2011, Playing for almost fifty minutes, Arctic Flame show up conspicuous influences of bands like Iron Maiden, Iced Earth (mid of 90s...), but also a bit more progressive combos and expertly mix up American with European Heavy Metal. The best example for the slightly progressive influences is the song ,,Bloodmotor", which will maybe remind some people - just relative to the instrumentals - of Dream Theater. GUARDIAN AT THE GATE has passionate been created for every headbanger, who prefers progressive, but also traditional Metal!
