Dark Suns Posts New Song "Spiders"

German progressive metal band Dark Suns will release a fifth studio effort, the double album "Everchild," on June 3rd via Prophecy Productions.

Recorded in Berlin's Funkhaus Studios (Europe's largest studio complex) with producer Yensin Jahn (Alice Cooper, Yo La Tengo), the album follows 2011's "Orange." In celebration of the upcoming record's release, today new song "Spiders" comes online and can be heard below.

“As well as being the second track on the album, ‘Spiders’ was also the second track we wrote during the songwriting process. It resulted mainly from the idea to combine a teenage pioneering spirit with urban melancholy," says vocalist Niko Knappe.

He goes on to say, "It tells about a young person’s departure. A group of teenagers in a state of eagerness and wanderlust, waiting for a friend to set out and break away from the parental home. ‘Push the spiders downhill’ is how the lyrics end, and stands for conquering fears and overcoming obstacles. We like the playful ease of the verses and how the song merges into the stomping brass parts and chorus lines, followed by a boisterously outro part.”

The new album's track listing is as follows:

1.) The Only Young Ones Left
2.) Spiders
3.) Escape With the Sun
4.) Monster
5.) Codes
6.) The Fountain Garden
7.) Unfinished People
8.) Everchild
9.) Torn Wings
10.) Morning Rain
11.) Yes, Anastasia (Tori Amos cover)
