Gaupa release new song ‘Moloken’

GAUPA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Moloken, is taken from the Swedish rock band’s upcoming new album, Myriad, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Emma Näslund says, “Moloken is a Swedish word that according to Google translate means ‘the moloch’. Whether this is true, I can’t tell you. It comes down to the concept of Swedish melancholy – to be downcast or to feel small. This is a highly Swedish thing and I would say it peaks in November when the fire leaves have fallen and the trees are naked, patiently awaiting their winter coat of frost and snow. This is when you really start to feel the darkness. It seeps into every inch of your being. I think this feeling is captured in this song, which is not really a happy go lucky tune. Whether it comes from you, the world, a strung out relationship or just the weather isn’t really important. There is just this feeling. But as soon as the snow sets, the sky lightens and another wave of hope enters.”

Myriad is set for release on November 18th via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
