IGNITION says about it: “We are particularly proud of ‘A New Dawn’ as it is the first power ballad to make it onto an IGNITION album and at the same time forms the epic climax of the third part of the Viking saga that began on the first album ‘Guided By The Waves’! Lyrically, it’s about the incessant battle against all outside opposition and realising that you can never rest and must stay focused to achieve your goals. In a figurative sense, this song also symbolises our motto as a band to ignore all genre conventions and ‘gatekeepers’ who constantly want to tell you what ‘true Metal’ should be like. We prefer to consistently go our own way. The whole thing is wrapped up in the story of the Viking brothers, who avenge their murdered father and take to the field against the opportunistic aristocratic enemies – always knowing that every battle will end with ‘A New Dawn’ and that it is up to them or us how it ultimately turns out.”
IGNITION, that is classic fuel in the proven US POWER METAL style from the heart of the German Ruhr area, the origin of famous acts like Sodom, Kreator etc.
The quintet around singer Dennis Marschallik, the two guitarists Sebastian Ernst and Christian Bruckschen as well as bassist Andreas Leyer and the new drummer Lukas Leuuw convinces since 2014 with a rough and straight sound, forged from the finest steel, which is skillfully refined with influences from traditional and modern Metal.
