Jonathan Hultén releases new music video for ‘The Mountain’

Jonathan Hultén has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Mountain, is taken from the TRIBULATION guitarist’s upcoming debut solo album Chants From Another Place which is scheduled to be released in March.

The song is a potent yet minimalistic ode to loss and hope. Telling a tale of soul in distress, goes forth on a journey and faces death, transformation and rebirth is accompanied by a stunningly emotive animated video, created by Hultén himself, taking visual influence from the likes of Tolkien, Tove Jansson and art nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley.

Speaking about the song, Hultén says, “it’s one of those songs where my fascination for the simplicity of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon is coming through, paired with my predilection for the harmony works that Kraja executes so brilliantly on Hur Långt Som Helst.”

To promote his upcoming solo album, Hultén will hit the road throughout March supporting Chelsea Wolfe on her acoustic European and UK tour. Speaking about the tour, he says, “the live show is focused on reproducing the mystical state of mind in which the songs themselves were created. Incense and lights that follow the music are the keys and draws you into the tranquil yet sometimes dramatic world that Chants From Another Place inhabits. Like watching a sunset; peaceful, sometimes kind of intense while also slightly psychedelic.”

Chants From Another Place is set for release on March 13th via Kscope.
