Belgian doom metallers AKEM MANAH have released a brand new lyric video for “The Sleep of Eve Saldana”, another haunting track taken from their forthcoming full-length album “Threnodies”, due out on April 3 via Black Lion Records.
Following previously unveiled singles such as “The End of Earnest Hollow” and “The Burning of John Briggs”, the new track ventures further into AKEM MANAH’s shadow-drenched world of doom-laden storytelling.
“Eve Saldana sought eternity in love and beauty, but was betrayed and received suffering beyond
reckon in a premature burial“, the band comments. “Her ‘sleep’ is a liminal dream between death and awakening, her body decaying in the grave she had made. The track merges sorrow with horror, a keening for those who long for transcendence, yet are greeted by bleak persistence“.
Tracklist:
1.The Inevitable Fate of Francis Cobb (Intro)
2.The End of Earnest Hollow
3. The Mystery of Mosef Mehul
4.The Burning of John Briggs
5.The Journey of Nathaniel Johnson
6.The Undoing of an Unknown (Interlude)
7.The Fall of Maximillian Montagne
8.The Sleep of Eve Saldana
9.The Demise of John Dunn
10.The Hanging of Edward Hope (Outro)
Featuring ten brand new tracks, “Threnodies” unfolds as a cycle of human unraveling: ten dirges for those who sought the truth behind the world, only to find the abyssal chaos staring back. Each song recounts a different descent into forbidden knowledge, madness and death of men and women who, out of grief, faith, or hunger for meaning, reached too far into the Mythos. Their stories are not about monsters but about the human need to see beyond the illusion of order, and the silence that answers.
Musically, “Threnodies” draws from doom and black metal’s bleak cadence, but with an overt horror tone. A lament sung from within the void rather than against it. Every track is a threnody in the ancient sense, namely a song for the dead, and for what in us dies when we understand too much.
The album was edited, mixed and mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima at Tower Studio and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION.
