NEWS: Weightless World make it five singles with “Eyes Of A God”!

Recorded and Mixed by Tuomas Kokko (My Funeral, Baulta, Firmir) at Electric Fox Studios Mastered by Joni Vanhanen (Nykypost, Ghost Brigade, Horse Attack Sqwad), a fifth single in “Eyes Of A God” has been issued by Finnish modern melodic metal quintet Weightless World from their sophomore album “Sleepwalker“. Directed and shot by Tino-Viljami Vanhala, the music video for song was shot at Kotka and at a national park of Repovesi. Magnificent shots of Finnish nature and a fierce commitment from everyone, especially vocalist Perttu Korhonen who travelled the whole shooting day with bare feet like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, it showcases the struggle of a person that keeps carrying their burden, unconsciously or consciously, alone. The album will see the cold light of day on 9th November via Inverse Records…

Guitarist Valtteri Viinikka comments: ‘’When talking about demos I’ve never been more sure and convinced of the potential of one as Eyes Of A God. The first version however was more melancholic and slower and it was in desperate need of an energy spike to become from something good into something special. So I took the song and by my vision started to arrange the base rhythm into more upbeat and composed a couple new parts to make it richer and more interesting. The result is an epic and a fascinating hybrid of ‘energetic heaviness’ and is still giving me chills when listening to it… The burden may be this assorted load consisting of many small things that together feel much heavier and are harder to keep carrying with you. And what’s even more strange is the fact that letting go of that stuff can be surprisingly hard. Including from those things that at the end would be pretty minor stuff if one could only look at them objectively’

Vocalist Perttu Korhonen adds: “The song this big just about screamed to use the most known and most powerful metaphor that mankind knows. ‘Eyes Of A God’, ain’t it the one.”
