[more=Extended info]Avantgarde Music welcomes Dark Sanctuary into the family once again with Iterum, a brand new EP from the French neoclassical ensemble. “After twelve years of silence, we are more than pleased to come back with a brand new EP, Iterum, reviving the melancholy and dark atmospheres that have been our signature since our debut. We are so happy, after all these years, to have been able to revive this alchemy and to present you very soon our new compositions. It’s been a long time and we missed making music together. The idea had crossed our minds several times but maybe the time was not right... We have now decided to go back to work to enjoy ourselves and we hope with all our heart that it will please those who have followed us during all these years”.[/more]

[more=Extended info]When night falls onto the sub-arctic landscapes of the Land of the Thousand Lakes, in the twilight of forest and swamps, the veils between our reality and the otherworld grow thin. It is at those times that stories such as 'the fairy tale that never was' leak into the lyrics and music of TENHI. On their sixth album, "Valkama", which translates as 'harbour' or 'shelter' among other meanings, the Finns originally began telling of a journey that was meant as a fairy tale in a burning, war-torn village and the crossing over dark waters to an island of the dead. The island is called Verisurma ('the place for those who have suffered blood-death') in Finnish folklore, where those dwell that died in war or were killed with a blade, and who shed blood on its shore forever. Yet, during the ten years that TENHI were working on the album, our reality started to bleed into the otherworld with its own terrors and wars. Year after year, the musicians felt their story becoming more and more real until the point was reached that the band decided to change course. Although echoes of the original work are still audible in the final music and visible in the artwork, the album now feels more harmonious and comforting, even brighter. TENHI could hardly have picked a more suitable band-name. This old Finnish word means a person that is an 'elder' or 'shaman'. And while the shamans of the ancient nomadic Finns are the guardians against but also the mediators between their communities and the spirit world, TENHI are their musical equivalent as a liminal force between dark folk, folk rock, and even reaching out into the normally electrified world of metal. The latter invites comparison with WARDRUNA and HEILUNG, although in a spiritual meaning and certainly not by way of a stylistic comparison. TENHI were conceived by guitarist and vocalist Tyko Saarikko in 1996. Ilmari Issakainen joined the band a few years later. Together they form the creative core of the group. After self-releasing the demo "Kertomuksia" (1997) and the MCD "Hallavedet" (1998), the Finns immediately hit a nerve with their debut full-length "Kauan" in 1999. TENHI started into the new millennium with another MCD entitled "Airut:ciwi" (2000), which was followed by a string of albums from "Väre" (2002) via "Maaäet" (2006) and "Airut:aamujen" (2006) to "Saivo" (2011). With each new album, the Finns continued to grow a dedicated following that is coming from different musical directions. From the start, TENHI have combined acoustic instrumentation and a traditional vibe with structures based on contemporary rock music. While their previous full-length "Saivo" tilted more towards an ambient-style and panoramic soundtrack feeling, "Valkama" returns to a more song-oriented approach – even though the tracks retain an epic and meandering format. "Valkama" comes with the trademark Finnish longing and melancholia, but despite its audible darkness, TENHI offer a musical outlet from the horrors of the modern world. In the twilight world of the North, "Valkama" is the silver-lining on the horizon promising shelter and peace.[/more]

Finnish symphonic doom/death metal band DEPRESSED MODE released a new single Dead & Living. This single was suppose to be part of Words of Death EP which was already recorded but was unfortunately destroyed bacause of hardware failure. So, this brand new single and earlier released re-recorded version of Suffer in Darkness are the only tracks survived from the planned EP.

Otto Salonen comments:

“This is a new song which was composed right after our Decade of Silence album. It was quite different from our previous songs, so I was a bit insecure about how it’s going to sound, but after drum recordings by Marko Tommila, I was sure it’s going to be loved by fans worldwide!

Due to hardware failure, this is it for our Words of Death EP. In other words, all the remaining songs were destroyed, and won’t be released.”[/more]

Lyrics by Daniel R. Flys
Music by Jaime Torres, Daniel R. Flys & Daniel Maganto


I’m done
Building statues to deceive my inner child
What I have grown to know is not what I seek

What will I take to the grave if not an array of misbeliefs?
All I have grown to show is not what’s at the core of me

Shed away the skin
Peel back all the layers of uncertainty

Was it my view that changed?
As I made my way through the fog
I could see it as clear as day
A collective vision turned to dust

Shed away the skin
Peel back all the layers of uncertainty
And I look within
A new face emerging back from the ashes

All of my pillars have fallen
But to rebuild I must first be broken

And as I tear myself open
I feel the walls crashing down
How does one detach from this delusion?

I move away from the silence
A new awakening for the dormant mind

The day meets the eye of the wanderer
(Place your freedom inside a broken glass)
As they hunt down the refugee
(Leave your integrity hanging by a thread)
The trails left by an entity
Follow a different form of me

And when I am to follow
The motion of the wind
I will scatter in pieces
A conflict of destiny

I gave my undivided attention
To fulfill this dream
But I realize after all this time
It’s like holding on to smoke

[Solo 1: Jaime Torres]
[Solo 2: Daniel Maganto]

Searching the way to the sea
Seeking the way to inner peace
I’ve been too blind to see[/more]

My consciousness evades me.
Haunted by a vast stillness

Comforting in its familiarity,
Yet disorienting.

Chapped lips part in agony,
As unheard cries escape them,
Deafening the neverending chatter of my mind.

A passageway looms afront

Eyelids flutter shut,
As I lower myself to the cold cement.
Warmth envelopes me,
In its gooey scarlet form.[/more]
