Drawing inspiration from the mythical winters and mystical summers of the North, Arctis from Finland is a multidimensional new-age metal band whose music combines the hooks and nuances of rock and pop with the heavy cornerstones of melodic metal. Arctis’ songs are part of a big story that takes the listener on an epic journey where only imagination is the limit.

The extraordinary band has already accomplished a lot even before the release of their first song – the band already has a record deal with Napalm Records and a European tour on the way with Apocalyptica.

Arctis release ´the debut single “I’ll Give You Hell”. The song is also the first taste of the band’s upcoming debut album.

“We are very excited about this song! It’s our debut song and our first music video. I’ll Give You Hell was also one of the first songs we wrote, so this is a meaningful release for us. We also can’t wait to share more of the fruits of our labor. Stay tuned – this is just the beginning!”, the band comments and continues:

“The lyrics and concepts of the songs Fire and I’ll Give You Hell came about when we designed wild music videos for them. So, in a way, the visual side came first. It was fun creating a song this way. However, the original ideas for the song “I’ll Give You Hell”, just released, did not end up in the final version. Probably better this way…”

Arctis will play their debut gig as support for Apocalyptica on 11.11. in Luxembourg, which starts an 18-show European tour.
