Dmitry Wild Ignites a Dark Romance With New Single “Fiery”

Dmitry Wild, a rock musician from Kingston, New York, is turning up the heat with his single “Fiery.” Packed with gritty instrumentation and vintage rock energy, the song explores the mystery of falling in love and the intoxicating emotions that come with it. Blending rock, garage punk, and blues influences, the track marks another chapter in Dmitry Wild's unapologetically unconventional musical journey.

Originally a European immigrant who grew up in Queens, Dmitry Wild has developed an artistic identity shaped by rebellious rock-and-roll, storytelling, and theatrical expression. Following the release of Vintage Tales on Cacophone Records, he continues to embrace the raw, authentic energy that sits at the heart of his sound.

On “Fiery,” Dmitry Wild's distinctive vocals, driving bassline, and gritty instrumentation create an atmosphere reminiscent of a dimly lit underground club or a late-night drive with the music blasting. A darker undertone runs throughout the track, creating a compelling balance between vintage swagger and modern alternative rock.

The release also features “Do Wanna Fight,” an upbeat companion track that examines the challenges of maintaining a relationship. Together, the songs explore two sides of romance: the excitement of discovering love and the effort required to preserve it when disagreements arise.

With upcoming performances in New York City, Kingston, and Troy, Dmitry Wild continues bringing his restless creative energy to the stage, delivering a sound that celebrates individuality, raw emotion, and the enduring spirit of rock-and-roll.

“Fiery” explores falling in love as a mysterious, almost alchemical experience. What inspired you to approach romance from this darker, more mystical perspective rather than through traditional love-song storytelling? Well, it’s the truth: romance is something that has inspired us since the beginning of time, and still continues to be the mystical, almost godly creation that maybe only gods have figured out, and we humans have been chasing since birth. We all wanna be loved and to love, and that’s the secret, but why?

We don’t know, but maybe because it makes us feel warm inside and gives us security; beyond that, there are alchemical processes inside our brain and our hearts and the space around us that are responsible for this ethereal feeling. Even the greatest villains have changed their evil ways; when love is involved, perhaps they turned evil in its absence. Because when one has found love, it is like lighting a fire that keeps burning and burning; all you have to do is keep adding logs to it. 

“Fiery” and “Don't Wanna Fight” explore two different stages of love: finding it and maintaining it. Did you always envision these songs as companion pieces, and what connects them beyond their lyrical themes? Well, I believe they are companions; only they differ in experience a bit :) Fiery came to me one night as something esoteric that I experienced and still experience in my relationship, and perhaps we all have, especially when it’s the first love, but the “Don’t wanna fight” is an observation of what happens to a couple.

Perhaps it’s the life that you always wanted and now that you have it, the fire is still there, but it’s overshadowed by responsibilities and expectations on each other which turn on our egos that look for differences and reasons to hate each other and therefore come the ultimate triumph of the ego and that is to be alone and right, but the true path is to bypass the fighting and disagreeing and go straight to the reason for all, which is making love which is like adding fire to the cauldron where love was created, ha ha now I am getting witchy, in time for Halloween! 

So in this song I am literally trying to get to the same feeling but bypassing the need to prove that I am right, and saying, "I don’t care who is wrong, or who is right, and I don’t wanna fight” and let’s just make love instead. Cause you know, “It always works :)"

Your music draws heavily from vintage rock-and-roll, garage punk, and blues, yet there's a distinctly modern edge to your production. How do you keep those classic influences feeling fresh without losing the rawness that makes them compelling? Good question; you know, I was always leaning more towards thick-sounding productions. It’s about the crossroads of using what I grew up on and what I listen to now. It’s quite a trip. Mixing the old and the new. Also this time, I changed my approach a bit. I really tried to get the drums down in a proper studio, “Basement Floods” with an engineer, Alex Wernquest who turned out to be a pretty good drummer and I had my favorite bassist, Hannah Moorhead and then I did guitars and vocals at home, and then I got Shubham Mondal (who used to work at the biggest Platinum Recording artist studio called The Clubhouse) Sound engineer to help me mix, but things didn’t start cooking until I got Paul Martin (The Vipers) who is renown for his guitar playing in the Vipers and also being an amazing producer who worked with Earl Slick (David Bowie), Grace Jones at the Clubhouse as well.

He really came in and turned the whole production upside down un til we had that nice and thick sound, and he is the master of mixing the vintage with the modern. Although in the Fiery song I had a bit of an issue with the keys I had in a song, so I engaged my Ukrainian friend, Fima Chupakhin, who I heard at Zenon Marko’s New World music parties, and then I asked him to lay down “The Doors” like organ, and he absolutely nailed it on the first take. So we added a bit of 60s to a song written in 2025. :)

You've worked across music, poetry, and acting throughout your career. How have those disciplines shaped your songwriting, especially when developing characters, atmosphere, and emotional tension? Ooof, another great question. I just realized that, at some point, it’s all about the mood: whether it’s an angry song, the mood is anger and frustration, or if it’s a chill, jazzy song, the mood is candlelit, creative, vibrant. Our whole life is the mood; we either create the mood or we bask in someone else’s mood. So as a creative person, I learned to create moods, either with words, music, or acting,  but mood is also one of those mystical qualities of life, where we don’t know why we like something, but we just do, from within.

With Vintage Tales behind you and new music arriving, how does “Fiery” reflect where you're heading creatively? Are there sounds, themes, or unexpected directions you're interested in exploring on your next project?

Yeah, I am trying to be honest with myself about why I am here. My purpose is to inspire others to find their own purpose, so I am exploring more metaphysical and spiritual themes such as the heart, mind, love, soul, Mother Mary, alongside themes such as old trains, leveling with your own devil, and then such sillies, such as pulling an epic all-nighter with friends and just being damn irresponsible and just wanting to play guitar all day. It’s going to be an epic rocking album; obviously, my style is no style or a fusion of all the styles, so no song sounds the same. I am working on a single now, so it should be out early next year.
