ABBA-Metal pioneers AMBERIAN DAWN just released their third single, the title track “Looking For You”, along with an official video via Napalm Records. In a nutshell, this high voltage fusion perfectly represents the upcoming album and its poetic sound.
The offical video for “Looking For You” aesthetically mirrors the conflict between memories, desires and leaving your ancient life behind. Monumental melodic vocal lines that remind of the Swedish pop giants ABBA pair with strong keyboard-driven, 80’s pop influenced sounds and merge with heavy drums and guitar riffs into an impressive genre-fluid creation. This addictive mix can only be described as follows – Finnish ABBA-Metal at its finest! AMBERIAN DAWN developed their style and spiced it up by entering and creating a new musical universe.
Tuomas states: ”This is the Crown Jewel of the album. This song is exactly what so-called ABBA-Metal is all about. Haunting and dramatic keyboards, strong melodies and tons of vocal tracks. I worked closely with Finnish synthesizer artist Kebu to achieve this wonderful vintage keyboard sound. I let myself go into world of 80’s synthesizer music and then my band mates helped me to arrange the song into an AMBERIAN DAWN- song. “

AMBERIAN DAWN is navigating into a new style, which is even more melodic, keyboard driven and not only a sophisticated symbiosis but yet their own style: “Melodic ABBA-Metal from Finland”.

Travel through time and dance to the rhythm of “The Misfit’s Swing” with the second powerful single from DIABULUS IN MUSICA’s upcoming album, Euphonic Entropy, out on February 14 via Napalm Records!
An anthem for those abandoned and misunderstood, “The Misfit’s Swing” – musically inspired by the swing-fever of the 1930s – takes the listener into the mind of the titular outcast, who rejects the conformist norms and instead attempts to embrace their own uniqueness. Despite the struggles the misfits face every day, they still strive for freedom from compromises and judging glances, aiming at appreciation of these personal differences and realization of self-worth.
This emotional break-through, depicted on both a textual and instrumental level, unfolds as well in the space of the accompanying lyric video. Just as in the case of the dance itself, the audiovisual melodic charm of “The Misfit’s Swing” dwells in the past, with sepia color palettes and vintage interiors. Smoothly referring to the cover and sublime musical atmosphere of the upcoming release, the lyric video is, at the same time, a gift for and a homage to the fans. Not only does it include the footage of them dancing to “The Misfit’s Swing”, but, just as the song itself, it furthermore addresses the reassuring feeling of collectivity among individuals isolated from the outer world.
With their second single, DIABULUS IN MUSICA convince the listeners that their life among other people may resemble a dance in many aspects – and that there is no better way to go through it confidently than to the sounds of “The Misfit’s Swing”.
Singer Zuberoa Aznárez comments: “Here comes “The Misfit’s Swing”, the song for you all, unique people! Who hasn’t felt that they don’t fit in with the rest of society for at least once in their life? Most of us have surely been the object of critics at some point. Sadly, we live in a world where the lack of respect and the fear of other people’s opinions limit us as individuals (personally, artistically…), so… Dance for the time being, to live and let live! Special thanks to all the lovely and brave fans who took part in this lyric video!”

Symphonic metal quartet TEMPERANCE unleashes yet another mind-blowing single “I Am The Fire”, fresh off their upcoming album, Viridian, to be released in just a few days on January 24, 2020! “I Am The Fire” is about finding strength through life’s hardships and that anyone can overcome obstacles put in their way by believing in themselves and find the power within.
The protagonist of the song has been left by someone important to them and strives to get over said person, to rise from the broken shards of their heart and soul, and to become someone new, someone better. While the almost forlorn lyrics may make the listener a little thoughtful, the upbeat nature of the song, with its magnificent riffs and smashing drums, definitely delivers the message and will be stuck in their head all day long!
Marco Pastorino, singer and guitarist, comments: “Our paths have crossed at a lot of places and stories. “I Am the Fire” is about motivation and a trigger that can help us to reach our goals. Through different colors, moods and situations, we can find a light on our journey. As always we blend our three different vocal styles in one of the most melodic tracks from Viridian.
As a side note, we were not particularly thinking of seasonal wildfire or the horrible tragedy that is happening in Australia right now. The word ‘fire’ is recurrently used as an analogy to inner strength, and we believe that we can take it as a call to action for uniting and together, overcoming any obstacles we face individually as well as a society.”

This intoxicating, equally emotional powerful rock ballad and its compelling video draw you deep into the feeling of an incredible live atmosphere. AUDREY HORNE’s impressive performance, enriched with off stage footage intensely satisfies all the listener’s senses.
Due to its musicality and feeling, Thomas Tofthagen’s (ex-Sahg) overwhelming solo and Toschie’s powerful, anthemic sounding voice coalesce with the band into a pure musical indulgence. There’s no way sailing around this song without having shivers running down your spine!
AUDREY HORNE states: ”Sail Away” is our second single from our upcoming live album. It is taken from our third album, AUDREY HORNE, and we are happy to release this, as it is a song we originally planned as a single back then. That never happened, but now it has been given a second chance. POWER(ballad) TO THE PEOPLE!”
