Burning Darkness Posts New Music Video Online
The sophomore album of Swedish black metallers Burning Darkness, titled, "Dödens Makt," is finally released today via Non Serviam Records. To celebrate, the band has released a new music video for the song, "In The Shadow Of Webbed Wings," which can be seen below.
"Fans of 90's black metal will love it. We at Burning Darkness don't concern ourselves with current trends. We play the type of music we love. Still not rigidly stuck in one spot, we musically take inspiration from other genres of metal and beyond. The new album has more variation than our debut. While it goes mostly quite fast, we've added slower and heavy as led parts as well. Rawness is balanced with atmosphere. On this album I wrote all the lyrics, discussing themes of death and anti-Christianity. I also added heathenry and folklore elements. There's horror and ancient evil awakening. This is the subjects that interest me so that's what I wrote. Just listen to the music over and over and try to manifest what the music makes me see into words," explains the frontman Per Kolderup Finstad. More...
Burning Darkness Releases New Song
Swedish black metal five-piece Burning Darkness will release their sophomore full-length album, "Dödens Makt," on July 2nd 2021 via Non Serviam Records.
Today the band unveils the second single "She Who Dwells Beyond the Branches." You can check it out below.
"In Swedish folklore the skogsrå is a malevolent female being who exists deep within the forest. Her enchanting allure is said to be unmatched by mortal women. She twists the minds of men who dare to venture too far into the woods. They are taken by her, never to be seen again. ‘She Who Dwells Beyond The Branches’ uses its ominous melody to paint an audial tale of her cruel nature and legendary beauty." comments Burning Darkness.

Burning Darkness Reveals New Album Details
Swedish black metal five-piece Burning Darkness will release their sophomore full-length album, "Dödens Makt," on July 2nd 2021 via Non Serviam Records.
Today the band unleashes the first single "Chiropteran Demon." Its primitive intro evolves into a progressive verse that mutates into an aggressive chorus making it a fair representation of the new album. You can watch the video below.
"‘Chiropteran Demon’ was chosen as first single because of the raw old-school energy mixed with some more modern heaviness. We felt the somewhat unorthodox mix worked really well. There are also some horror elements to the music which goes together well with the titular demon the lyrics talks about," comments Burning Darkness.
"Dödens Makt" (The Power of Death) is a more varied and atmospheric recording than the raw and intense debut. The band mixes both fast tempos and very heavy parts along with classic melodic tremolos and progressive elements. The lyrical themes of death and anti-Christianity are kept from the previous album, but new ones such as horror and Norse folklore are now present as well. The cover artwork depicting a demonic bat-like gargoyle was created by Lukasz Jaszak.

Ricardo Gelok, Non Serviam Records owner, adds: "I have known Burning Darkness for years. The drummer and me were talking a while ago, and he told me that the band was recording a new album.

It’s a real pleasure to work with a band like Burning Darkness, they are eager to get their fans hear this new opus."
