In anticipation of their upcoming Scandinavian run with labelmates SONATA ARCTICA, Swedish symphonic metal band TUNGSTEN has unveiled a new single, taken from their upcoming album The Grand Inferno, due on October 18, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). Children's voices from a world beyond introduce "Lullaby," an infectious track which turns into a driving, industrial-dominated hit song full of vengeance and regret. Its chilling vibe comes to life in another music video directed by TUNGSTEN's guitarist Niklas "Nick" Johansson.
TUNGSTEN declare, "It's about a mother who sacrifices her own child to a herd of unknowing beings to stay forever young, but her story takes a dark turn as the child returns from the grave and brings revenge for the things she had done to him as the lullaby she sang for her child is sung forevermore by the child."
About the music video recording they add, "The place we rented to film the band scenes for the music video was very strange and spooky. Small trees and bushes were growing on the third floor in a big warehouse room...green moss covered the ground...overall a fun but kinda nasty experience."
TUNGSTEN are a Swedish symphonic metal band formed by ex-HAMMERFALL drummer Anders Johansson and his sons Niklas and Karl in 2016, completed by vocalist Mike Andersson. With their technical virtuosity and captivating compositions, the band have made a name in the international metal scene, and with their album The Grand Inferno, their first release via RPM, they will undoubtedly enrich the metal landscape. The record brims with nothing but energy and innovation, and promises a powerful fusion of dynamic instrumentation and captivating melodies with the quartet's signature sound being apparent throughout.
