Finnish metalcore eccentrics ONE MORNING LEFT have unveiled "Emerald Dragon" featuring Jake Luhrs of August Burns Red, out now via Arising Empire!
Accompanying the release of "Emerald Dragon" is a music video that has garnered attention for its visual style, reminiscent of The Prodigy's famous "Smack My Bitch Up." The video's dynamic and creative visuals effectively match the energetic pulse of the track, offering a compelling viewing experience.
"Emerald Dragon" reflects One Morning Left's creative approach to metalcore, mixing their distinct style with inspirations from well-known figures in the genre. The collaboration with Luhrs and the homage to The Prodigy's iconic video style represent the band's adventurous spirit and their commitment to exploring new avenues within metalcore.

ONE MORNING LEFT's fourth album Hyperactive marked their first new material in five years. The group began a whole new chapter in their story, drawing inspiration from retro electronic and video game music, as well as '80s hard rock, while staying true to their heavier roots.
Changes have been afoot not only in the band's musical style, but also in their lineup. Returning from the cast of 2016's Metalcore Superstars were frontman Mika Lahti, guitarist/vocalist Leevi Luoto, and drummer Niko Hyttinen. Additional firepower was provided by new faces Tuukka Ojansivu on guitar and Miska Sipiläinen on bass guitar, as well as the return-to-form of keyboard player Touko Keippilä from the band's original Panda <3 Penguin lineup.
