In March 2010, shortly after its establishment, Wind Rose disseminated a compact disc entitled “Demo 2010,” which was produced by Cristiano Bertocchi. On 28 August 2012, the ensemble released its inaugural full-length album, “Shadows Over Lothadruin,” through Bakerteam Records, a subsidiary of Scarlet Records.
Between 2013 and 2014, Wind Rose engaged in a series of promotional live performances across Europe, providing direct support for notable acts such as Wintersun, Finntroll, and Epica. In 2014, Cristiano Bertocchi became a member of the band, assuming the role of bassist prior to the recording of their second full-length album.
In February 2015, the band participated in Eluveitie‘s Origins European tour, culminating in the release of their second studio album, “Wardens of the West Wind,” by Scarlet Records.
In October, Wind Rose served as the supporting act for Ensiferum’s performances in Spain during their One Man Army European tour. Following these engagements, the band dedicated the entirety of 2016 to the composition of new material.
In 2017, Wind Rose entered into a contractual agreement with Inner Wound Recordings for the release of their third album, titled Stonehymn. This album was launched in May, and the initial music video released was “The Wolves’ Call,” succeeded by “To Erebor,” both of which significantly enhanced the band’s visibility, garnering millions of views on Facebook and YouTube.
Subsequently, Wind Rose received invitations to participate in prominent metal festivals, including Bloodstock in the United Kingdom and Masters of Rock in the Czech Republic.
