Czech avant-garde post-metal band Heiden have shared a new video single, "Temnoplodec" (English "Darkbearer"), a rejected existence trapped in body and time. The video was filmed in the misty forests of the Vysočina region, with the help of our friend and former bassist of Heiden, Dalias Qelhma.
"Temnoplodec" is the first unveiled track from the band's upcoming album Cma, scheduled for release on 24 April via Epidemie Records, and with which Heiden announce the darkest chapter of their career to date. A layered, shadow-drenched mass, like ash from burned-down homes absorbed by the Carpathian mountains. Cma follows the band's 2022 release Andzjel, yet pushes deeper into a more ominous and monumental evolution of Heiden's sound. The album delivers a glimpse into a world where nothing matters anymore. An irreversible, ever-intensifying cycle of bleak thoughts and events, with you at its very core. Link

"The whole thing for us with the lore we have created is inspired by Greek Mythology and the stories of Atlantis." - Phil Primmer
"I find it really bizarre, because right after the concert, you're already on the internet. I mean, come on. It's very different from how it used to be, but it's fine." - Anja Huwe
"With Hypocrisy, I'm very "home", but with Pain, it's an adventure, just like going into the jungle only with a knife and no glass of water and trying to survive." - Peter Tägtgren
"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
