Finnish Progressive Metallers DAMNATION PLAN, have unveiled “Under The Veil Of Sea”, the first single from their upcoming album “The New Horizon”, due out later this year through Inverse Records. The track comes alongside an official lyric video created by Jarkko Lunnas Productions
The band’s drummer-songwriter / lyricist Jarkko Lunnas comments: “ ‘Under The Veil Of Sea’ is an 8 minute Progressive Metal single that takes you on a journey through a wide range of emotions, from the intense Metal all the way to the mellow hypnotic mood painting of the song’s midpart. For this album we shifted from our earlier two-vocalist combo to single vocalist, so 99% of the vocals are this time clean by Asim Searah with his wide vocal reportoire presented also in this song.
The lyrics of the song deal with the yet undiscovered parts of our past that continue to re-shape the understanding of ourselves and our past as human species.”
DAMNATION PLAN was founded in 2004 by Jarkko Lunnas and Kalle Niininen in Espoo, Finland as a Progressive Metal band that mixed harsh vocals with the more traditional melodic clean vocals. The first Demo EP “Darker World” was released in 2007 for which the band played a dozen gigs around the Helsinki area, including a Tuska 2007 Warm-up show. “The Wakening” was released via Italian label Coroner Records (DISARMONIA MUNDI, DESTRAGE, THE NIGHTFLIGHT ORCHESTRA etc). “The Wakening” debyted at #18 in Finnish physical album sales chart) in March 2013.
Between the recordings and the mixing of the follow up to the their debut album, the band visited also Tallinn’s RockClub Tapper to play it’s first outside Finland gig, supporting Suicidal Angels (Gr). The band released the follow up album ‘Reality Illusion’ in 2017 via Inverse Records. After the Finnish release gigs for “Reality Illusion”, Tommy left the band in 2019 and Asim took over all the vocal duties coping impressively live both harsh and the clean vocals on their headlining gigs at On The Rock Helsinki and first open air festival show Dark River Metal Festival, Finland in 2021. The band started the recordings of their next album with Jaakko Nikko as the new bassist replacing Jukka Vehkamaa. With the renewed line-up, Damnation Plan will release their third album ‘The New Horizon”.
