Eight long years after the release of their self-titled record, Hellenic heroes** INNERWISH** have returned to reclaim the melodic metal throne with their brand-new album ***Ash Of Eternal Flame,*** which is out now via **Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM)**.

*“Whenever we write music, we just feel free to express ourselves the way our hearts demand at the time. Either it’s an aggressive song, a fast-paced song, a more atmospheric or an epic one, a slower song. All of our music comes straight from the heart, and having six members with different musical backgrounds, it’s a blessing for the final outcome,”* grins drummer **Franki Samoilis**.

All members being involved in the creative process makes ***Ash Of Eternal Flame,*** a record with a diverse range of lyrical themes — spanning social and global issues, personal struggles, mythology, and even fantasy. **INNERWISH** are poised to shine brighter than ever while musically, the album cements their legacy as a formidable force in the melodic metal scene – this time including a cover version for the very first time in the band’s career: **INNERWISH**‘s version of the **BLACKFOOT** song **‘Send Me An Angel’** is part of the physical version of the album.
