Austrian symphonic metal act Edenbridge have released a new digital single and lyric video.
It's the title track — "Set The Dark On Fire" — from the upcoming album out January 16.
Watch the lyric video below.
With the title track, Edenbridge present one of their fastest songs ever. The band continues to convey confidence without denying dark themes. The songs are earthier and more emotional than ever before, and in many cases, even more aggressive — but never destructive. The transformative power of fire runs like a thread through the entire album, literally making the listener feel the sparks.
Sabine Edelsbacher says, "As a bridge-building force in the musical universe, we stand for transformation rather than escalation. We see ourselves as observers of external events and dedicate ourselves to the underlying issues — inner development and our own effectiveness."
In the gentle passages, the band members are concerned with inner peace and finding insights. These are then presented with full expressiveness.
"When chaos reigns outside, don't get entangled, but go to the zero point, the center," Edelsbacher continues. "The fiery power of the sun immediately rises within you as insight and inspiration. Connected to your inner sun, you rise like a phoenix from the ashes."
Set The Dark On Fire will be released on January 16 through Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold version and digital and can be pre-ordered here.
