Pungent Swedish black metal outfit Watain have launched the song “Serimosa” as the second single from their new album “The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain“. An April 29th release date has been set for the latter while the band’s vocalist E. Danielsson had the following to say about this latest track:
“‘Serimosa‘ tells of the electric notion of the coming of a great power. The appearance of cracks in the dam that holds the flood of the great sea. A visitor from the beyond, crossing the threshold into the material world.
- Advertisement -Just like ‘Watain‘ – ‘Serimosa‘ is a word/name of power communicated out of unknown origin, appearing into the world sans history, to be approached with thought and reverence. Its linguistic root may be traced from the latin word Seri (‘serum’) along with Dolorosa (‘pain’) Nebulosa (‘starfog’) Lacrimosa (‘tearfilled’), as if those words and their meanings were spoken as one. In her hand she holds the stern light of renewal, of transformation, of merciless cleansing. Thematically, Serimosa also holds similarities to the fiery Samhara aspect of Nataraja, the doomsday dance of Shiva marking the dissolution of order at the end of an eon.
May she bring you far and deep.”
