Norwegian Melodic Metal allstar project NERGARD releases yet another single from the new album “A Bit Closer To Heaven” entitled “I Will Find You”, check it out below.

Comments Andreas Nergard:
“I Will Find You is by far the most personal song I’ve ever written. It is a love song but not in the way that might seem like the obvious one. I Will Find You is about persons close to me that have passed away in different ways at different stages of my life. The lyrics were off course written to fit the story of the album but in overall this song is my way of saying that someday we’ll meet again. The song is carried by the voice of Andi Kravljaca and he did an amazing performance that really hit the nerve of the song with his passionated way of singing. Originally I tried this song with couple of other singers but I’m glad I chose Andi to do the job. He never lets me down and I always know his voice will do the job, especially on the more pop-oriented materiale.”

The new album “A Bit Closer To Heaven” features 8 strong Melodic Metal tracks and a string of well-known guestartists such as Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear, ex Gamma Ray) Nils K. Rue (Pagan’s Mind) Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus) Jorn Viggo Lofstad (Pagan’s Mind) and many more. The album is released through the Australian label Battlegod Productions and is now available through the label website. Signed copies can be ordered by sending an email to nergardmusic@gmail.com

Comments Andreas Nergard:

“I Will Find You” was written couple of years ago in the final days of the Memorial for a Wish session. I decided not to include it on that album because it was not ready both musically and lyrically. It has been through a series of updates before being recorded for the new album.

Originally it was meant for a female singer but in the end I ended up choosing Andi Kravljaca for this one because he has a wide range and sounds very good in the mid-range register which this song is based on.

What I like best with this song is the stripped-down sound, no distored guitars and its very floating atmostphere. It’s a dark lovesong based on the rather dark concept of the previous album Memorial for a Wish and the new one, which is ACT 1 & ACT 2 of a rock opera. This is a song that explores the softer side of the Nergard-project and I’d say it is closer to pop than metal and that was the intention. I wanted this album to be a nice mix of the genres I like the most, pop, rock and metal. There’s some really heavy stuff on it and some very soft stuff as well.”
