German symphonic deathcore group Ruins Of Perception‘s new single “The Crimson Key” went up online today, October 29th. It serves as the lead single from their forthcoming EP “Witchcraft And Cruelty“, which they will be releasing on January 15th via Seek & Strike.
That quartet went on to say of this track and its French folktale inspiration:
“Our new single, ‘The Crimson Key‘, marks the start of the journey with one of the darkest figures in European folklore: Bluebeard. The song draws inspiration from the tale of a cruel nobleman whose wives meet horrific fates when they disobey his commands. His newest bride is given access to his castle, but forbidden from opening one particular door.
When curiosity overcomes obedience, a seemingly insignificant key becomes the instrument of her terrible discovery. ‘The Crimson Key’ explores the sinister relationship between power, forbidden knowledge and inevitable doom.”
