Croatian gothic rock and metal outfit Ewiniar have released their third full-length album, Fractured Harmony, alongside the official music video for the track "The Silent God." With this latest chapter, the Split-based band further refine their distinctive blend of atmospheric melancholy, powerful songwriting and cinematic scope.
Rooted in both gothic rock and gothic metal traditions, Ewiniar have steadily forged a sound that balances haunting moods with melodic accessibility and emotional intensity. Across Fractured Harmony, the band explores themes of inner conflict, loss and resilience through evocative compositions driven by soaring melodies, immersive textures and dynamic guitar work.
The new album showcases Ewiniar's ability to seamlessly unite dark atmospheres with memorable hooks, creating a collection of songs that is equally introspective and powerful. Expanding upon the foundations laid by their previous releases, Fractured Harmony offers a rich and emotionally charged listening experience that highlights the band's continued artistic growth.
To coincide with the album's release, Ewiniar have unveiled the video for "The Silent God." Directed and edited by Toni Mijač, the visual complements the song's dark and contemplative character, adding another layer to the band's expressive and cinematic aesthetic.
Fractured Harmony is available now, while the previously released video for "Perfect Sin" provides an additional glimpse into the album's compelling gothic landscape and is available to watch HERE. If you are looking out to see the band playing live, Ewiniar will be presenting the album live in Zagreb (Croatia) on 31 October at Primarius Brewery, as a supporting act for Sinj-based band Embrio.
