Danish Doom Metallers, SATURNUS, have unveiled an official lyric video for their new single “Chasing Ghosts”, from the upcoming album “The Storm Within”, set for release on June 16th via Prophecy Productions.
The band comments: ” ‘Chacing Ghosts’ deals with the enormous amount of time we spend chasing things that end up either being the complete opposite of what we need or just slipping through our fingers. This can drag us down as if it was some kind of atonement to be settled and at the same time choked by the fear of failure. However when it all comes to pass it’s as if the effort and the time invested have been for nothing, yet it lingers and haunts us like a spirit. Even when awareness is found within the darkest solace, inner demons and dilemmas remain the same. Emotionally, this anthem is loaded with soaring melodies and bitter passages, capable of dooming anyone’s heart.”
The title of SATURNUS’ fifth album, “The Storm Within”, is hinting at both the tempest of the natural world and turmoil that can rage inside the mind. It is also quite obvious that the long time it took the Danes to create this full-length and the personal reasons behind the hiatus very much contributed and inspired its artistic expression.
SATURNUS have outdone themselves with The Storm Within. The musical themes of the seas, rain, and stormy waters are a subtle presence and guiding thread throughout the songs that reflect anger, loss, melancholy, and pain in equal measure. The fully matured craftsmanship on this album is sublime and extremely dynamic, ranging from moments of calm to brutal outbursts.
“The Storm Within” took a long time in its creation and along the way demanded painful sacrifices from SATURNUS. All the blood, pain, and sweat have left their marks on this record. Yet in the end, the brutal honesty and the baring of the soul emanating from each note is what makes “The Storm Within” such a brilliant piece of music.
