Upon Wings Releases New Single "The Dream"

Symphonic metal act Upon Wings released its debut single "The Dream" today on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Google Music. You can also stream the track below. “The Dream” is the result of a collaboration between classically-trained dramatic mezzo-soprano Anne Erickson and Grammy-nominated producer Glenn Brown (Spinal Tap, The Verve Pipe).

Upon Wings hails from the U.S. and can be described as symphonic metal with a classical influence. After creating the idea for Upon Wings, singer Anne Erickson – who is also a music journalist for Gannett, Gibson Guitar, Loudwire and radio host and managing editor of Audio Ink Radio – entered the studio with Glenn Brown to put the ideas onto tape.

“I’m so excited about the first single from UPON WINGS,” declares Erickson. “It seems this is the right time to share ‘THE DREAM. I’ve been singing classical, musical theater and opera music since I was 4 years old, and that led me on a path to pursue music journalism and rock radio. Now, it feels great to be back on the other side and releasing a song that brings together the classical sounds that I remember from my childhood with elements of symphonic metal. I thank everyone who gives ‘THE DREAM’ a listen!”
