NEWS: Decrowned only like it when it rains?

A very dark album, reflecting things that pass through the generations, consuming us from inside, lyrically “Persona Non Grata” is a description of a haunted future and the past that took wrong turns on personal and universal levels. This undefined black matter that flows ignoring time and reason is the unwanted entity. Out this weekend via Rockshots Records it follows a pair of well received EPs in 2018’s “Weight of The Dark Sky” and 2019’s “Hansel’s Nightmare” from melancholic Finnish Metallers Decrowned and so in celebration they share a music video for “Rainworld” cut from it.

The band comment: “Rainworld was almost going to be dropped from the album. It is one of the oldest songs and Jaakko didn’t like it so much in the beginning and it is a song that he composed. Luckily we talked Jaakko over and now the song has risen as one of our favorites and strongest songs from the album. Lyricically it paints up a rainy and gray landscape of a depressed mind. Seasons go too slowly for this individual. He wants them to pass faster so that eternal sleep and rest would finally take place.”

“We are so excited that our debut album “Persona non grata” will finally be released. Recordings started already in 2022 and the first intention was that album, but there were some roadstops here and there. We had to record bass tracks twice and also our mixing wizard Tero “TeeCee” Kinnunen had timetable changes because of his big contribution to Nightwish. This is also time to say huge thanks to Tero, for arranging time for us on his busy schedule and doing remarkable work for us.”
