The debut album released in 2017 and immediately became a great international success among fans of melodic hard rock. However, disagreements regarding musical directions led lead singer Gabriel Lindmark to leave Wildness in the fall of 2019. The band recruited lead singer Erik Forsberg (ex-Blazon Stone) as their new frontman and lead singer in the spring of 2020. Their follow-up to the debut album was named “Ultimate Demise” and released in late 2020.
Wildness spent the main part of 2021 writing and planning the follow-up to “Ultimate Demise”, and after the band signed a multi-album deal with Frontiers in October 2021, they finally released their third album, titled “Resurrection”.
"Wings Of Fire" kicks-off the new record with a 'punchier' vibe and it's among my personal favorites out of "Avenger". For sure a great apetizzer of what's to follow! "Crucified", "Broken Heart" and "Caught Up In A Moment" are all three great samples of pure Scandi Melodic Rock stuff. Edgy guitars, clever hooks and memorable choruses enough to sing-a-long for days are the ingredients here. "Avenger" is the heaviest song here, so far, while with "I'll Be Over You" the band delivers a very nice and emotional ballad. "Eye Of The Storm" is again a great and edgy melodic hard rock tune that shows the abilities of this band to write solid songs.
All in all, this is a solid release all the way! Some really well-written and catchy as hell tracks that will make you turn up the volume makes WILDNESS's brand new opus, "Avenger", a must add to your collection!
