InnerWish announce new album ‘Ash Of Eternal Flame’
INNERWISH have announced a new album!
Titled Ash Of Eternal Flame, the upcoming album from the Greek heavy/power metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s self-titled album, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Reigning Phoenix Music.
The upcoming album was recorded at LoNe and Devasoundz Studios in Athens, Greece under the guidance of producer Fotis Benardo. Mixing and mastering were handled by award-winning engineer Henrik Udd, who has worked with acts like HAMMERFALL, POWERWOLF, and SEPTICFLESH.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, INNERWISH have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Sea Of Lies. The new song features a guest appearance from BLIND GUARDIAN‘s Hansi Kürsch and is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, Cult Of The Blind, which was released last month.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “it wasn’t the ‘Hansi song’ in the beginning but there actually was no way around! And how couldn’t it become that since Hansi Kürsch blessed it with his voice! We love 6/8-time songs, they come totally naturally out of us and this one might be our best one to date! Lyric-wise, it’s about one of our times’ biggest problems: immigration. The story’s told from the perspective of a child, leaving home and warmth for an unknown destination and a probably dark future. The obstacles, the images, the thoughts – they’re all shown through the child’s eyes and mind. Sometimes people overlook this situation perhaps believing that it doesn’t affect them or it’s far from their future. But is it after all? Who’s next in line? Children are the future. They all deserve the world. Nothing less!”
Drummer Franki Samoilis adds, “I’ve been a HUGE BLIND GUARDIAN fan since my teenage years, and so is our singer George. Having Hansi Kürsch lend his voice to one of our songs was a childhood dream come true. Thanks to my best friend, Sakis Fragos from Rock Hard Greece, we were able to make it happen. When Hansi sent us his recordings, it was a surreal moment – I was moved to tears. That voice, that presence…we are beyond honoured to have him on our album.”
