Helsinki’s very own hard rocking quintet Wishing Well have today released a brand new “Valley Of Darkness”single off their new Playing With Fire album, out on March 13th. The song is a fast and furious opening track off their new album and a perfect example of classic Wishing Well sound, featuring Hammond organ, melodic guitar solos and strong vocals with haunting lyrics.
The song is released together with an effective black and white video, that greatly supports the song’s cinematic atmosphere. “Valley Of Darkness” was written by Anssi Korkiakoski, the guitarist of Wishing Well. The song and the album were recorded in Magnusborg studios in Porvoo by Marko Kataja. The music video was filmed and edited by Jussi Koskinen.
