ORION CHILD ARE BACK TO THEIR ROOTS WITH “IHESALDI” FEATURING MIKEL BIZAR

There is a specific kind of truth that can only be told in one’s mother tongue. After the global impact of their 2024 album Aesthesis, Orion Child has decided to go back to the source. Today marks the release of "Ihesaldi", a total reimagining of their track "Runaway," born from a collaboration with the legendary Mikel Bizar (ex-Idi Bihotz).

"Ihesaldi" is far from a simple translation; it is a spiritual recalibration. While the original "Runaway" soared through the band's signature dystopian landscapes, this Basque-language version feels heavier, more grounded, and profoundly intimate. The addition of Mikel Bizar (a voice that carries the history of Basque Heavy Metal in every note) acts as the perfect counterpoint to Orion Child’s signature power and sonic density. Together, they bridge the gap between the genre’s heritage and its cutting-edge future.

The release is visually anchored by an official performance piece where Orion Child and Mikel Bizar breathe life into 'Ihesaldi'. It is an immersive display of grit and authenticity, capturing the very heart of the song’s defiant spirit.

The song tackles the universal transition from vulnerability to strength. It is the story of the sheltered becoming the shield. A poetic defiance against the urge to flee when the shadows grow long.

With this release, Orion Child proves that their universe is not just built on synthesizers and complex scales, but on a deep-rooted sense of identity. "Ihesaldi" serves as a reminder that sometimes, to move forward into the future, you must first speak from the heart of your past.
