Ukrainian oriental/symphonic metal band Ignea takes listeners into cinematic worlds with the second single, "Dunes", from its upcoming concept album, Dreams Of Lands Unseen, set for release on 28 April via Napalm Records.
With "Dunes", talented storytellers Ignea dive into the sweltering realms of the Sahara desert, as far-eastern melodies merge perfectly with hard-hitting riffs. The idea behind this composition was to compare the Sahara desert with the Carpathian mountains, and so the eastern vibe of the music is paired with traditional Ukrainian melodies and language, which pays tribute to Yablonska's roots and adventures. The rough screams of highly skilled vocalist Helle Bohdanova kick off the track, providing contrast to the song's feathery, dreamy melodies.
Vocalist Helle Bohdanova about "Dunes": "We continue telling the story of the amazing Ukrainian travel writer and photographer Sofia Yablonska who lived in the XX century. 'Dunes' is inspired by her adventure to the Sahara desert. On this dangerous journey, Sofia's driver fainted from the intense heat, so she had to take charge of driving and also fix the overheated engine herself. Their troubles didn't end there, as they also had to escape from hostile locals who tried to shoot them. Our song describes how Sofia saw a mirage, so common in the desert. In our version, instead of imagining palm trees and an oasis, she saw the chilly Carpathian mountains with pine trees and rainfalls...".
