Take a look at the album cover of the upcoming WILDNESS new album ”Ultimate Demise”… kinda ’80s, isn’t it?. And yes, the music delivered by these Scandinavians is absolutely Eighties Melodic Hard Rock / AOR inspired ranging from soaring melodies to catchy choruses.
In 2019 singer Gabriel Lindmark left WILDNESS but the band soon find Erik Forsberg (ex-Blazon Stone) as their new frontman in the spring of 2020. And the guy has the pipes…
”Ultimate Demise” is impeccably arranged and performed with that atmosphere to satisfy any melodic rock fan. It combines the best of the Scandinavian melodic rock scene from the modern era with the past.
Out on AOR Heaven Records tomorrow, and a HIGHLY Recommended purchase.

Excellent German label AOR Heaven will release the self-titled debut album by Swedish Melodic Rock group WILDNESS on November 24, one of the best ‘newcomer’ acts of the year. Formed by drummer and songwriter Erik Modin in 2013, WILDNESS independently released their self-produced debut single ‘Collide’ (featured here in one of our Advanced Singles Sampler) which immediately gained a lot of spins at various digital platforms such as a number of online radio stations focused on AOR and Melodic Rock.
Mixing muscular (yet extremely polished) riffs and melody galore, Wildness’s debut album is a really, really strong first effort, a bright slice of classic AOR-tuned melodic hard rock with an edge. Listening to the album, a typical Scandinavian feel come from the speakers (namely Erik Mårtensson’s ECLIPSE), punchy and melodious at the same time…
