NEWS: Sargassus arrive at hells gate!

Adorned by cover art from vocalist Matias Stenman, 13th June will see new album “Vitruvian Rays” by Sargassus rise from the black lagoon courtesy of Inverse Records. The third and final advanced listen to the Finnish Progressive Death Metal acts new disease comes in the form of “Pahat Veräjät” (or “Evil Gates“) with the band explaining the meaning behind the story…

The band comment: “”Pahat Veräjät’ is the third and final single before the release of the ‘Vitruvian Rays’  album. The song is both a departure from the band’s usual modus operandi, as it is sung in Finnish, as well as a return to the roots, featuring long atmospheric passages with  progressive chord structures. As the song kicks off with ultra-fast blast beats, there is a definite nod towards extreme metal as well. ‘Pahat Veräjät’ (‘The Bad Gates’ in english) references the gates of Tuonela, the cold underworld of Finnish mythology. It tells the story of a journey through the wilderness between the living and the dead, asking the listener if a life’s worth can (or should) be measured in wealth, as all material possession will eventually be left behind”
