Vietnamese Prog Metalcore outfit Windrunner unveil double music videos for both "Mulan" & "Oleander"31/5/2019  Vietnamese progressive metalcore act Windrunner have just dropped a double music video for the tracks "Mulan" and "Oleander." The songs were included on their most recent and critically acclaimed LP titled 'MAI'. Click here to watch the new music video for "Mulan" and "Oleander" on Dreambound Demonstrating the band's ability to fuse crushing djent and melodic metalcore, both "Mulan" and "Oleander" are absolute bangers with an equal 'go crazy in the moshpit' to 'sing along during the chorus' appeal. As the rhythm section builds up a ferocious metallic storm, vocalist Duong Bui breaks through the clouds harnessing both brutal screams and lush cleans. This music video captures the raw and energetic performance by the act. Windrunner is a progressive metalcore quintet hailing from Hanoi, Vietnam. Founded in early 2015 from the merger of two renowned Vietnamese metalcore bands: Epione and Alive In Sight, Windrunner quickly made a name for themselves with their unique blend of rhythm and melodies, groovy yet intricate riffs, soothing ambience, melodic guitar lines, coupled with catchy vocal choruses from female vocalist Duong Bui. Their debut EP “Vui” was released in June 2015 and received positive acclaims from around the world. Since then, Windrunner has actively toured around Vietnam, South East Asia and South Korea, supporting bands such as Attila, Secrets, Benighted, Hiss From The Moat, Coldburn, King Ly Chee, Born From Pain, Earthists, and many others. Most recently, they served as the opener for Emmure. Listen and Download 'MAI' Now on All Streaming Platforms Here Follow WINDRUNNER on Facebook

 The day has arrived, and Windrunner are ecstatic to finally give to the world their latest effort, 'MAI' It's been three long years since the quintet debuted on the Vietnamese and the world scene with their first ever EP, "VUI", and after some time off to write, refine their sound, and tour, the metallers are back in full force, with an astounding debut that's been slowly but surely climbing the charts. Gaining comparisons to bigger bands such as Jinjer (thanks to female powerhouse Duong taking the lead in the vocal department), Architects, and Erra, Windrunner don't leave much to the imagination and rather make sure to hook listeners in right from the get-go. While it might be a little last minute to add another album of the year contender to the list, the group's music will speak for itself and demand a spot on playlists, radio stations, and phones of fans alike. Guitarist Trung wanted to share some thoughts on the album and the journey the band has undertaken: "It has been an incredible journey to get to this point. This is something all of us have always dreamed of, and today it comes true. We feel incredibly lucky to have received so much support along the way and we can't be more grateful for each and every person's support throughout the years. Thanks to the amazing team at Famined Records for believing in us and working day and night to help us put out this release. We have poured our hearts and soul into this album and we hope you feel that too." The album is now available worldwide for purchase or stream and bundles will still be up for a limited time, so get yours here.

Follow WINDRUNNER on Facebook  Once again it's release day for the Progressive Metalcore outfit Windrunner, who have teamed up with Dreambound to premiere the music video for their latest effort, "Sakura". The female-fronted Vietnamese band is joined in the video by Sang Yul Song, vocalist for the South Korean band End These Days, whose screams perfectly compliment clean vocalist and front-woman Duong's in this aggressive, energetic and yet still melodic single. While Windrunner strive to create new, unique and introspective music that doesn't resemble anyone else's, a few comparisons might come to mind: if you're a fan of Erra or Invent Animate, you will surely find something to sink your teeth into. From the groove these guys bring to the table, to the fantastic cleans that could rival some pop stars', Windrunner are here to make a statement and an impression. We've asked the band to shed some light on the track and what it means to them:- "Sakura portrays the complex feelings one might experience when you put a lot of trust in the people who are dear to you, yet you don't get the same in return. It can turn into disappointment, anger, sadness and overall just bring a negative energy into your life. However, it is important to realize and respect the difference between each individual, rather than forcing our expectations onto others. It is okay to feel all these emotions, and sometimes it hurts, but after all of that, it is important to keep a clear head, embrace the good times, and continue to pursue what you believe in." You can pre-order or pre-save the band's debut full length, due out November 30th, now, and get all the singles as gratification tracks right away.
