Withered Land Releases New Single/Video – Da Zorau
‘Da Zorau’ is the brand new track/music video from Withered Land (Atmospheric Black/Doom Metal from the creator of Monumentum Damnati and Astannie). It comes from the third conceptual full-length album “Piesni Vietru” by the one-woman project, which is out on November 27th via Immortal Frost Productions on all digital streamings, cds and vinyls in 2 colors.
The album is inspired primarily by themes of death, nature, dark folklore of Belarus and homesickness.
About the album, Withered Land explains:
A man sets out on a journey, driven by the wind, which brings him the sounds of distant lands. Trying to decipher the signs of fate and the call of distant worlds, he increasingly loses himself. Life passes, his thirst remains unquenched. The end of his journey approaches. He has seen much, but the bitterness of regret for wasted years hangs heavy and refuses to let go. Having passed through the valley of sorrow, he hears the song of the wind for the last time, but it remains a final chord hanging in the air, enveloping his soul as it soars toward the stars.
There’s a cultural term called “Slavic melancholy”. This is exactly the mood that this album aims to convey. A lingering, oppressive feeling of being out of place, in the wrong time, surrounded by the wrong people. It’s like you’re walking your own path, completely alone, surrounded by decay, abandoned villages, overgrown paths, and sagging, rotting houses. In contrast, wild nature triumphs in its splendor, heralding victory over human civilization. Here, the archaic triumphs over values.
