BURIED REALM Shreds With Christopher Amott On "Futuristic Hollow Nation"

BURIED REALM, the boundary-pushing melodic death metal project led by Josh Dummer, proudly unveils their latest single and lyric video, "Futuristic Hollow Nation," from their upcoming album The Dormant Darkness. This new track, featuring Christopher Amott, is a profound exploration of emotional isolation and existential void, set to the backdrop of the band's darkest and most intense soundscapes yet.

Josh Dummer shares insights into the creation of the single: "When I started working on 'Futuristic Hollow Nation,' I was driven by a heavy riff that demanded a tuning lower than any of my usual setups could handle. After discovering a baritone guitar from Solar, I knew it was the missing piece needed to give life to the deep, resonant sound I envisioned. This same guitar was instrumental in crafting the album's title track as well."

The track underwent various transformations, especially in its chorus and bridge, thanks to a collaboration with Christian, a fellow musician. Together, they reimagined these sections to enhance the song's impact and memorability. The result is a chorus that captures the essence of the track's haunting theme, elevated by the striking blend of industrial and cinematic orchestration.
