(wake up, I need you)

Feel it.
Beyond the clouds.
There is a door.
A dragon in disguise.

Divina
Follow you
So many storms
In so many forms
Divina
Follow you

How she rose to face the crown
As dragons fire rained her down
and how she ran through burning town
To save the sound of those that drowned,

Divina
Follow you
So many storms
In so many forms
Divina
Follow you

[more=Extended info]EQUILIBRIUM are taking us on a journey back to the old school with a track that's been hidden in a bedside drawer for almost 15 years. Buried in dust and old memories, band founder and guitarist René Berthiaume resurrected these fragments of an unfinished track from their early band years and completed the song, before recording it for the very first time with the current band line-up. As perfect anniversary gift to their fans, the track is titled 'XX' in order to celebrate the band's 20-year existence.

Mixed by Robin Leijon and René Berthiaume
Mastered by Dom Crey at Splendid Wave Studios

Ancient notes arise
Crawling back to me
Mesmerize my heart
Let me fly away

20 years of sonic fate
Together we accelerate
With 200 BPM we enter the next decade

Once in a lifetime
Eternalize!
Carve your soul into stone
Once in a lifetime
You'll realize
This is where you belong

Wir fliegen durch die Zeit
Und seh'n Wahrhaftigkeit
Der Ursprung setzt sich fort
Entspringt an jenem Ort

[more=Extended info]Vanir has debuted a new single called “Steel Meets Steel”. It represents the first material to emerge from the Roskilde, Denmark-based, Viking-themed folk metal tribe since their latest full-length offering “Sagas”, which dropped via Mighty Music in 2022.

Steel Meets Steel

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill
Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill

Scatter the remains
Of a land - lost to hate
People fleeing from war
In a land broken and torn

Stand against with your might
Except nothing but a fight
As the fire burns your home
Your bravery shall be known

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight, it's time to kill
In a sea of fire and smoke they stand
Every woman and man

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight, it's time to kill
In a sea of fire and smoke they stand
Every woman and man

Known as free men, their own
Lies fractures the dome
Dreams of peace burns in flames
The place they once called home

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill
Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill

War, brings nothing but death
A song of loss and regret
Blood-debts must be repaid
Nothing but corpses remain

From the ashes they sing
Lullabies for their kin
Of heroes lost in the war
Who fights to settle the score?

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight, it's time to kill
In fire and smoke they stand
Every woman, every man

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight, it's time to kill
In fire and smoke they stand
Every woman, every man

Known as free men, their own
Lies fractures the dome
Dreams of peace burns in flames
The place they once called home

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill
Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill

Known as free men, their own
Lies fractures the dome
Dreams of peace burns in flames
The place they once called home

Raise the flag, upon the hill
It's time to fight and kill[/more]

[more=Extended info]First single taken from "Forsaken Songs", out May 26th 2023 via Ardua Music.
After six years of silence, Italian gothic doom metal cult band The Foreshadowing returns with a new EP entitled "Forsaken Songs". During the pandemic they decided it was time to start again working on new music and restart band activities. They would comment: "Unstable times make turbulent music and we are restarting from here. We have had plenty of time to reorganize things and focus on new tunes. “Memento” is just the first taste of a long list of new material that will come out in 2023. It’s an unreleased song and it was originally planned for “Second World” album. In occasion of its decennial we rearranged and recorded this track for you.

“Memento” is also the first single of a forthcoming special EP named “Forsaken Songs”, that will collect new unreleased material and special tracks from the past. The cover artwork will feature an amazing painting exclusively made for us by the amazing artist (and dear friend) Alfredo “Mojo” Raimondi."

The Foreshadowing are:

Marco I. Benevento: Vocals
Alessandro Pace: Guitars
Francesco Sosto: Keyboards
Giuseppe Orlando: Drums

Bass performed by Silvia Pistolesi

Produced, arranged and performed by The Foreshadowing
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Giuseppe Orlando at Outer Sound Studios, Rome, 2022.

LYRICS

Rain..
the rain before the pain
while gliding on a plane
these memories surfaced

Sound…
the storm before the sound
the fight was all around
and the memories came home

I’m addicted to my past
so I locked the door
all this time I was wrong

And then we smiled
so fake we were
but it doesn't matter to me
so what, let this go

And then we sighed
in our oblivion
I’ll come to terms with myself
tonight and all the time[/more]

[more=Extended info]Finnish melodic metal band Dark The Suns released a new single and music video Raven. The track is featuring Paavo Laapotti (Before The Dawn & Defiled Serenity) on vocals. The track is taken from the upcoming fifth studio album ‘Raven and the Nightsky’ which is released later this year via Inverse Records.

Comments from the band:

Mikko: “‘Raven’ is the 4th single from our upcoming ‘Raven and the Nightsky’ -album. In ‘Raven’ single we have a special guest vocalist, Paavo Laapotti (Before The Dawn and Defiled Serenity). Paavo has an amazing voice and his voice brought really beautiful and melancholic atmosphere for the single! Jani also played acoustic guitar for the song, so we got more good new elements for the song. I’m really proud of the results!”

Inka: “We had talked with Paavo about making a song together, and when one night I played the piano and made the chorus to this song, I immediately thought that this would sound great with Paavo’s vocals. He is super talented and he has such a great voice. The result sounds exactly like what I thought at the time. I thought about the single cover for a long time and made many sketches of ravens and black wings to catch the right feeling; in the end it felt like all the pieces fell into place, melodies and words, Jani’s acoustic guitar, painting, video… this was a really great project with a great team, and I am so happy for the results.”

Paavo: “Making of this song was very easy with seamless teamwork and a great, clear concept. I really like the song and it has the great distinctive sound of Dark The Suns but with a twist. It was an honor to be a part of this release and I think we succeeded in bringing the nordic feel to the listeners around the world.”

Jani: “As [per usual], working with Mikko and Inka was, at the same time, professional and easygoing; it is always a pleasure to spend time with them. The new song, ‘Raven’ is super catchy with beautiful melodies in it, and the vocals by Paavo are outstanding. I was honored to be involved in this one.”[/more]

A decade of gathering strength, growing the hunger, and building determination, and now it is time for our eighth album to see the light of the day and bring the band back on the road.”

Regarding the new song, Before The Dawn states, “Destroyer was the first song written for the new album, and being the spark that ignited the whole writing process it deserves to be the first single as well. The song also reflects really well the rediscovered fire inside the band and our determination and strength we have gathered during the 10 years of hibernation.”[/more]

[more=Extended info]Ever since their inception, the name The Moon And The Nightspirit is metonymic with enchanting and melancholic folk music enhanced by a bewitching pagan aura where threads of ancient mysticism combine with phantasmagoric atmospheres. Now the Hungarian duo, namely multi-instrumentalists Ágnes Tóth and Mihály Szabó, returns with its sixth studio album, "Metanoia".

The group's new work builds on its alluring, fairytale-esque explorations, delivering enveloping songs that are as gentle as they are powerful. Creating otherworldly music built on the backs of multitudes of instruments and the beautiful, ethereal vocals of Tóth, The Moon And The Nightspirit delivers its most impressive music to date and cements its place as frontrunners of the folk / world music landscape. As with previous The Moon And The Nightspirit albums, the lush, delicate artwork created by Tóth provides the perfect visual accompaniment to the duo's sprite fairyworld.

Meaning 'a return to the pristine and pure path of crystalline existence', "Metanoia" is an initiation, a rebirth, an awakening of the higher self, and the rekindling of an inner flame.[/more]

[more=Extended info]Brought to life in 2003, the Hungarian entity known as The Moon And The Nightspirit signifies a unique interpretation of World Music enhanced by a bewitching pagan aura where threads of ancient mysticism combine with dreamy atmospheres. Ágnes, singer and multi-instrumentalist, is also responsible for the paintings which bring to The Moon And The Nightspirit's music a fantasy-setting.

Since their debut "Of Dreams Forgotten And Fables Untold", The Moon And The Nightspirit belong to the most popular proponents between Medieval, Pagan Folk and World Music. With "Holdrejtek" ("lunar sanctuary"), its fifth and arguably strongest album so far, the Hungarian duo makes its debut on Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions. On their latest effort, The Moon And The Nightspirit stay true to their style, which is coined by ethereal vocals, violin, acoustic guitar and percussion, yet appear more mature and diverse than ever in terms of composition and instrumental arrangement. Just like its predecessor "Mohalepte", "Holdrejtek" is much influenced by a deep veneration for and love of nature as far as its concept is concerned, while this time, mastermind Mihaly Szabo approaches the subject in a less romantic and more intellectual way. The lyrics are rife with the philosophical idea of simultaneous oneness and duality of micro- and macrocosm, which is attributed to Hermes Trismegistos and his screed "Tabula Smaragdina".[/more]
