Revered German blackgaze band HERETOIR has revealed the 2nd single, "Season of Grief," from their awaited, fourht album, Solastalgia, that's out September 19th via AOP Records. The 10 minute epic soundscape blends lush atmospheric guitars with intense driving riffs and blackened rhythm; a signature sound the band has long been praised for. The song is paired with an equally profound video created by Martin Vrigsjö Staflin with live footage from Kevin Storm and Alexander Bahr. 

Commenting on the new song, the band states: 

"When we think about how modern humanity treats the natural world and also how humanity treats each other, the general feeling is one of sadness and anger - and grief. Grief for every living being suffering from our ways. 

In the name of technological progress humanity is consuming even the last remaining intact ecosystems. Many people, especially in the global North, believe that established economic systems, capitalism, and globalized industrial civilization represent humanity's greatest achievement.

We actually find little to admire in this - huge numbers of people live in inhumane conditions, animals are degraded to commodities, primeval forests are clearcut for wood production and to make room for agriculture... the list is endless.

We hope that this track resonates with many of you, especially in this challenging time, where everything feels more unstable than ever.

Thank you for your never ending support and love - we don't take it for granted."
