Finnish melodic metal force ARION have released a brand new lyric video for ‘From An Empire To A Fall,’ the original third single from their acclaimed new album The Light That Burns The Sky (out now via Reigning Phoenix Music). Set against a cinematic, post-apocalyptic backdrop, the video captures the song’s explosive energy and themes of defiance, struggle, and rebirth.

Guitarist and songwriter Iivo Kaipainen shares: “‘From An Empire To A Fall’ is finally getting a video of its own! This song is about former underdogs feeling empowered and showing their big bad opponent what they’re made of. Fire with fire!”

Watch the video below:

Fuelled by thunderous drumming, searing riffs and a soaring chorus, "From An Empire To A Fall" is one of the standout tracks on The Light That Burns The Sky, a record hailed for its modern melodic metal mastery. Critics have praised the album as “an engaging exploration of the possibilities of contemporary metal”(Chaoszine, FI) and “a next step in the band’s career” (Markus’ Heavy Music Blog, DE). The album features production by Matias Kupiainen (STRATOVARIUS) and mastering by Ermin Hamidovic (ARCHITECTS, PERIPHERY).

About ARION

Formed in 2011, ARION first made a significant mark on the metal scene with their debut album Last Of Us in 2014. Their sophomore effort, “Life Is Not Beautiful,” featuring the breakthrough single "At The Break Of Dawn [feat. Elize Ryd]," solidified their status and earned them major support slots with Finnish bands like BATTLE BEAST, WINTERSUN, and SONATA ARCTICA.

The release of Vultures Die Alone in 2021 during the pandemic propelled their burgeoning career even further, leading to extensive touring in subsequent years. While supporting established metal bands such as GLORYHAMMER and BLOODBOUND, the quintet also performed at a selection of prestigious European festivals and celebrated their US live debut at ProgPower USA in 2022, before closing their “Vultures Die Alone” live chapter supporting prog metal giants DREAM THEATER in 2023.

With their new album The Light That Burns The Sky ready for release and years of touring experience, including many headlining dates in their home country, ARION are poised to extend the reach of their melodic metal legacy worldwide. The group additionally celebrated the album’s launch with a Central European co-headlining tour alongside their label mates BRAINSTORM as well as more Finnish shows with heavyweights SONATA ARCTICA and STRATOVARIUS.
