HORIZON IGNITED have announced a new album!

Titled Towards The Dying Lands, the upcoming album from the Finnish melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s After The Storm, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, marking their label debut at new home Nuclear Blast Records.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Reveries.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, “Reveries is a song about losing all your hope and drowning in despair that you can not escape from. What is it like to lose the grip of yourself and your humanity? How deep are the wounds that grief and loss cut? These core lyrical themes are surrounded by an atypical song for HORIZON IGNITED. Intro and choruses are massive and melodic giving the listener a spark of hope which is then killed by the heavy verses. The fight between these two main themes of the song creates a fascinating contrast for the lyrics.

The music video for the song was filmed during the band’s pre production session for Towards The Dying Lands album at Lammaskallion Audio in Tuusula, Finland. The video is a very raw set of the band performing the song, combined with aerial footage from the same day, which turned out to be probably the most beautiful day in autumn 2019. The video was edited by keyboardist Miska Ek and guitarist Johannes Mäkinen. Aggressive, melancholic and melodic – Reveries.”
