Italian deathcore act He Comes Later and Superbia Music Management are glad to announce the release of “Son Of Resignation”, new single with Wouter Dergez (frontman of Belgian metal act When Plagues Collide) as guest. “Son Of Resignation” was produced by Federico Ascari.
“‘Son Of Resignation’ is the first track that represents a stylistic evolution and a stronger and more evocative approach to the sound and topics. This track is a condemnation of human apathy and of some of the worst characteristics of mankind: greed, egoism and indifference, that led us to live in an increasingly individualistic and profit-oriented world, at the expense of others too. ‘Am I completely innocent?’. Are we really innocent if we observe without reacting against the evilness? The topic is supported by a very heavy sound with apocalyptic and ambient synths, a key element for the sound of the band since the beginning. For this reason synths, orchestras and pianos are a sound component that can be also found again in the other new tracks featured in the upcoming EP. This release is key for us because the whole covid situation slowed down our writing process. Our goal in 2021 is to release as much music as we can and hopefully get back to our livelihood in the music scene”.

I first heard Empyrium from Germany about twenty years ago. Then, every Wednesday me and couple of friends had theme metal evenings. One of my friends had a vacation house in the hills so we went there and listened to new music on tapes, one Wednesday it was doom, one was black metal, one was gothic and during one of these doom evenings I heard Empyrium´s Songs Of Moors & Misty Fields and I was enchanted by melody, melancholy, vocals, keyboards and every song was a hit and it almost brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps on my skin. Fast forward to 2021. I was so happy when I saw that this new album came out and it was a long journey to releasing it. This one offers eight epic songs of melodic mixture of doom metal with gothic, post metal influences and neofolk. Music has harsh guitars sometimes, but also many atmospheric passages, acoustic miniatures in the song structures, epic work of keyboards which only add to the grandeur and beauty. Vocals are mainly clean, sung beautifully or sometimes spoken and whispered, but there are couple of excursions into harsher vocal ranges. I love how the songs, although most of them being longer, do not get boring or repetitive in any second. Another superb album, welcome back Empyrium! 9/10
Vocalist Patrik Mennander backgrounds the song: “Ruoska’s new single Runno goes deep into Finnish mythology and culture. On it’s twisted lyrics Ruoska interpret the Finnish-like determined mindscape: Sisu!Theme of the song is familiar from band’s early days, bowing to old fans as well as seducing new ones with it’s twisted and gloomy humor. It opens the inevitable return of Ruoska after over decade of waiting and leads the way towards the upcoming new Ruoska album.So turn up the volume!”
