In anticipation of their upcoming Scandinavian run with labelmates Sonata Arctica, Swedish symphonic metallers Tungsten have unveiled a new single, taken from their upcoming album “The Grand Inferno”, due on October 18th, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). Children’s voices from a world beyond introduce “Lullaby”, an infectious track which turns into a driving, industrial-dominated hit song full of vengeance and regret. Its chilling vibe comes to life in another music video directed by Tungsten guitarist/backing vocalist Niklas “Nick” Johansson.
Tungsten declare:
“It’s about a mother who sacrifices her own child to a herd of unknowing beings to stay forever young, but her story takes a dark turn as the child returns from the grave and brings revenge for the things she had done to her as the lullaby she sang for her child is sung forevermore by the child.”
About the music video recording they add:
“The place we rented to film the band scenes for the music video was very strange and spooky. Small trees and bushes were growing on the third floor in a big warehouse room…green moss covered the ground…overall a fun but kinda nasty experience.”
