Italian modern metallers Tystnaden released a brand new single and lyric video "Broken". The track is taken from bands upcoming album entitled The Black Swan, which will be released later this year via Elevate Records, at a date yet to be announced. The band's sound is a fascinating blend of instinctive energy and elegant atmospheres. Evolving from immediate dark tones to a more mature expressiveness, it combines a strong melodic sensibility with gritty, catchy riffs.
The band was formed back in 1999 and released its debut album, Sham Of Perfection, in 2006. After years of silence, the band rediscovers itself in 2023, merging its roots with a precious maturity. This is how the songs that will constitute their new album, The Black Swan, come to life. Tystnaden entrusts the production of the album to Fabio D'Amore (Synonym Of Sound), which is recorded between Silz (AU) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (IT). The album's mix benefits from the collaboration of Francesco Marzona. The album's title is a tribute to Nassim Nicholas Taleb's 2007 essay, which discusses the strong impact of rare and unpredictable events and the human tendency to retrospectively find simplistic explanations for these events. This theory has since been known as the Black Swan theory.
Tystnaden says about their new single: "Despite all the love and intensity we may invest, this time, like others, the end arrives. An unexpected event. Our own 'black swan'. It changes everything. This is what happens when everything ends, when we fuck everything up. But think about how drastically the end itself changes based on how we perceive it, accept it. We can thus embrace it. Or we can fight it." Link
