Melodic ABBA-Metal from Finland – A poetic sound rises with AMBERIAN DAWN
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.”

melodies and epic keyboard parts that immediately send shivers down your spine.

With their musical style changing from power metal to symphonic metal over the last few years, AMBERIAN DAWN are now navigating into yet another new style, which is even more melodic, keyboard driven and influenced by the Swedish band ABBA.
