Finnish modern metal band Arctis will release its self-titled debut album on Nov. 1, 2024, via Napalm Records. The first single and the band’s first-ever official music video, “I’ll Give You Hell,” is out now. Pre-order the album here.
Arctis fuses nature and technology, inspired by Finland’s seasonal extremes, incorporating storytelling that goes beyond the music itself. Led by Alva, the eternal Ice Queen Rebel Leader , the band is rounded out by Björn the Captain, Michael the Magician, Mats the Rambler and Mika the Sage.
“We’re excited to drop our debut track and music video, ‘I’ll Give You Hell,’ a powerful anthem that was one of the first songs we ever wrote,” the band said. “This release marks the start of something big, and we can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been working on. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning!”
The album was produced by Jimmy Westerlund (Sturm und Drang), mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein) and mastered by Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein).
“The moment we’ve been dreaming of is finally here, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all!” the band said. “It’s been a long road, filled with hard work, late nights and an unbreakable passion for music, but we’re thrilled to announce that our first single is out, our debut album is on the way, and we’re hitting the road for our first tour!
“Now, we’re ready to take on the world, bring our music to life on stage, and connect with each and every one of you. This is just the beginning, and we’re so happy to have you with us as we start this next chapter.
“Get ready, because we’re coming in full force—and we can’t wait to see you on the road!”
