When Metal Sucks wrote about the a new Night Flight Orchestra song, they said that no one else was going to write about the band. Wrong! Featuring Soilwork’s Bjorn “Speed” Strid and Arch Enemy’s Sharlee D’Angelo, the band are, as we refer to them here at Metal Insider headquarters, “maximum dadcore.” Owing a debt not to ’80s thrash or hair metal, but commercial rock music from that era like Asia and Journey, the band writes melodic, catchy hard rock. We wrote a bunch about their debut album, and now they’ve got a new album, Skyline Whispers, coming out in June.
While a song was previewed on Danko Jones’ podcast a few weeks ago, the band premiered “Sail On,” the song that leads off their sophomore album, on Swedish site rocknytt.net. It’s a great, solid rock song that sounds like David Coverdale-era Deep Purple. Skyline Whispers will be released on June 9 via Coroner Records. Here’s the track listing:
01. Sail On
