Estonian Metalcore Force PRIDIAN Releases New Single “Endless” + Music Video

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.”

Estonian Metalcore Quartet PRIDIAN Announce Debut Album 'Venetian Dark' Out May 16th via Century Media Records

It has been in the making: Estonia’s metalcore force PRIDIAN are unveiling details for their upcoming album 'Venetian Dark' alongside their newest single “DINY”. Their record, which will mark the band’s debut album, is set to be released May 16th, 2025, via Century Media Records and follows PRIDIAN’s 2023 debut EP 'Cybergnosis'. With the release of 'Venetian Dark', PRIDIAN show not just their own potential in the international metalcore scene but also why Estonia’s growing metal scene deserves more light in the future.

The band shares the backstory about “DINY”: 

"I drove fast. Faster than I should have really. The night pressed in on me, cold and endless, the road disappearing into the blackness ahead. The air outside was freezing, but it couldn’t match the cold that had settled inside me. My thoughts circled around her, over and over. Every streetlight I passed threw her silhouette onto the road, and for a moment, I thought I saw her standing there, waiting for me. My foot pressed harder on the gas, wondering what it would feel like to just keep going— to let everything go. The emptiness inside was worse than the road ahead, and I wasn’t sure if I was trying to outrun it or dive straight into it. She was gone, but not gone enough. And no matter how fast I went, I knew I’d never escape her."

Estonian Metalcore Quartet PRIDIAN Share Third Single “Out For Blood”

It might be their biggest year yet: After announcing their signing to label Century Media Records last September and releasing two hard-hitting singles, PRIDIAN isn't slowing down anytime soon. The band from Estonia is delivering their third single with “Out For Blood” while continuously teasing their upcoming album, which is set for a spring release this year.

Listen to "Out For Blood" HERE

“Out For Blood” is almost a battle cry with its raw, hard-hitting lyrics, which encapsulate a relentless pursuit of justice while overcoming influences and perceptions from the outside world. Musically, the track captivates with a chaotic nature through its energetic riffs paired with EDM-style synths. Atmospheric elements, such as the almost robotic voices, create an addicting dynamic and relentless energy that makes one want to see this song come alive live.

Watch the Music Video for "Out For Blood" below.

“Out For Blood” showcases that PRIDIAN is not afraid to get a bit more experimental with their sound. With “Near Dark” and “idoldust” released prior, fans of the genre can keep their anticipation for this record high.

About PRIDIAN

Initially formed in 2018 by guitarists Jörg-Erik Hanikat and Martin Randalu, drummer Robert Leht, and completed by singer Laur Lindmäe, who joined in 2021, Estonian band PRIDIANquickly evolved their very own style and take on modern metal. Having released an album called 'The Rotten Unknown' under their name ÆØNS in 2021, the band was nominated for the “Metal Album of The Year” at the Estonian Music Awards and built the foundation of what’s to come under their new name.

Rebranded as PRIDIAN, the band released their debut EP 'Cybergnosis' in the fall of 2023 and constantly elaborated their unique sound. Their modern take on industrial soundscapes, metalcore, and catchy hooks made them known in the rising Estonian metal scene and beyond. Just one week before opening Sunday’s mainstage at the infamous Euroblast Festival in Cologne – their first-ever performance in Germany – the band announced their signing with German metal label Century Media Records to release their brand new single “Near Dark”, embarking on a new chapter of the band’s history.
