face Front for Scandinavia, but the debut-album was licensed to Massacre Records for the rest of the world. The follow-up “Forever Endeavour” took the different aspects of the band's sound even further, showing a natural, yet darker and more atmospheric progression. In the autumn of 2007 singer Jan Thore Grefstad left the band, and was replaced by Trine Elise Johansen in the winter of 2008. The change from a male to a female singer naturally affected the band's sound, but the trademark still proved to be intact on the album "Twist of Faith", yet the band had developed in a more mid-tempo and even more melodic direction.
