NORDIC UNION Issue Lyric Video For ‘My Fear And My Faith’ Track
October 7th, 2019

Scandinavian melodic hard rock project Nordic Union have released an official lyric video for the track ‘My Fear And My Faith’, which can be viewed below.

Nordic Union issued second full-length studio album Second Coming on November 9th, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.

Nordic Union is the brainchild of Frontiers president Serafino Perugino, pairing vocalist Ronnie Atkins of Horsens, Denmark-based hard rock / heavy metal ensemble Pretty Maids and Swedish songwriter and producer Erik Martensson of Eclipse and W.E.T. notoriety.

Ronnie Atkins commented: “I feel great about this new album! Whereas the first album was a bit of a ‘pilot project’, since we didn’t really know each other that well, this time it was more of a collaboration since we talked a lot about the direction of the individual songs, as well as me being more involved in the songwriting, though mainly lyrically.

“The first album turned out quite well and I still think it’s a great debut, to be honest. But from when we decided to do a second one, we kind of agreed to not just copy the first album, but without stepping too far away from the original formula and I think we succeeded in that. Second Coming is a bit more mature, so to speak. A bit deeper, melancholic if I may say so, but still with great melodies and hooks! More unified, really and I’m pretty convinced that those who liked the first one will dig this one too.”

Erik Martensson added: “With this album we took the bits and pieces that what we liked on our debut album and used those as a starting point when we started to write. What we aimed for was to create our own sound and identity and I think we achieved that goal. There are Nordic folk music influences, a bit of melancholy, and absolutely packed with melodies. I love how it turned out. Also, Ronnie Atkins is a fantastic singer and it’s truly an honour to have the opportunity to work with him.”

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘My Fear And My Faith’
02. ‘Because Of Us’
03. ‘It Burns’
04. ‘Walk Me Through The Fire’
05. ‘New Life Begins’

07. ‘Breathtaking’
08. ‘Rock’s Still Rolling’
09. ‘Die Together’
10. ‘The Best Thing I Never Had’

Nordic Union’s recording line-up was as follows:

Ronnie Atkins (lead and background vocals, Pretty Maids)
