Continuing to expand its territory around the globe, today Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) announces the signing of Greek outfit InnerWish today, and to celebrate the event the Hellenes launch their brand new single “Cult of the Blind”.
Watch the lyric video for “Cult of the Blind” below.
InnerWish comments: “We think we can say that InnerWish went thrashy up to a point here! It’s one of our heaviest tracks ever: it features some thrashy riffing and drumming, but it’s yet melodic through the vocals and a combination of influences that actually turned out great… at least for us! The lyrics are about the modern society where social media, ‘influencers’ and the control of media offer a reality far from the actual one. They all create a world where the important has become unimportant and lows of life become number one. As if we were in a cult, deprived of individuality and thought led to destruction”.
Joining the RPM ranks offers the group a wide range of new opportunities and makes them look even more forward to the common future which is up to a promising start with their sixth studio album which is due later this year.
Manolis Tsigos (guitars) states: “Thank you RPM! It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, the beginning of a very beautiful artistic journey full of tales and music”!
“The stars have aligned and RPM will be the beacon of our new and excting adventures”!, adds vocalist Giorgos Eikosipentakis.
RPM managing director Jochen Richert enthuses: “The Eastern European metal scene unlucky flies under radar level every now and then, but it definitely offers some real diamonds, with InnerWish leading the way. That’s why we’re even more proud to welcome the group to the RPM family – to increase their well-earned recognition outside of Greece and to move this wrongly overseen market into the spotlight. ‘Ash of Eternal Flame’ is around the corner, and we’re very curious to present this infectiously melodic opus to the worldwide metal community”.
InnerWish stand for melodic and melancholic heavy metal, played in a powerful and dynamic way. Their story began in Athens in 1995, and in their almost 30 years of existence they didn’t only manage to be one of the most important metal bands from Greece, but also to establish themselves as a much-respected band in the European metal scene.
