VINTERSEA Bring the Beauty and the Brutal Together on New Song “Unveiling Light”
Quickly following up on the debut single/video from the forthcoming highly anticipated new album from VINTERSEA, the Portland-based quintet return with “Unveiling Light.” The next song not only sates devoted fans but also bates them with the group’s penchant for harnessing progressive, melodic and blackened tendencies into a sweltering new track.
“When we set out to write this album, we challenged ourselves to make the brutal music heavier, and the beautiful music more breathtaking,” shares guitarist Riley Nix. “What I didn't know is that we would be doing both on the same song! ‘Unveiling Light’ highlights the extremes of what we do, and I think it is going to stick with people in a very primal way.”
As has become customary for VINTERSEA the new single is complemented by a top-notch music video, directed once again by bassist Karl Whinnery. The new clip can be viewed HERE while the digital single is available on all streaming/download platforms
"’Unveiling Light’ kicks our new album off in proper fashion so we knew we wanted the video to match that vibe - chaotic, dissonant, and full of intense energy - but with splashes of beauty and depth,” tells Karl. “As far as our songs go, the song is pretty stripped down, so we wanted to match that with the video and keep it focused on performance. We took full advantage of the gnarly warehouse we filmed in, and had a blast with the Texas Chainsaw sliding door and Hellraiser chains!”
“Unveiling Light” follows “At the Gloaming Void” both giving evidence of new album’s combination of many genres into a melodic, progressive and oftentimes blackened brand of metal that is undeniably inspired by the majesty of the Pacific Northwest. The highly anticipated ‘Woven Into Ashes” is the third full offering from the Portland-based outfit, marking their first new music since their notable 2019 release, ‘Illuminated,’ an album that turned many heads and remains a favorite for fans and a consistent seller for the M-Theory label.
