The album “Mentes Reae” by Finnish melodic death metal band Hagalas will be released via Inverse Records on May 31, 2024, as a physical edition, and will be available on streaming platforms as a whole in early autumn 2024. The timely theme of the album, depicting the multifaceted aspects of mental health, also resonates in the newly released track. The message of the song revolves around the continuous search for meaning in human life, and how at the end, the character of the story realizes that their life has been spent chasing meaningless pursuits, and the time given has been questionably utilized. Perhaps the message is to do something with your life before it’s too late.
The song is available on streaming platforms, and a lyric video has been created, which can be viewed on Inverse Records’ and the band’s channels.
