The cover artwork for Finnish "fantasy metal" band BATTLELORE's forthcoming fifth album, titled "The Last Alliance", can be viewed below. Due this fall via Napalm Records, the CD was recorded at Sound Supreme Studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland, with producer Janne Saksa and was mixed and mastered by the Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, ex-BLOODBATH). Songtitles set to appear on the album include "The Last Alliance", "Exile The Daystar", "Daughter Of The Sun", "Third Immortal" and "Voice Of The Fallen". The limited edition version of the album will include a bonus DVD that will contain the band's performance at the Metal Female Voices Fest 2007.

BATTLELORE is currently utilizing the services of drummer Enrico Annus (ELDERTHRONES, KHERT-NETER) for its live dates because the group's regular skinsman, Henri Vahvanen, "is on vacation and [isn't] able to play all of BATTLELORE's shows this summer," according to a posting on the band's web site.

BATTLELORE released its fourth CD, "Evernight", in North America on March 13, 2007 via Napalm Records.
