MARIANAS REST Release Music Video For "The Weight"

Finnish melodic death/doom metal strikers, Marianas Rest, have released a deeply haunting yet marvellous new music video for their captivating song, "The Weight". The head-swinging doom induced track is cut from the band’s latest full-length, Fata Morgana, released in March 2021.

Lose yourself in this overwhelmingly evocative nine-minute epos, characterized by addicting guitar tones, a hypnotizing soundscape and the soul-gripping growls of vocalist Jaakko Mäntymaa. With incredible northern woodland scenography and spine-chilling choreography, the visually sophisticated music video for “The Weight” impressively underlines the creative vision of Marianas Rest once more.

Says the band: "'The Weight' is a journey through pressure. A desperate try to lift the world off your shoulders and search for something better. It's ugliness with a tiny glimpse of something beautiful."

Fata Morgana marks the final chapter of a trilogy that began when Marianas Rest released their first full-length, 2016’s Horror Vacui, followed by the critically acclaimed full-length Ruins (2019). The series encompasses themes of isolation, eventual mental collapse and emergence from that woeful state, respectively - however, the band invites fans to experience the concept from their own perspectives.

The eight-song epos delivers atmospheric melodies that are as endless and fascinating as the overwhelming beauty of Finnish nature, which tracks like the expressive “The Weight” or authentic “Pointless Tale” are evidence of. Topped by guest appearances of Timo Virkkala, who shares his awesome cello magic, and the bewitching backing vocals of Lindsay Matheson/Schoolcraft (ex-Cradle Of Filth), Marianas Rest take their creative output to the next level and make Fata Morgana a must-have for fans of bands like Insomnium and My Dying Bride.
