Finnish gothic rock/metal band Sleep Of Monsters will release tomorrow, Friday 12 July, their third album, titled ΓΓΓ, on Svart Records. Sleep Of Monsters are a genre-bending vehicle for darkly melodic melancholia, perfumed in the incense of ancient mysteries and sullen decadence. With three female and two male vocalists and the unique lyrics of lead singer Ike Vil, Sleep Of Monsters are, to quote Monty Python, something completely different - hidden behind their sometimes deceivingly catchy songs lurks a poison garden of cloaked meanings and soul-shattering revelations.
Aiming for a grittier, earthier, more organic sound this time, Sleep Of Monsters have immersed themselves in ancient Greek mysteries. Written e.g. at the site of the wine-oracle of Perperikon and the sanctuary of the Cyprian Aphrodite in Palaeopaphos, and heavily influenced by the corpus known as Greek Magical Papyri, the lyrics constitute a modern initiation rite; a five-g's-in-total-darkness-type of trip that optimally bestows upon an intrepid listener the tripartite secret beyond the piper at the gates of dawn.
While you wait for the album to be released, check out the lyric video for "Mother Of Phantoms". Link
