After weeks of teasers and speculation retro hair metal heroes Reckless Love have finally released the video for new single Night On Fire.
The flamboyant Finns have been busily putting the finishing touches to their latest magnum opus – due for release later this year.
And the boys are poised to announce a full UK headline tour for autumn after setting the seal on another summer of festival mayhem.
Frontman Olli Herman said: “Night On Fire is the pure essence of Reckless Love – a deceitfully catchy tune with an awesome, big singalong chorus and a fierce guitar solo.
“It embodies all of our biggest 80s influences from Kiss and Van Halen to Def Leppard and Europe.
“Night On Fire also has this exotic Shakira-esque groove to it, which will make you dance or, if dancing ain’t your cup of tea, nod your head until you break your neck!”
The video for Night On Fire was shot over consecutive nights in the Canary Islands following a full week in Las Palmas, ‘lazing around, taking it easy, enjoying cold beer and hot weather’ according to Herman.
Production credits include award-winning film director Marko Mäkilaakso (known for both his music videos and his feature-length films including Deadly Descent and War Of The Dead), cinematographer Juge Heikkilä, and producer Teemu Virta for Twisted Films Inc.
Herman added: “We all have active and vivid imaginations but we wanted to keep things pretty simple for the video.
“We’re portrayed as a demonic product of Baron Samedi, a spirit god of Haitian Voodoo. This is the ‘dark side’ of Reckless Love… hahaha!”
