Finnish modern metal newcomers Arctis released a brand new single, "Bimbo", a cover of Swedish alternative rock band Lambretta's hit single. "Bimbo" has amassed over five million streams to date in its original form. Arctis are set to add to the song's impressive reception with the release of their own rendition alongside a new official music video. The single is taken from the upcoming self-titled debut album, which will be released on 1 November via Napalm Records.
Arctis fuses nature and technology, inspired by Finland's seasonal extremes, capturing the imagination of fans through storytelling that goes beyond the music itself. With their talent, the band will soon head out on a tour with Finnish metal masters Apocalyptica to present their self-titled debut album live on stage - cementing their status as a must-see act. Arctis was produced by Jimmy Westerlund (Sturm und Drang), mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein), and mastered by Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein).
Arctis commented on their new single: "We are thrilled to announce the release of our brand new single, a cover of the 2000s hit 'Bimbo' by Lambretta! This song was a standout track back in the day, and we felt it deserved to be brought back for a new audience to enjoy. By bringing in the intensity of our sound, we've reimagined this track, while keeping its original spirit alive. We can't wait for everyone to hear our take on it and hope it brings the same excitement and nostalgia it gave us. Get ready for an epic journey - our version Bimbo is out now!"
