After allowing for a glimpse of the dystopian city where solitude reigns, Cemetery Skyline is offering to explore the capital of "Nordic Gothic" with their newest single, "The Coldest Heart", streaming now here, with a visualizer (created by Metastazis) available below.
Mikael Stanne (vocals) comments about the lyrics: "This song deals with the endless need for validation and misguided desperation. It is based on some dramatic experiences I had in recent times that ended with incarceration. It spells out its darkness in all its loveless splendour."
Markus Vanhala (guitar) further elaborates: "'The Coldest Heart' is one of the very first songs written for Cemetery Skyline and it is an obvious tribute to 'The Green Man', but in a very gentleman way. It is a heavy hitter for a gloomy summer hit in 2024."
Revisit both songs and videos that were previously released:
"In Darkness":
"Violent Storm":
Cemetery Skyline will have their live premier at John Smith Rock Festival in Laukaa, Finland August 18-20, 2024. Stay tuned for more news coming soon.
