The genre-merging Finnish symphonic metal masters Amberian Dawn emerges again with a brand new offering, bringing world-famous songs by the legendary ABBA into the metal world. The cover album Take A Chance – A Metal Tribute To ABBA will be released on the 2nd of December via Napalm Records. Following their passion, this album pays tribute to one of their biggest inspirations and ushers in the dawn of an entirely new spin on the metal genre.
As a first taste of what can be expected, Amberian Dawn have released the first single from the album, entitled "SOS", plus a new lyric video. This inarguable evergreen metal unit has skillfully re-imagined and implements their own characteristic sound - showing its full range with trademark ABBA-flavored keys, renowned lyrics and a guitar-driven sound to create a unique experience.
Tuomas Seppälä on the new single: "'SOS' is a great song. It's both a happy and sad song at the same time. The original version uses a unique piano sound. I didn't want to use that kind of piano sound myself, because it wouldn't have been as good as the original, so instead of that, I used more powerful guitars and other synthesizers in our arrangement. Our version of the song really brings ABBA into the world of metal in the 21st century."
Continuing their legacy from the previous album, Looking For You (2020), Amberian Dawn have assembled to follow their passion and take a chance at being the dawn of a new era for the metal genre with Take A Chance – A Metal Tribute To ABBA. Introducing ABBA-Metal, the band does not shy away from experimenting with genres while still staying true to their metal origins. Earworms combined with characteristic Amberian Dawn elements truly metallicize the ABBA legacy and transform it into a metal experience like never heard before. Link
