Finnish atmospheric/melancholic gothic doom metal masters Hanging Garden will release this Friday, 21 January via Lifeforce Records their brand new EP, Neither Moth Nor Rust. Before that, the band revealed the new video for "On The Shore Of Eternity" off the new effort.
The band comments: "Shifting one's perspective outward far enough, our constant struggle to persist starts to lose it's meaning - for what are we but a mote of dust, a speck on the celestial canvas, a grain - on the shore of eternity."
The output of the Finnish band is as remarkable as their ability to keep progressing creatively. On their newest EP, Hanging Garden remain dedicated to dark, atmospheric music. Once again, they manage to develop a gloomy sound that seems a bit different in the broader picture but also is differently shaded for their own musical pathway. The breadth of impressions on the listener's side is as pronounced as the group's valuable, general sounding arrangements.
With the six tracks of the follow-up to their seventh album Skeleton Lake from 2021, Hanging Garden explore the sonic space between sparseness and universal grace. Ethnic and folky accents are used even more naturally. The same goes for the use of electronic elements or beats, piano and the inclusion of Riikka Hatakka's vocals respectively clean singing in general.
On their new EP, Hanging Garden present themselves as sound seekers whose sole concern is to translate emotions and moods into sombre music. With this, they succeed impressively, while sadness is omnipresent and tangible.
