German Fvnerals, a band that exists on the fringes of doom, post-rock, shoegaze and dark ambience, has released the first single/video, "For Horror Eats The Light", from its forthcoming new album, Let The Earth Be Silent, scheduled for release on 3 February 2023.
In further news, Fvnerals will also reissue its previous albums, The Light (2014) and Wounds (2016), as a digipak and on black vinyl the same day as the new album.
Fvnerals' guitarist Syd Scarlet comments: "The track 'For Horror Eats The Light' is a lament about giving up all sense of hope, embracing the absence of light and a forced return to barren lands through devastation. The song is about contemplating our lives coming to an end while accepting that nothing can save us and nothing should. It was written to include several movements that each mirror an emotional stage. The title of the song was inspired by a quote from Thomas Ligotti: 'Not even the solar brilliance of a summer day will harbor you from horror. For horror eats the light and digests it into darkness'".
Fvnerals' singer and bass player Tiffany Ström adds: "The video was created by Simona Noreik, an amazing artist with whom we had previously collaborated on our live visuals. Simona's artistic vision really complemented the apocalyptic nature of our song perfectly and she managed to portray desolation, extinction and nothingness with grace".
Fvnerals has created an album that turns the emptiness of the void and the depth of the abyss into sound with its third full-length, Let The Earth Be Silent. The duo gives sonic shape to the silence of extinction that humankind brings to all life on earth and itself. Depression, isolation, and the despair that this existence brings ooze out of every note. This time, the duo took an even less optimistic approach to songwriting than on its previous records, which also means that Let The Earth Be Silent is an artistic gift of beautiful darkness.
