Die schwedischen Symphonic Metal Visionäre ZORNHEYM präsentieren ihre zweite Single und das düstere Musikvideo zu `Deus Rex´. Der Song ist der Opener des kommenden Albums „Descending Into Madness“, das uns am 02. Oktober erwartet und mit dem typischen Mix aus Extreme, Symphonic und Atmosphäre das als Prequel in der dunklen Geschichte des Zornheim Asylum Universums fungiert.
Mastermind Zorn führt aus:
„We knew we wanted a fast, heavy-hitting epic as the opener for Descending Into Madness. The first idea that came to mind was an unreleased Devian song that was originally written for the third album. So this track is co-written with Emil Dragutinovic (ex-Marduk, ex-Devian, ex-The Legion). It started from his original idea, blended with some of mine. We kept the core spirit of it but fully ‘Zornheymified’ the song – I wrote new parts, and Scucca added the choir break. The result absolutely rips.“
„From a story perspective, this song serves as the prologue to the entire prequel. It takes us back to a time when the asylum functioned as a field hospital during the Thirty Years’ War, and to the dreadful night when a group of deserters were brutally executed by the shores of Sêlasee (the lake near the asylum) and hanged from the old oak. It also briefly touches on the period when the place served as a sanatorium for the dying.“
