Norwegian progressive metal band The Fallen Divine are currently working on the follow-up to their “The Binding Cycle” album released in 2012 through Indie Recordings and today have released a lyric video for the demo version of the song “Pilgrimage”.
Recorded at Strand Studio in Oslo, where the five-piece have been demoing and finalizing new material, “Pilgrimage” offers a preview of what to expect from the band's upcoming release, tentatively scheduled for this summer.
Watch the lyric video below.
About this new song, guitarist Magnus Haugo offered the following comment: “This new song will show you where we are today musically. It's very melodic and progressive, and contains many different parts, while at the same time it's all making sense. We won't go into detail about the lyrics, but we hope you will watch the lyric video and interpret them as you like”.
Regarding the new album, he adds: “The material for our next album is heading in a quite different direction than our last album, "The Binding Cycle". For instance, we have incorporated some clean vocals. All the songs are pretty long and the longest clocks in at about 16 minutes. We are feeling really good about this and we hope 2015 will be a good and productive year for us”!
“Another example that proves that Scandinavia rule the Progressive Death Metal scene. Dynamic and bombastic, just the way I like it. These guys have a bright future ahead”! - Dan Swanö
The Fallen Divine is a progressive extreme metal band from Oslo, Norway that formed in the summer of 2009. Since that date, after hours upon hours in the rehearsal space, the band has created a style of progressive metal that very few other bands have achieved before them. It's difficult to categorize the sound of The Fallen Divine, but descriptions like "melodic", "dynamic" and "complex" are often used. The band name awakes a strong contrast which one also can hear in their music.
In 2010 the band released a demo by the name "The Eternal Past and Future", as a taste of what was yet to come. The demo received some decent reviews while being a rewarding experience for the band. And as another year went by, The Fallen Divine managed to pull their musical experience together and created eight musically strong songs that would become "The Binding Cycle", their debut full-length album.
The adventure of achieving the perfect sound for "The Binding Cycle" began in the summer of 2011. The band entered the highly respected Sonic Train studios in Gothenburg, Sweden, with Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) as their sound engineer. After a couple weeks of intense, yet creative work, the material was sent to Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity) for the final mix and mastering and finally released in May 2012 via Indie Recordings.
