Dark Melodic Metal outfit DEATHWHITE, has released “Earthtomb”, the first single of its upcoming album “Grey Everlasting”, alongside an official music video shot by Guilherme Henriques. “Grey Everlasting”, will be out on June 10th via Season Of Mist.

DEATHWHITE comment: “It is our abundant pleasure to share the video for ‘Earthtomb,’ the first single from ‘Grey Everlasting’. The immaculate Guilherme Henriques shot the clip in Aceredo, Spain and Porto, Portugal. Unfortunately, the song and video are a rather timely and direct reflection of the times we live when unchecked power, deception, gas-lighting and flat-out lies are used as tools to wreak havoc upon humanity and sow discord. ‘Earthtomb’ was written as our observation — and inherent wish — that these individuals succumb to their misdeeds. What is happening in Ukraine at the moment has, for the members of DEATHWHITE, made this song more prescient than ever. Our hearts go out to those impacted by this utter tragedy.”

Written just as the global lockdown began in March 2020, “Grey Everlasting” is an album of diversity and depth. While the band’s clean vocal delivery set to the backdrop of unyielding Dark Metal remains ever-present, some new wrinkles are added to DEATHWHITE’s sound. Extreme Metal elements — a reference to the band’s musical background — as well as heavy keyboard orchestration have been brought to the fore. The album also treads more atmospheric paths while staying true to DEATHWHITE’s melodic underpinnings.

Lyrically, “Grey Everlasting” balances DEATHWHITE’s harsh view of the world with themes of self-preservation. It is a rare glimmer of light from a band that has regularly addressed the ills of humankind on previous albums. However, the onset of the global pandemic made “Grey Everlasting” an appropriate title.
