German horror/dark metal poets The Vision Bleak have presented the first single/lyric video, "Weird Tales Chapter IV & V", from their upcoming one-track album, Weird Tales. The seventh full-length is slated for release on 12 April via Prophecy Productions, while "Weird Tales Chapter IV & V" awaits you in the player below.
The Vision Bleak's multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Schwadorf states on behalf of the duo: "Here is the first excerpt from our new album Weird Tales in the shape of two chapters. This album is a one-track opus of darkness and grandeur that we had wanted to realize for a very long time. 'Once I Was A Flower' and 'The Premature Burial' resemble centrepieces on Weird Tales. Both deal with death, burial and the grave but at the same time they could hardly be more different. 'Once I Was A Flower', which is based on a most beautiful short story by Lafcadio Hearn, is a beautiful gothic piece of sadness and beauty. It tells the tale of a flower and its scent - its spirit - sharing the grave with a young woman that just died. 'The Premature Burial' evokes the horror of being buried alive, which is of course based on Edgar Allen Poe's collection of cases of individuals that suffered this gruesome fate. 'Once I Was A Flower' has a very special place in my heart. It was not only the first musical idea for Weird Tales that shaped the concept but it is also simply the most gothic and wonderful poetic short story that I have ever read. It is beautiful beyond words and at the same it conveys our romantic world view of an animated, spirited nature".
The Vision Bleak returns in grand style: The duo's seventh full-length, Weird Tales, constitutes a monumental tribute to the eponymous American pulp magazine and other tales of mystery and dark imagination. The album consists of a single track, divided into internal chapters, each inspired by weird tales, poems, and other literature of horror and the macabre.
The Vision Bleak, the masters of horror metal, are finally ready to gift the world their most ambitious song so far: Weird Tales is a beautiful and heartfelt homage to a poetic golden age of horror and mystery literature that has championed most influential authors outside the mainstream like no other. Listen with care, but always be wary of the eldritch and forbidding sounds that lurk within this song! Link
