With their incredible talent for storytelling and already impressive recognition as a band-to-watch, Ukrainian upstarts IGNEA are ready to share their highly-anticipated, thrilling next adventure. Mixing heavy riffs and epic lyricism with symphonic, electronic and multicultural folk elements, the melodic metal five-piece will release their new concept album, Dreams of Lands Unseen, on April 28, 2023 via Napalm Records.
IGNEA continues their sonic sojourn after previously impressing international metal fanbases with tracks like Jinnslammer, Alga and Disenchantment, boasting a noteworthy number of views on YouTube alone and recently receiving honors at the Best Ukrainian Metal Act Awards.
Despite the ongoing brutal war in Ukraine causing immense challenges with their album production, IGNEA were never discouraged while creating the cinematic concept album Dreams of Lands Unseen. They firmly stand strong and proudly present their multifaceted voyage – inviting the listener to follow them into new worlds.
The band’s first single Nomad’s Luck takes listeners on an energetic journey showcasing IGNEA’s talent for story-telling. IGNEA about the song: “Nomad’s Luck is about all the dangers of the road. Traveling on her own to the distant corners of the world, Yablonska could have died multiple times, from poisonous plants and diseases to superstitions and taboos of the natives. She could have settled down but her will for discovering new places overshadowed any risks. In this song, it’s as if Yablonska questions herself, how long she would last this way, ‘pushing nomad’s luck’…”
