Season’s greetings! With another year almost done and gone, it’s time to stop and see what was and will be…

For us in Arched Fire, 2022 was all about making our second album Trust Betrayal. Writing, recording and producing ten new songs was lots of fun and work. We’re really happy with the results – for us, it’s next level stuff!

Again, we worked with Teemu Liekkala, who this time around turned out to be a great photographer as well. The new band photos are all his.

The first single ”Fear”/”Trigger” is out there already, and the ”Fear” video was made by the talented J. Hevander. By our modest UG standards, the song streams better than the first album tracks, and the response has been great – see some of the news article links below from all over the world.

Inferno, Metalliluola & Metal Shock Finland (Finland), Bravewords & V13 (Canada), Heavy Metal Webzine & Loud And Proud & Suoni Distorti (Italy), Metal Storm (Estonia), Obliveon ( Germany), Paranoid & Rockline (Slovenia), Helldiest (Belgium), Metal Trip & Metalegun (Spain), Rockposer (UK), Loud Enough, Toxic Metal Zine, Papy Jeff Metal, El Templario Del Metal… and lots more, not to mention the metal media that only operates in social media! Kiitos, everyone! Out of control exposure!

And what’s next? The album cover art should be ready any day now. The follow-up single is out in late January, and then it’s album time!

Happy New Year!
