Symphonic metallers Tungsten, the quartet consisting of ex-HammerFall drummer Anders Johannson, his sons Karl (bass, keyboards) and Niklas (guitars), and singer Mike Andersson, have released the new single, "Lullaby", lifted from the band's upcoming album, The Grand Inferno, out October 18 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
A message states: "It's about a mother who sacrifices her own child to a herd of unknowing beings to stay forever young but, her story takes a dark turn as the child returns from the grave and brings its revenge for the things she had done to him as the lullaby she sang for her child is sung forevermore by the child."
"The place we rented to film the band scenes for the music video was very strange and spooky. Small trees and bushes were growing on the third floor in a big warehouse room….green moss covered the ground…overall a fun but, kinda nasty experience."

The upcoming self-produced 11-song offering emerges as a testament to Tungsten's relentless pursuit of sonic excellence. With a rich tapestry of heavy riffs and captivating melodies, the album showcases the band's dynamic range and songwriting prowess.
