Welcome to the online home of ArcticFlame

Fire, the passion and belief in one's music and one's self. Ice, the ability to ignore all who criticize or think they know what's best and continue doing what you believe in. These are just two of the qualities found in heavy metal's newest member, ArcticFlame. In a world where everyone follows the flavor of the month, AF sticks to their guns and creates music they grew up on and continue to enjoy.

As you may have seen, there's not too many shows in the bands near future. The lads are hard at work writing for the 3rd album. Two new songs are complete, "The Creeper" with music by Sebastian Garcia and lyrics by Mike Paradine and "Wages of War" with music by Jon Norberg, lyrics by Mike Paradine and the melody lines shared by Dave Lowe and Mike. Also in the mix is a compostion by Rod Mariani (fast tempo), a song shared by Sebastian and Jon (a Deep Purple feel), plus another by Sebastain with Mike figuring out lyrics (Motorhead's "Sacrifice" first comes to mind). The band will also be re-doing the Balistik Kick tune "Warhead" (as suggested by Dave). As for "The Salem Witch" EP, Dave has been working on the melody line for the song, "Thoughts of Yesterday, Actions of Today" which the music is also written by Jon with Mike writing the lyrics and story. "Jon has written 3 of 4 songs that will appear on the EP. He has a progressive nature to his song writing and I think that fits best for this concept. Sebastian has written the other one, which will probably be the instrumental. Dave is left with the task of writing most of the melodies since I did the lyrics and always want our work to be a band effort," stated drummer, Mike Paradine. These songs have taken up all their rehearsal time with other ideas coming in between. The band will not be soliciting shows but will consider any that come their way..... to the bar!!!!
