Eight long years after the release of their self-titled record, Hellenic heroes INNERWISH have returned to reclaim the melodic metal throne with their brand-new album Ash Of Eternal Flame, which is out now via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

“Whenever we write music, we just feel free to express ourselves the way our hearts demand at the time. Either it’s an aggressive song, a fast-paced song, a more atmospheric or an epic one, a slower song. All of our music comes straight from the heart, and having six members with different musical backgrounds, it’s a blessing for the final outcome,” grins drummer Franki Samoilis.

All members being involved in the creative process makes Ash Of Eternal Flame, a record with a diverse range of lyrical themes — spanning social and global issues, personal struggles, mythology, and even fantasy. INNERWISH are poised to shine brighter than ever while musically, the album cements their legacy as a formidable force in the melodic metal scene – this time including a cover version for the very first time in the band’s career: INNERWISH‘s version of the BLACKFOOT song ‘Send Me An Angel’ is part of the physical version of the album.
