December 12, 2025 marks a new chapter in the journey of FOR MY DEMONS, a progressive dark metal band known as one of the most elegant and conceptually profound acts in the Italian alternative scene. The new single ‘9 Weeks’, released by Volcano Records & Promotion and available on all digital platforms, comes with a lyric video rich in symbolism and visual intensity, now streaming on the band’s official YouTube channel.
9 Weeks is a fragment of light and madness taken from the concept album Tristesse, inspired by the tormented life of Vincent van Gogh. The song tells the story of the nine weeks the painter spent in the famous Yellow House in Arles, where his encounter with Paul Gauguin soon turned into conflict, rupture, and silence. A crucial moment shaped by contrasting visions, colliding souls, art, and obsession. Musically, the track blends melodic elegance with narrative tension in a distinctive style that evokes the dark, introspective atmosphere of Katatonia, Soen, and Dream Theater, while filtered through a deeply personal sensibility. With its symbolic lyrical structure and layered musical composition, 9 Weeks stands as one of the most mature and expressive pieces by the band, uniting storytelling and emotional suggestion in a sonic form that transcends labels.
