Dutch Doom Metal pioneers CELESTIAL SEASON, have released the title track of their forthcoming album “Mysterium I”, which is set for release on April 25th through Burning World Records. The band also made a video for the song featuring animations from Italian experimental animator and director Rino Stefano Tagliafierro, which unfortunately got censored by Youtube for displaying nudity.
Drummer Jason Köhnen, said the following about the new track : ” ‘Mysterium’ is the title track of the album. The ‘Mysterium’ is the realm one finds in many of the Secret Teachings. The hidden knowledge kept from the masses, which throughout civilizations have been used for either the light or dark occultists, swaying the times between the good and the evil. The basic and universal laws that govern the universe.’
And he adds: “As for the song ‘Mysterium’, it expresses transcendentalism in the form of Doom Metal. The video clip accompanies the song expressing art through the ages, human expressions that remain timeless, no matter which epoch we live in. They are constant and universal.”
“Mysterium I” arrives nearly two years following the release of their comeback album “The Secret Teachings”, and is the first of a trilogy completed with “Mysterium II” and “Mysterium III” to follow in 2022 and 2023. Musically, “Mysterium I” picks up where “The Secret Teachings” left off, following the path of their doom-era initiated with “Forever Scarlet Passion” from 1993 and “Solar Lovers” from 1995, widely acclaimed for a heavy, melancholic sound combined with classic instruments like violins and cello. Lyrically, the “Mysterium” trilogy also continues where “The Secret Teachings” left off. A deep dive into the secrets of the ancient mysteries, all that is known and all what is still to be discovered.
