There are plenty of reasons to be happy about the Finnish metal scene this year, as countless bands released their newest sounds to the world, that includes new Amorphis, Stratovarius, Cain's Offering, Children Of Bodom, the new Insomnium/Omnium Gatherum release, and many more. But the river never runs dry, as more bands, including the promising Arion, are writing new material.

After being joined by Cønstantine's vocalist, Lassi Vääränen, Arion can now concentrate on writing new songs for their second full-length.

Guitarist Iivo Kaipainen said: "Hey guys, it has been one year since the release of our debut album Last Of Us. The album got an incredibly great response from both you guys and media and I think it's hardly possible to be more satisfied! Big thanks to you guys! Also, we are currently very close to hitting the studio and recording new songs for the next album. Many songs already sound excellent and our new singer Lassi freakin kicks ass while recording these final demo versions of the songs!"
