The wait is almost over: With “Endless," Estonia’s metalcore force PRIDIAN are releasing their fifth and last single from their upcoming record 'Venetian Dark,' which will officially be out in its full glory on May 16th, 2025, via Century Media Records. While “Endless” is being released with an impactful music video, the quartet shows once more what Estonia’s metal scene has to offer, raising the anticipation for their upcoming record.
Vocalist Laur Lindmäe shares the inspiration for “Endless”:
“There’s something about the way they look at me now. Like I’m a symbol of something I never agreed to. A shape. A signal. A convincing surface. I’ve kept quiet long enough for them to mistake that for agreement. I’ve stood in their ceremonies, watched them raise empty words like banners. I echo their language without saying anything of my own. Not because I believe, but because it’s easier than being exposed. They don’t want truth. They want symmetry. Clean lines. No noise. I can still feel - The thing they’ve forgotten how to name. And I know they see it flicker in me, even if they don’t understand it. Maybe that’s why they keep me close. Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of. Society moves like a machine: polished, efficient, and emotionally numb. It performs belief but doesn’t feel it. It repeats the shape of meaning, but not the soul of it."

Vocalist Laur Lindmäe shares about the inspiration for 'Venetian Dark':
"Looking at it on a larger scale, I believe that humanity has lost its connection with nature, the planet, and even itself. We relentlessly exploit every last resource, driven by profit and greed. Our ideologies have grown superficial, and we are becoming less and less empathetic. Even if we end up destroying the Earth, we seem to have this cockroach-like ability to survive. We'll likely figure out how to launch ourselves into space, discover another planet to inhabit, and start the cycle all over again.”

About PRIDIAN
Founded 2018 in Tartu, Estonia, metalcore quartet PRIDIAN channels the intensity of their experiences and emotions into a distinctive sound defined by dark, heavy grooves, commanding vocals, and cinematic melodies enhanced with electronic elements. Their first album, 'The Rotten Unknown' (released in 2021 under the name ÆØNS), earned a nomination for “Metal Album of the Year” at the Estonian Music Awards. Building on this success, PRIDIAN released the EP 'Cybergnosis' in 2023, and signed with label Century Media Records in September 2024. Now, with the release of 'Venetian Dark' as their first full length record as PRIDIAN, the quintet prove their place in the international metalcore scene but also why Estonia’s growing metal scene deserves more light in the future.
