Swedish black metal legends DARK FUNERAL have shared a new track from their highly anticipated seventh studio album. The new song, “Leviathan”, is the third single off the upcoming record “We Are The Apocalypse”, which will be released March 18th via Century Media Records. Watch the video to “Leviathan” below.
Lead vocalist Heljarmadr states about “Leviathan”: “I immediately heard the ocean when I was listening to the intro for the track, so I wrote from that place and I began to see this place that I was hearing. So I’m trying to create this dire, ominous experience in the water, which is a unique theme and concept for us.”
Heljarmadr continues, “Sometimes I am quite glad that I am not a drummer. I think Jalomaah outdid himself here and it was like standing in a wind tunnel when we recorded it in the studio. But through all the high tempo hammering shines great detail and I think this song has a lot of dynamics. I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing the crowd chant “Nightfall” the day we bring it to the stage.”
