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.

Gost Posts New Music Video Online

Gost has just released "A Fleeting Whisper," a new song taken from his upcoming album, "Rites of Love and Reverence," that is due for a release on August, Friday 13th. Join the coven and check out the video below.

There is more to this than meets the eye though: "’A Fleeting Whisper’ is an homage to not only navigating spirituality but simply being human," Gost explains. "The uncertainty of life makes living both beautiful and terrifying. We all carry around so many similar insecurities and feelings of doubt in this modern digital age. A time in our history which promises ultimate connectivity seems, all too often, to leave many of us feeling increasingly disconnected and alone. Music has always been a way for us to forget our differences and come together as a species. Personally, music has been the one true constant in my life and in many ways, the only true spirituality I have found solace in. Like a fleeting whisper, sometimes almost undetectable, music ties the events of my life together." More...

Darkwoods My Betrothed Signs With Napalm Records

After more than two decades of silence, Finnish cult black/epic metallers and pioneers of the scene Darkwoods My Betrothed carve their long-awaited comeback in stone by signing a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records!

In 2020, the old horde from the original line-up rejoined forces, now augmented by former session keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen as a full member of the band, bringing a significant contribution to the creative process, and Kai Hahto (both Nightwish) as session drummer.

Founded in 1993 in Kitee, Finland, Darkwoods My Betrothed quickly gained a cult status in the black metal underground. In 1995, they released their debut album, "Heirs of the Northstar," followed by sophomore album, "Autumn Roars Thunder" (1996), and "Witch-Hunts" (1998). Shortly after, the pagan flame of Darkwoods My Betrothed became but a fleeting glimpse in the nocturnal darkness of Eastern Finland. But it never faded away completely.

Be prepared for an onslaught of melodic black metal and epic majesty!
