Following the recent, previously released single, entitled “Wings of Twilight”, featuring a guest performance of AD INFINITUM singer Melissa Bonny, Finland’s melodic metal frontrunners ARION are now sharing their brand new and powerful track “Wildfire”! 

After skyrocketing out of nowhere to the public eye as teenagers with the Finnish Eurovision qualification program UMK and now three critically acclaimed studio albums under their belt, ARION seem to be gearing up for a new full-length, to be released in the hopefully not so distant future.

Wildfire” was written by ARION guitarist Iivo Kaipainen, and was produced by Matias Kupiainen (Stratovarius). Listen to the song, out now on all digital providers at: https://arion.bfan.link/wildfire

Says livo about the new track: 
 “Wildfire, the first song I wrote for the new album is also one of my favorites from the new album. The frighteningly infectious main riff with an equally catchy chorus, which is what everybody listening to the song points out, are the building blocks for a song that’s as metal as metal can be. Wildfire made its live debut at the world-renowned 70,000 tons of metal cruise proving to be exactly the most fun and the most insane live song we can think of!”

The band’s latest video for “Wings of Twilight” is streaming HERE:

Since their formation in 2011, ARION stood out due to their incredible musicianship and songwriting craft. After their headstart, they released three studio albums which gained impressive streaming numbers and toured with bands like Dream Theater, Gloryhammer, Battle Beast and Sonata Arctica to name just a few. Their latest single releases mark a new chapter in the exciting story of ARION; so better watch out for more news and album details to follow soon!
