Burn Down Eden release new music video for ‘The War Within’
BURN DOWN EDEN have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track The War Within, is taken from the German melodic death metal band’s new EP, Dismal, which was released on Friday.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “our new single, The War Within, is about depression and suicide. The lyrics were inspired by the very tragic and shocking death of Trevor Strnad [THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER] back in 2022. I never experienced Trevor looking depressed when I saw them live, so him committing suicide was quite a shock to me and I realized how hard it can be to see how a human being really feels inside. I was diving deeper into this topic and watched one of his last interviews with Metal Injection before his death. There he openly discussed how he felt inside, so a lot of those described feelings you can find within this song.
The riffs and melodies had a similar feel to our previous release Sermonize, just more coherent and taken to the next level. We ultimately decided to break this full-length album into two EPs. The first EP, Dismal, features the more darker and intense songs, as opposed to the next EP, Epiphany, which has more of the grandiose and upbeat tracks. In the end, you’re going to have one mighty, full-length album, Dismal Epiphany.
If you’re listening to them back to back, it feels like one thrilling rollercoaster ride. It’s a cauldron full of technical riffs, neoclassical shredding, exotic scales, clever harmonies, groovy headbangers and lethal high-speed blasts. That’s what BURN DOWN EDEN is all about!
For previous releases, Pether (vocals) wrote lyrics just when inspiration hit him, yet this time it was different. With all the songs written at once by William and Tom (guitars) in their big summer session, there was a pile of eight empty lyric sheets to fill by Pether for Dismal and its upcoming follow up. The clock was ticking very loud, as the studio was booked and the production schedule was tight. Therefore, he started to map out every song in their parts and planned empty arrangement templates. Next step was to brainstorm the themes and allocate them to the songs. From there the songs almost wrote themselves. On Dismal, you’ll find three tales of megalomania and grandeur, one dealing with a musical serial killer and a power ballad about mental health or the lack of it.”
