Ghastly release new song ‘Perdition’
GHASTLY have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Perdition, is taken from the Finnish death metal band’s upcoming new album, Mercurial Passages, which is scheduled to be released later this month.
Speaking about the new song, lyricist Andy Gordon says, “writing the lyrics on this record, I tried to push myself to a sort of liminal state, to blur the line between being awake and asleep. This was also the vibe I got listening to the demo versions of the songs on this album. As a result, this song, like most on this record, is a fairly unfiltered stream of consciousness. Needless to say, there are many ways to look at this song. Partly, it tells about the strong disconnect I feel with the modern way of life. It also borrows elements from a very lucid dream during which I felt actual physical pain but also weirdly felt revitalized unlike after an ordinary night of sleep.”
Songwriter Ian J. D’Waters adds, “musically, Perdition is a song where uncomfortable aggression shakes hands with mental illness in an asylum called your brain. It has twists already presented in our earlier albums, and you can see these twists and turns like a gift to an old friend. In a way it is a classic GHASTLY song that stands in the right place on a surrealistic ride called Mercurial Passages.”

Mercurial Passages is set for release on May 28th via 20 Buck Spin. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
