On this episode Matt has the honor of sitting down with Ingi (lead guitar) and Atli (lead vocals) of the Icelandic power metal band POWER PALADIN to talk about their incredible new album, "Beyond the Reach of Enchantment" (pre-order info below) and the song from 2022 that put them on the map, "Kraven the Hunter".

Of course, since this is an episode of Does This Come in Chromium, the conversation does not stick to just the topics at hand, but also goes into Power Paladin's origins, anti-viking sentiment, how Atli learned to sing (for the record: Matt is still skeptical about this because Atli's too damn good at singing to be so new at it), being a secret Warhammer fan, songwriting inspiration, and ruminations about short people being the best power metal singers (you know it was Matt that brought this up).

The best thing about this conversation is that you'll leave it having met two of the members of your new favorite band - POWER PALADIN!

And never forget - with great power comes great metal!

Power Paladin's new album, "Beyond the Reach of Enchantment" will be released March 27th 2026, by Roar, a division of Reigning Phoenix.
