Melbourne (Australia)-based gothic/doom metal band Elegeion has released an epic music video for the track "Sombre Skies". After a 17-year hiatus, legends Elegeion have made a triumphant return with their acclaimed 2022 album, Plight Of The Heretic. Known for their haunting blend of gothic, doom, DSBM, and classical influences, the band is now back with a groundbreaking music video for the track "Sombre Skies".
The video, filmed across nine locations and running 14 minutes and 15 seconds, promises to be one of the longest multi-location doom metal videos ever produced-certainly the longest in the gothic/doom metal genre. Taking two years to complete, the visual spectacle is designed to complement the album's emotional depth and sonic intricacy.
In 2023, the band supported international acts such as Japan’s Sigh and the UK’s Esoteric, cementing their presence on the live stage once again. Looking ahead, Elegeion is preparing to enter the studio later this year to record a new album, as they continue to solidify their legacy in the gothic doom scene. Recommended to fans of Katatonia, My Dying Bride, and Draconian. Link

"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
