Svarta Havet release new single 'Alla Sover' out now ahead of their forthcoming album.
Svarta Havet hail from Turku, Finland. The long nights of their geographical location has bled into the band's sound, resulting in beautiful but gloomy black metal tinged post-hardcore. This single is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album, titled 'Månen Ska Lysa Din Väg', via their new label home Prosthetic Records on May 9th.
The band has this to say about their lead single:
"Alla sover portrays a sort of grotesque party on a speeding train at the potential end of the world.
“Fill up the champagne glasses, let us toast to the final hour!”
It is about most things being pretty firmly on the road to ruin, no climate targets are being met, over 70 000 tons of explosives have been dumped on Gaza since October of 2023. Alla sover describes the feeling of being a privileged citizen of today's world - someone that has never known true strife because of the luck of being born into privilege in the Global North, but who instead has to live with the fact that we and our lifestyle are a large contributing factor to how the world looks today. Alla sover deals with this feeling of complicity and powerlessness. The song ends in some sort of collapse where the protagonist lays down on the rails after the last train of partiers has left, making a last plea to the birds to keep singing." -Lotta
