DARK SARAH - New Live Video Released

Finland's cinematic/symphonic female-fronted metal icons Dark Sarah have unveiled a beautiful live version of "Melancholia", taken from their astonishing fourth studio album, Grim. Released in July 2020 via Napalm Records, this beguiling new dimension, coalescing between crystal-clear vocals and propulsive hardness, draws you into the tempestuous maelstrom of their horror fantasy theme.

The video was recorded on the album release show, where they played Grim in Helsinki back in August 2020. With this breathtaking performance, the five-piece pulls its listener straight into another dimension while satiating the need for live experiences that are missed so much these days. Heidi's vigorous, yet melancholic soprano-like voice suffuses the rough soundscapes and merges with an irresistible narrative. With the help of a blue orb, the protagonist of the song, Luna, gains the magical power to see her past, helping her to reflect all occurrences and unveil the truth of why her heart had been frozen.

Heidi Parviainen states: ""Melancholia" is a dark (and maybe the saddest) song on Grim, yet it is also very powerful. In my opinion, it also contains the most beautiful guitar solo of the album. "Melancholia" is the name of a blue orb which provides magical powers to the protagonist Luna. In the song, Luna sees into her past through the orb and learns what has happened to her. She lives through her longings and loneliness once again." Link
