MITOCHONDRIAL SUN - Shares Brand New Video

Mitochondrial Sun, the solo project by former Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin, shared a brand new video "Bodies And Gold". The song is the title track of the soon to be released EP (on 10 September) via Argonauta Records. After 15 albums as a metal guitarist, with Mitochondrial Sun Sundin started his first public forays into different musical realms, and he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down anytime soon: Following his 2020 solo debut and the critically acclaimed Sju Pulsarer not even a year later, the multi-instrumentalist is about to release his new EP in a couple of days.

The Bodies And Gold EP features six tracks of dystopian electronic music in a wide variety of moods and will be released on the 10th of September on all digital formats. The already sold-out limited edition vinyl version is (as those who pre-ordered it already know) somewhat delayed due to the supply chain problems that the whole vinyl pressing industry are experiencing. But to shorten the wait for Sundin's upcoming magnum opus, Mitochondrial Sun shared an epic video clip for the EP title track! Says Sundin: "The title track of the EP is probably among the shortest and catchiest songs that I've ever written, and therefore stands in stark contrast to some of the other material on the record. It's based on a minor chord sequence that progressively takes on a more colourful feel. As for the video, I once again went for something symbolic and open for interpretation rather than weaving a complex narrative with an obvious storyline. Make of it what you will."

Dive deep into the sound world of Mitochondrial Sun and watch the new clip below. Mitochondrial Sun's core of the music is an electronic and instrumental affair, that ranges from quiet meditations on space and time to relentless cosmic storms; from a sonic journey into fast, urgent and chaotic songs of the bleakest black metal sound, yet Mitochondrial Sun is full of emotionally charged melodies and atmospheric soundscapes lurking beneath the surface.
