Swedish symphonic metal visionaries ZORNHEYM unleash the third single, "The Funeral March", taken from the band’s upcoming studio album Descending Into Madness, set for release on October 2 via Noble Demon.
Inspired by Frédéric Chopin’s legendary 'Funeral March', the new track sees ZORNHEYM merging crushing riffs, cinematic orchestration and subtle Scandinavian folk influences into one of the album’s most dramatic and emotionally charged moments.
"'The Funeral March' is the perfect marriage between classical music and Zornheym’s cinematic symphonic metal sound,” the band explains. "The choir takes on the role of mourners and pallbearers, lamenting the tragic fate of Dr. Bettelheim’s beloved wife as they accompany her final journey. Lyrically, the song marks the defining moment in Dr. Bettelheim’s descent into madness, as grief, guilt and despair finally consume him."
