After the annoucement of their highly anticipated album “Towards The Dying Lands”, which will be released on July 1st through Nuclear Blast Records, Finnish Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore act HORIZON IGNITED, drop a lyric video for the third single of their upcoming album, entitled “Servant”.
The Finns are once again coming around the corner with a tempting foretaste of the album and convince not least by the combination of fast Ηeavy Μetal elements with demanding lyricism.
Singer Okko Solanterä, comments about the new single: ” ‘Servant’ is the fastest and thrashiest song of the album. Very straightforward and aggressive with a melodic chorus giving some room to breathe and bringing some nice dynamics. The song is this Lovecraftian sci-fi story about a person who pledges himself to serve a dark purpose, becoming a loyal subject to an eldritch being who wages war and brings death across the whole universe, literally conquering planets within his wake.”
Founded back in 2017 by guitarists Johannes Mäkinen and Vili Vottonen, the debut album “After the Storm” was unleashed when the northern winds choked HORIZON IGNITED’s hometown of Kouvola in early 2019. The completely self-published album met very positive feedback and the band has made its mark since then. HORIZON IGNITED’s diverse class of act − captivating and guitar-driven Melodic Death Metal flavored with catchy Metalcore elements among others.
