Finnish modern metal newcomers Arctis released the third single and video, "Tell Me Why", from their debut self-titled album, which is out now via Napalm Records. Nordic mystique takes a futuristic turn on this pop-infused modern metal debut.
Arctis is more than just a band - it's an otherworldly experience, led by the enigmatic and powerful Ice Queen, Alva. Draped in her shining white battle suit, Alva's ethereal presence transcends the stage, her voice weaving through realms both known and unknown, pulling her followers into a captivating journey. By her side stand the dark-clad warriors: Björn the Captain, whose unshakable command leads the band into uncharted sonic territories; Michael the Magician, a mysterious figure whose fingers conjure sounds that transport audiences across time and space; Mats the Rambler, the wild-hearted spirit who channels untamed energy into every note; and Mika the Sage, whose rhythmic pulse guides Arctis through the mystical realms they explore.
Together, these figures form a force unlike any other - a powerful and dynamic energy that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. On stage, they do not simply perform, they create an experience - one that immerses fans in the Arctis universe, where music, story, and atmosphere collide, leaving a lasting imprint on all who witness their journey. Arctis is not just a sound; it is a feeling, a moment suspended in time, an escape into a world where legends come to life.
