Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA (featuring members of SOILWORK and ARCH ENEMY) have released their critically acclaimed new album, »Amber Galactic«, today.
In celebration of the eagerly awaited album, the band teamed up with LOUDWIRE.COM to premiere the official music video for the song 'Something Mysterious'. Surf to http://loudwire.com/the-night-flight-orchestra-something-mysterious-exclusive-video-premiere/ to view the 80ies VHS styled video.
Commented the band: "Almost everyone, no matter who they are, have experienced one, or perhaps even a few, epic nights in their lives. That night when you met the love of your life, and you couldn’t go to sleep because your heart was beating too fast out of pure excitement and joy. That night when you lost the love of your life. The night when you thought that no matter what happens next, I’ll remember this night for the rest of my life. Something Mysterious is a song about standing at that crossroads, gathering the courage to take that plunge into the unknown, knowing your life will never be the same again."
The record was awarded as "album of the month" in various renowned European music magazines such as ROCK HARD (Germany), ROCK HARD (France), SWEDEN ROCK MAGAZINE (Sweden), POWERMETAL.DE (Germany), UNITED ROCK NATIONS (France).
The album also reached high soundcheck positions in other magazines:
- METAL HAMMER (Germany): #2
- DEAF FOREVER (Germany): #3
- AARDSCHOK (Netherlands): #3
