Sisyphean release "Through Corrosion"

Following a successful 17-date European tour in 2022 with Mgla and Ulcerate in support of the release of their well-received sophomore album “Colours of Faith”, Lithuanian atmospheric black metal act Sisyphean return with a mind-bending and thought-provoking single and lyric video.

Entitled “Through Corrosion”, the single is out now on all digital platforms via Transcending Obscurity Records. The single alsos includes a live version of the track “Hearts of Mercury” which was recorded at the Mercury Booking showcase in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2021.

The band comments: “After releasing Colours of Faith last year, we focused on gigging activities and the live presentation of the album. However, creativity is a constant effort in Sisyphean, and we have a new single: “Through Corrosion” is a song that we played live in a lot of recent gigs, so some of the audience might already be familiar with it”.

“Through Corrosion” explores the neural basis of self, which is the idea of using neuroscience to understand the biological processes of our perception of self-understanding. Lyrically, the track also explores cognition and dissolution of self through violent, yet not always visible processes.

The vocalist Dainius adds: “Musically, “Through Corrosion” is quite straight-forward and moving, so the lyrics reflect this quality by being very physical and somatic. In the broad sense, the human condition is the main poetic topic within the band, but this time there is little space for metaphysics and abstraction.”
