Die finnischen Symphonic Metaller, die zuletzt vor allem durch ihre ABBA Cover Aufmerksamkeit erregten, stellen ihre neue Single `Temptation’s Gates´ als Video vor. Zugleich präsentieren AMBERIAN DAWN damit ihre neue Sängerin Nicole Willerton sowie den Titelsong ihrer gleichnamigen neuen Silberling, der am 26. Juni auf den Markt kommt, bereits die elfte Studioarbeit des Fünfers.
Tuomas Seppälä über “Temptation’s Gates”:
“This song is pure intensity and relentless aggression from start to finish. It’s short, fast, and straight in your face—no compromises, leaving no room to catch your breath. I remember talking about this back in 2010 with our other founding member, Tommi Kuri (RIP). He told me that I should write a song that would be nothing but relentless energy from beginning to end. This track is the realization of that idea. It fits our new vocalist perfectly and represents our renewed sound in the most honest way possible. The track also features a classic guitar-keyboard solo battle, something that has always been part of our identity. This is the kind of sound and intensity that I know many of our longtime fans have been waiting for.”
Nicole Willerton ergänzt:
“The song ‘Temptation’s Gates’ speaks about facing one’s inner desires and accepting what you truly like and want, acknowledging that these cannot be ignored or avoided. It’s about rebelliously finding liberation through the intense struggle between who you think you should be and who you truly are. I’ve always loved the poems ‘Les Fleurs du mal’ (‘The Flowers of Evil’) by Charles Baudelaire, and they were a major inspiration while writing the lyrics for Temptation’s Gates.”
