Balancing brutal death metal ferocity with majestic orchestral passages and melancholic melodies, “Alone In The Forest” highlights the essence of KARU’s sound where aggression and beauty coexist in perfect harmony. The song’s evolving dynamics from towering riffs and guttural vocals to ethereal melodic sections, capture the spiritual and emotional struggle at the heart of the album’s storyline.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Niko Hienonen, the track showcases the band’s refined compositional depth, strengthened by the intricate guitar work of Kalle Pöyskö and Toni Tieaho (Crystalic, ex-Mors Principium Est). Visually complemented by artwork from Driope Project, the single continues the narrative thread leading to the album’s climactic title track, “Perdition”.

KARU’s music channels both the unforgiving nature of the North and the mysticism of feudal Japan merging cold precision with cinematic emotion. The result is a sound as vast and powerful as the landscapes that inspired it.

For fans of: Wintersun, Nightwish, Children of Bodom

“Perdition” will be released worldwide on November 21st, 2025

Finnish female-fronted progressive metal band Canvas of Silence present the Official Lyric Video for their new single “One With The Wind”, taken from their debut concept album “As The World Tree Fell”.

Inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s acclaimed film The Wind Rises, the song takes the form of a farewell letter — the last words of someone preparing to part with the world, leaving behind a message of hope, love and liberation. Musically, it merges haunting vocal melodies, soaring choruses, and intricate prog-tinged arrangements, in what the band calls “Prog-influenced Chorus Metal”.

“As The World Tree Fell” explores themes of collapse, rebirth, and the fragile beauty of existence — “One With The Wind” is a key emotional chapter in that journey.

The post CANVAS OF SILENCE – One With The Wind (Official Lyric Video) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Today, in celebration of the album’s release, Amoth is sharing their latest music video for the record’s opening track “Alice”.

“The verse riff of this song was shown to me by Alice Cooper in my dream! I woke up and immediately wrote the riff down. That’s where the name of this song comes from, so thanks Alice! There are two main characters in this song: a stripper and her pimp. The lyrics are almost like a dialogue between those two. Very catchy and ”easy to get into” song with strong and memorable melodies. I knew this song needed an 80’s style chorus so that’s what it has.” adds guitarist Tomi Ihanamäki.

The band’s roots are strongly founded on 80’s heavy metal, but branch out in different directions with elements from progressive rock, thrash, and even jazz brought to the table. “The Hour Of The Wolf” is the band’s third studio album to follow to their previous recordings “Revenge” (2016), “Crossing Over” (2011), “Wounded Faith (EP) (2008).

This third full-length features Pekka Montin of Ensiferum once again as the lead vocalist and for the first time, there are also keyboards on an Amoth recording. Fans can expect insane vocals and virtuoso-like playing from all members of the band. The nine songs are very diverse, taking sudden twists and turns into unexplored territory. Amoth even offers up two Steve Vai / Joe Satriani-style instrumentals on this new full-length with tracks “Wind Serenade Part I” and “Wind Serenade Part II”.
“This is by far our best album yet! Superior performances from all of the musicians. Much better production and songwriting. It’s not a fast-food album. Some of the songs are quite complex so it takes probably more than one listen to really get into!” comments Amoth guitarist and main songwriter Tomi Ihanamäki.

Recommended for fans of Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Testament, Megadeth, Joe Satriani, Amoth‘s new album “The Hour of The Wolf”, is now available as of Jan 28th at the following links:
