DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED droppen neue Single In Evil, Sickness and in Grief

Nach 23 Jahren Stille feiern die finnischen Kult-Black-Metaller und Pioniere der Szene DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED ihr lang ersehntes Comeback mit einem neuen Full-Length-Album, Angel of Carnage Unleashed, das am 12. November 2021 enthüllt wird. Das Album setzt eine einzigartige Mischung aus brutalem, schnell getriebenem Black Metal und epischen Hymnen frei, in der unheimliche Schreie mit heroischen klaren Vocals, monumentalen Chören und majestätischen Keyboards zusammen mit blutigen Geschichten über Hunger, Krieg, Pest und die unentrinnbare Brutalität der finnischen Natur in der Zeit des Großen Nordischen Krieges (1700-1721).

DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED on the first single:
“In Evil, Sickness and in Grief” is our first new release since 1998. For the comeback after 23 years of silence, we chose a song that showcases everything that the band is about: murderous blastbeats, catchy riffs spiced with haunting melodies, vicious screams contrasted by clean vocals and choirs, majestic keyboards and eerily beautiful female vocals layers. These ingredients provide the musical canvas for a lyric that features a dialogue between a peasant soldier forcibly drafted to the Swedish army and the Slaughter’s Holy Angel of War, who demands such horrific deeds from the soldier that he ends up with a shredded soul.”
