Finnish melodic death metal band, Horizon Ignited, will release the first album in their new deal with Nuclear Blast Records, entitled Towards The Dying Lands, on July 1.
Today, the Finns deliver their brand new single, "Reveries", including a music video to heat up and celebrate the upcoming next big milestone in their career. The band convince once again with fiery riffs and they show what you can expect in the near future. Stream the single here, and watch the video below.
The band comments on the new single: "'Reveries' is a song about losing all your hope and drowning into despair that you can not escape from. What is it like to lose the grip of yourself and your humanity? How deep are the wounds that grief and loss cut? These core lyrical themes are surrounded by not that typical song for Horizon Ignited. Intro and choruses are massive and melodic giving the listener a spark of hope which is then killed by the heavy verses. The fight between these two main themes of the song creates a fascinating contrast for the lyrics. The music video for the song was filmed during the band's pre-production session for Towards The Dying Lands album at Lammaskallion Audio in Tuusula, Finland. The video is a very raw set of the band performing the song combined with aerial footage from the same day, which turned out to be probably the most beautiful day in fall 2019. The video is edited by the keyboardist Miska Ek and guitarist Johannes Mäkinen. Aggressive, melancholic, and melodic - Reveries."
