NEWS: Segmentia feel the burn…

Ambassadors of melancholic Metal Segmentia have dropped a second single from their still undated debut album in “Nuclear Sun”. The song plays with contrasts: delicate guitars give way to epic soundscapes while moods of hope and despair alternate. It also has an almost cinematic quality and is built upon Power Metal foundations in a nostalgic tribute to songwriter Jere Luokkamäki’s years with Celesty.

Drummer Jere Luokkamäki: “For me as a composer, Nuclear Sun was the moment I stopped being cautious about my power metal background. I laid the foundation for the song on a work trip to Kajaani. The wintry surroundings of the small town and the soldiers on the streets once again got me thinking about the state of the world and how we treat this planet. At times humanity seems determined to bring disaster upon itself, and that is the feeling I wanted to bring into the song”

Vocalist Kansana:  “Jere’s song was clearly an ode to nature, and it fell to me to finish the unfinished lyrics. The melody is at times almost cheerful, but it is above all the lyrics that underline the deep despair that so often consumes me as well”

Tomi Salminen of Tojusa Media, who produced the music video: “The setting of the video continues to root the band in the atmosphere of Southern Ostrobothnia. In Before the Dawn, the first music video of the trilogy, dawn was only just breaking. Now the core of the sun blazes in the sky at full force in the Nuclear Sun video, leaving no one untouched”
