Ancient Settlers have released an animated lyric video for "Oblivion's Legacy", fourth single and title track of the new album released in May 17 by Scarlet Records.
"Oblivion's Legacy" tells a story of hope and resilience in the face of despair. The authenticity of those who emerge from darkness, arising as legends, embodying the courage to make the changes. The chorus reflects a desire for perseverance, and the need to fight for a better future. The song blends narrative and emotive elements, emphasizing the relentless struggle and ultimate triumph.
The sophomore record of the Venezuelan/Spanish band was produced, mixed and mastered by Fredrick Nordstrom at Studio Fredman; Jon Toussas (Suicidal Angels, Nightrage, W.E.B.) took care of the shining artwork.
Ancient Settlers quickly gained a fierce reputation in the melodic death metal European scene thanks to a relentless live activity, and are now eager to raise the bar with their second studio album.
Guided by the demoniac vocals of frontwoman Argen Death, they master the melodeath subject with absolute confidence through storming heavy riffs, thick grooves and catchy hooks (just like the Swedish godfathers taught us all).
Oblivion's Legacy is a conceptual work that delves into the profound depths of human existence, exploring the legacy we leave behind as individuals and as a species. The lyrics contemplate the impact of our actions, the struggles we face, and the ultimate fate that awaits us all.
Set against a backdrop of cosmic wonder and existential introspection, each song serves as a chapter in the unfolding narrative of humanity's journey through time and space.
Oblivion's Legacy will be released in the following formats:
- jewel case CD
- vinyl LP
- digital
