CEMETERY SKYLINE have released an official video for their song, «Torn Away“from his upcoming album, “Nordic Gothic“, which comes out on October 11th through Century Media Records. Take a look below.
A message says:
«If you’re wondering why we haven’t released a video for ‘Torn Away‘ Still, the answer is: Because we wanted to make sure that all of you, no matter where you live, can experience the vibe of our first show with us! So here’s the music video for the full song, with a sneak peek of three days of rehearsals and backstage fun, as well as impressions of our show, captured by the wonderful Sam Jamsen«.
«Who would have wanted us to form a new extreme metal band? Well, maybe someone would have, but that’s not the case this time, because there’s something a little bit different on the plate…»
The contemplative voice belongs to the extraordinary guitarist Markus Vanhala (Insomnia, Omnium Gatherum). In the new shadow group, CEMETERY SKYLINE, Vanhala is accompanied by the keyboard player Saint Kallio (Amorphis), the drummer Vesa Ranta (Sentenced, The Abbey), the bassist Victor Brandt (Dimmu Borgir and many more) and the singer Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility, The Halo Effect).
“With CEMETERY SKYLINE“We’re heading into previously unknown musical directions, those dark alleys we carry in our hearts but have never wandered down before. And we’re collectively very excited.”
One of the key words, Gothic, has already been mentioned.
«We all share a deep love for 80s and 90s gothic rock, whether it was synth-driven or heavier guitar-driven. You know what happens with the best bands, from The Sisters of Mercy to Type O Negative“, says Saint Kalliowho shares composition duties with Vanhala. «But is it CEMETERY SKYLINE a gothic group? Maybe to a certain extent, but that’s not all. If you have to describe the diverse music of CEMETERY SKYLINE In a way, do us a favor and call us ambassadors of melodic, melancholic and dark rock. Thank you.
