“For fans of classic metal, I think ‘Wild Nights’ is a taste of what’s to come on the album. It’s a full-throttle journey that blends the spirit of old-school anthems with a modern edge. We’ve got face-melting riffs, soaring vocals, and catchy choruses that’ll stick in your head long after the last note fades. Honestly, I can’t wait to release it to the world and see how fans react. I think it’ll be a headbanging good time for anyone who craves a fresh take on classic metal.”

Venezuela’s Lyonen is a full-throttle journey that blends the spirit of old-school anthems with a modern edge. With their latest single “Wild Nights” They reinvigorate the classic metal sound with a modern twist. The single delivers face-melting riffs, soaring vocals, and catchy choruses that will stick in your head long after the last note fades. With an album in the future planned, the band shares what listeners can expect:
“This album is a sonic middle finger to the mundane, an anthem for the misfits and the dreamers, a soundtrack to the unforgettable nights that become the stories we tell for years to come. This is more than just music – it’s a feeling. It’s the feeling of belonging, of letting loose, and of screaming your heart out with your closest companions under a sky full of stars. This is Wild Nights.”
This single marks a significant evolution in Lyonen’s sound, with the band pushing the boundaries of traditional metal to create something fresh and exhilarating. Guitar tuning has been dropped to a low C for a heavier bottom end, while the drumming style has been completely revamped to lay a more aggressive foundation. Combined with a new edge to the vocals, the result is a sound that’s both familiar and thrilling, injecting the classic metal spirit with a modern dose of adrenaline.
*For fans of Helloween, Primal Fear, (early) Rainbow, Iron Maiden
About The Single Artwork:
As a total metalhead who lives for concerts, I catch every show I can. “Wild Nights” captures that electric feeling perfectly. The artwork explodes with energy, just like a killer live performance. A giant fiery skull, a true metal symbol, rages in the background. It’s the peak of the concert – pure sonic power that unites the crowd, like a powerful melodic chorus where everyone sings along. In the front, a lone figure dives into the moshpit, silhouetted against the flames. It’s all about freedom, and exhilaration – a visual anthem celebrating the intense, unifying power of heavy metal. This is the kind of experience that keeps me chasing the next concert – pure metal magic!
