Sänger Viktor Storm Gullichsen, Gitarrist Joona Björkroth, Bassist Jarkko Niemi und Drummer Patrik Fält aka die finnischen Melodic Death Metaller mit Folk/Pagan Elementen BRYMIR präsentieren den Titeltrack ihres kommenden Albums, der gewohnt melodisch und modern aus den Boxen tönt, als Video. „What We Leave Behind“, der mittlerweile fünfte Longplayer des Vierers aus Helsinki erscheint am 02. Oktober.
BRYMIR über Song und Video:
“There are defining moments in our lives when we need to choose if we keep walking along the same trajectory or take a leap into the unknown. These choices, sometimes life-changing, often need to be made in an eyeblink, and the consequences can only be cherished or despised when viewed in retrospect. This is a song about our regrets—may these haunting melodies help you reflect on yours and hopefully show some solace in the beauty of the journey. For this music video, we wanted to boldly go into the sci-fi aesthetic we’ve been hinting at for a while now. It may seem drastic to some of our fans, but the undercurrents have definitely been there for a long while already, and this video and lead single we feel is the final ripping off of the proverbial band-aid. We’re bending and breaking our boundaries and definitely any preconceptions of BRYMIR as just a ‘folk metal’ band. Thematically and musically, the title track, of course, is the summation of the whole of the very diverse upcoming album, stretching through epochs of time and the very core existential drive of humanity. What do we leave behind? What is the legacy we wish to leave for those who come after? Or is our obsession over legacy the poison pill for our present? Our blindness to make the progress that truly matters in the end, so very near us… We boldly engage the warp-drives, but maybe we leave the truly important things back home after all.”
