NEWS: Progeny of Sun strike three with “Forsaken Brigade”!

Inverse Records promise that “Forsaken Brigade” is the third and final pre-release single from the upcoming second studio album “Prophets of the Void” from Finnish Blackened Death Metal band Progeny of Sun so make the most of it. The album drops on 5th September as the sequel to 2023’s “Throne of Desolation” having been mixed in house by guitarist Jaakko Hautamäki before being mastered by Jonathan Mazzeo (Vitimas, First Fragment, Get The Shot) at The Grid.

Guitarist Jaakko Hautamäki comments: Joni [Kiviniemi, Guitar] pondered the matter long and hard: Would anyone notice if he added some melody and triplets for Pepe [Juha Peura, Drums]? Pepe noticed the wrongdoing, but the new armchair was far too comfortable to get up from. Joni performed his secret rituals, pulled out the best lead section from his sleeve, and in his usual sadistic fashion, placed it only once at the end of the track. “It can’t only come once!” Everyone agreed – we were left yearning for a climax worthy of the end of the album. After hundreds of consultants were discussed with, nevertheless the solution was spontaneously invented in the studio: “Just throw in some double bass or something to make it last longer.” Tuomo [Tolkki, Bass] could not believe his ears when he got the finished work on his desk. It was too soft and honeyed; it lacked coldness and mechanicalness completely. This was immediately corrected by adding icy echoes and scooped frequency curves. Niko [Aromaa, Vocals] approved the changes.”
