Finnish melodic doomsters Hanging Garden return with their seventh album Skeleton Lake, which is probably one of the band's darkest and, at the same time most diverse outings to date. Although the playing of Hanging Garden tends to be gloomy and melancholic, from to time, the songs also seem optimistic or even euphoric. Since Riikka Hatakka joined the band as a permanent vocalist on Into That Good Night (2019), the musical picture has partially brightened and the sound cosmos of the Finns has broadened noticeably. The resulting impressions seem manifold and even more emotional. For now, Hanging Garden reveals: "Skeleton Lake is at times somber and hopeless, a crushing pressure in the freezing depths, and at times fervorous, basking in the splendor of a late winter's sun. In the darkness, we are cold and afraid. Still, not all is lost". While Skeleton Lake will be out on 21 May on limited vinyl LP (only 200 copies), CD digipak, and digital, the single "Winter's Kiss", a quirky gothic rock song, teases in the player below. Link
