To listen to their voices that echoes through time. To never forget. It’s about letting life go and death come. We will ring the bells, we will mourn, and eventually we will follow. To make a video clip for such a somber and serious song, we could think of no other way than filming our yearly visit to Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm where most of our relatives and friends rest. The video led us to Quorthon and L.G. Petrov’s final resting place, among others.

Finnish Black Metallers MORMÂNT DE SNAGOV have just released their new single ‘Themis Supreme’ over here. Here’s what the band had to say about it: “‘Themis Supreme’ represents the more aggressive side of our new album. The idea for this song was based on the verse drum beat which is very much different than the basic blastbeat one might expect. P. Jokela somehow magically created this beat combining perfectly aggression and speed with progressive elements. The chorus of this song is more death metallish, creating a very cool contrast with the furious verse. The lyrics are based on a specific book trilogy, which is pretty obvious to those who’ve read it. However, the lyrics are not just storytelling, but as always, we tried to bring up some thoughts about us humans as species.” MORMÂNT DE SNAGOV’s upcoming album “Exquisite Aspects Of Wrath” will be released via Pest Records on March 04, 2022.

Finnish blackened Death Metallers PROGENY OF SUN have just released a video for the song ‘Worthless’ at this location. The band commented on it as follows: “The other day, while jamming together, Juha and Joni suddenly came up with a frame of a new song. Jaakko listened to the demo and had to impose his own vision in order to take the credit of the whole song. During composing Jaakko managed to combine two separate ideas that weren’t originally meant to go together. These ideas merged as one, forming what came out to be perhaps the juiciest track so far. Eventually, after “slight” pressuring, Niko made the vocals and struck gold with them. Even Tuomo was given an opportunity to recompose one part of the bass lines.” All further PROGENY OF SUN info is available at www.facebook.com/progenyofsun

Vocalist / guitarist Tim Swisher commented on it as follows: “As much as we may not intentionally wanted it to, I feel the writing process became influenced by the current times and state of things, evident in the title track and first single ‘Fear Comes Knocking’. This album feels a bit heavier, maybe even darker in sound and mood on some tracks. The lyrical content touches on subjects of fear, anger, betrayal, religion and overcoming certain emotions. It continues to expand in the direction we are headed in musically, without deviating too much from our roots in Thrash Metal.” For regular updates you can follow EYES OF THE LIVING at www.facebook.com/eyesoftheliving
