Finnish melodic metal band Arion have released a new single and music video, “Into The Fire,” the latest preview of their upcoming fifth studio album and first release cycle with Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
The song follows the recently released single “Hurricane” and features a mix of melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and a guitar solo from guitarist and songwriter Iivo Kaipainen.
Speaking on the track’s meaning, Kaipainen said, “A jump into the unknown may feel scary, yet sometimes there’s no option but to go. If only there was someone to help you make that decision, to take that leap and jump with you: You close your eyes, take their hand and now you feel strong enough. That’s what ‘Into The Fire’ is about.”
Arion have spent the past several years touring across Europe and Japan alongside bands including Dream Theater, Gloryhammer, Battle Beast, Bloodbound, and Sonata Arctica. The group has also collaborated with vocalists such as Elize Ryd, Noora Louhimo, and Melissa Bonny.
The band’s track “At The Break Of Dawn” has surpassed 20 million streams and earned gold certification in Finland. More details on Arion’s upcoming album are expected soon.
