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 a video for "The Grand Inferno", the title track of the band's upcoming album, out October 18 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
Mike Andersson explains, "We wanted to give this song extra attention by choosing it as a single, not just as the title track. The sound is unmistakably Tungsten, yet it's different and more melodic. I really hope our fans and listeners receive this song well and that it surprises them in a positive way."
Nick Johansson continues, “The title track, 'The Grand Inferno', is about the feeling to be unnoticed or ignored for a long time. The song follows a journey of someone who stays in the background, almost invisible. But by the end, they go through a big change and finally come into their own in a powerful way, like an explosion or a burst of flames. It's about how they find their strength and make a strong impact when they finally show who they really are.”
