Finnish blackened post-hardcore outfit Svarta Havet have signed with Prosthetic Records. Their sophomore album “Månen Ska Lysa Din Väg” has been cued up for a May 09th release through the label, with the new single “Alla Sover” being shared online today, March 13th. A video for that is available below.
The band’s vocalist Lotta had the following to say of that song:
“‘Alla Sover‘ portrays a sort of grotesque party on a speeding train at the potential end of the world. Fill up the champagne glasses, let us toast to the final hour!
It is about most things being pretty firmly on the road to ruin, no climate targets are being met, over 70 000 tons of explosives have been dumped on Gaza since October of 2023. ‘Alla Sover‘ describes the feeling of being a privileged citizen of today’s world – someone that has never known true strife because of the luck of being born into privilege in the Global North, but who instead has to live with the fact that we and our lifestyle are a large contributing factor to how the world looks today.
‘Alla Sover‘ deals with this feeling of complicity and powerlessness. The song ends in some sort of collapse where the protagonist lays down on the rails after the last train of partiers has left, making a last plea to the birds to keep singing.”
