A couple of days ago, on 16th February, the Ukrainian female fronted oriental metal band Ignea released their first full-length album titled The Sign Of Faith. The LP consists of 10 diverse songs including symphonic elements, clean female vocals and brutal tracks. The majority of the tracks from the album lie within the oriental metal genre in combination with a modern sound and authentic middle-eastern melodies. However, the band doesn't limit itself and has included two symphonic tracks including "Alga", the most popular song from the band so far and "How I Hate The Night" with references from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy'. The video for "Alga" with a full symphonic orchestra of 45 musicians gathered over 1 million views on YouTube in just a year. The album version of the track has been remastered to preserve the sound of The Sign Of Faith.
Recently, the band premiered the lyric video for "Şeytanu Akbar". Despite its provocative title Ignea carries the message of peace. Evgeny Zhytnyuk, composer and author of lyrics states: "What we want to say is that there is no reasonable cause to kill other people, be it regime, faith or moral principles. We mainly speak about islamic terrorism in this song, as one of the social plagues of 21st century, taking lots of innocent lives. However, this applies to every human on Earth, regardless of their religion." Link
