ENDLESS CHAIN RELEASE THIRD SINGLE/VIDEO “SAVE ME” TODAY
FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM, ‘NOTHINGNESS,’ OUT NOV. 20
Finnish melodic death/gothic metal force ENDLESS CHAIN are preparing for the release of their new album next month and are proud to share another preview track from the melancholic masterpiece with today’s new digital single and video for “Save Me" HERE.
“This is definitely one of my favourites from the new album. I think we really managed to capture the right mood with this one, and the song is full of emotion,” explains guitarist Timo Mölsä. “Ville Hovi’s lyrics, combined with the amazing vocal performances by both Ville and Aki Salonen, really bring the song to life in a beautiful way. You have to listen to ‘Save Me’ and watch the music video, it really adds another layer to the song!”
“’Save Me’ explores themes of memory, loss, shame and despair,” adds vocalist Ville Hovi. “After losing someone close to him, a man is haunted by ghosts from his past that return as powerful memories. As time passes, his memories begin to blur with reality, making it difficult to tell what belongs to the present and what belongs to the past, what is real and what is imagined.”
“He is also haunted by everything that was left unsaid and undone, and by thoughts of what could have been. At the heart of the song is a deep sense of despair and a longing for this troubled existence to finally end. Yet, even in the darkest moments, there remains a small thought that perhaps life might still hold some hope.”
The video for “Save Me”, created by Dronicon Films (Swallow The Sun, Kryptos, Devin Townsend), joins “Down” and “Fade To Nothingness” as the three preview songs painting the picture of the forthcoming album, ‘Nothingness,’ out Nov. 20th. The album is the third from the Finnish band and first international release continuing their sorrow-filled, emotional material laced with the dark backbone between the rhythms of Samuli Mikkonen and harsh vocals of bassist Aki Salonen’s complimenting the melodic melancholy of vocalist Ville Hovi. The quality and depth heard is filled with profound melancholic melodies and dark atmospheres mixed with aggressive beauty and emotional weight. Produced/mixed by Aleksanteri Kuosa (Wolfheart, Walteri, Dawn of Solace), mastered by Tony Lindgren (Amorphis, Insomnium, Katatonia) with artwork by Kalle Pyyhtinen (Children of Bodom, Entwine, Hanging Garden).
Physical pre-orders for the album on Digipak CD with booklet, or limited (300) hardwood colored vinyl with insert and digital download are available via Bandcamp and the M-Theory Audio webstore. Both platforms will ship from the US or Europe based upon your location. Or if you prefer direct from Finland courtesy of RecordShopX
EXTINCTION A.D. UNEARTHS A HEAVY METAL MONSTER WITH COVER OF ALICE COOPER’S "FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN"!
Get your costumes ready and your speakers turned up to maximum volume, because EXTINCTION A.D. is summoning the spirit of the spooky season with a monstrous new release. Just in time for Halloween, the thrash/hardcore powerhouse has unleashed a crushing cover of the classic Alice Cooper anthem, "Feed My Frankenstein."
“I’m sure every band has spent hours in the van BS-ing about, “wouldn’t it be cool if we covered THIS song?” Anytime we’ve done that, ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ would come up half as a gag. We all grew up with and love the movie Wayne’s World that this song appears in and the placement of it in that movie is rad. Once this ‘one single a month’ idea came up, we knew we wanted to do a cover for October in the spirit of Halloween and we humped at making this the choice after years of joking about it,” explains singer/guitarist Rick Jimenez. “Adding a bit of our flavor to this song with the heaviness of the guitars and my spin vocally, while adding the keyboards in a faithful way was absolutely ridiculous and super fun. So much of what we do musically is deadly serious so it was enjoyable to do something purely lighthearted.”
The digital single and an accompanying lyric video are online now, giving metalheads everywhere the ultimate soundtrack for graveyard parties, haunted houses, and headbanging in the dark.
Known for their high-octane energy and relentless aggression, EXTINCTION A.D. injects a heavy, modern dose of adrenaline into the iconic Cooper cut—proving that this legendary monster still needs plenty of feeding.
