Traditional heavy metal band Wishing Well from Finland has released a new video off their brand new ‘Playing With Fire‘ album, released in March. This time visual extra boost was given to album’s fastest track, ‘Train Of Thoughts‘, by animated video.

The video was illustrated and animated by Natalia Śmiechowicz, who has made videos for Uriah Heep, Dokken and Motörhead to name but a few. Her inimitable style works very well for music videos, bringing remarkable added value to music.

The video shows the band riding on top of a train through northern lights of Lapland and endless deserts and wastelands, going all the way up to space. Along the ride the old steam locomotive turns into bullet train as the band flies higher and higher, dodging UFOs and killer sharks, finally disappearing into the sun.

“Train is the fastest song we’ve ever done and we’re happy with the way it came out, so we decided we need to support the song with a video that makes people listen to it. We contacted Natalia and she came up with exactly what we were looking for”, says Anssi Korkiakoski, the guitar player of Wishing Well. “It was great fun writing the video because with animation there are no limits whatsoever and Natalia really took us for a great ride in the world of fantasy”, he continued.

This year Wishing Well celebrates their tenth anniversary in the land of rock and roll. Their first album ‘Chasing Rainbows‘ was released in 2016 and since then the band has been constantly active, releasing five well received albums, playing clubs and festivals and touring with bands like Graham Bonnet and Girlschool.

The band celebrated their anniversary by playing an anniversary gig at Bar Loose in Helsinki, on the 24^th of April. Check some pictures from the gig from here. (Live photos by Sari Kossu Koskinen)
