TIDES

Description

Finnish melodic death metal band Horizon Ignited is stepping up to the next level with “Tides,” a colossal album that will forever change the course of a genre that has not evolved for a long time. After two albums, Horizon Ignited returns with fiery, dark and passionately heavy anthems. It has everything: soaring melodies, abyssal heaviness and a sublime aura. "Tides" is a stunning feat of modern death metal. It’s all here: soaring melodies, abyssal heaviness, an ethereal aura. 'Tides' is a cross between their compatriots Insomnium and Dark Tranquility, driven by modern brutality. Bangers like “Ashes” or “Baptism By Fire,” but above all the new national anthem of the genre, the colossal album opener “Beneath The Dark Waters,” are very likely to quickly become modern classics of a genre that can sometimes feel repetitive - imbued with a deep sense of melancholy. Just Finns. Recorded by Juho Räihä (guitarist of Swallow The Sun) at Inka Studio in Orimattila and mixed and mastered by Chris Clancy (Machine Head, Kataklysm) in the UK, this duo, together with the band, has created an album of legend that tries to confront the meaninglessness of life. And it is there, above all, that you find happiness and peace. "On a universal scale, we are very small and insignificant, but if we work together and stay together, perhaps we can find meaning in this cosmic void," says the band. Let that be our new mantra. And “Tides” is the soundtrack to this new era.
