Cemetery Skyline (Dark Tranquility, Dimmu Borgir, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “Torn Away.” This track is from the band’s new album “Nordic Gothic,” which will be released on October 11.
Vocalist Mikael Stanne said the following about the single:
“This is a song about willful disconnection from everything and everyone and its eventual ramifications. Written very early in the band’s lifecycle, this song set much of the tone of what the album would become.”
He also added the following about filming the video at the John Smith Rock Festival in Laukaa, Finland:
“It was supercool. This festival forced us into this. They said: ‘We want you!’ and we said: ‘Okay!’. For me, the highlight was that I could be on stage with Markus, Santeri, Victor and Vesa. We have known each other for 20+ years, but none of us have ever been on stage together. I guested with Insomnium twice, that’s it.
Other than that, we have never shared the stage, which is pretty crazy in my book. Just seeing Vesa Ranta playing drums warmed my heart and made me so happy. Markus is the fucking best, Victor is a long-time friend of mine and one of my neighbors back home and Santeri going nuts – that meant a lot to me and made this experience so much fun. We were all there, everybody was equally excited and then we could relax and celebrate accordingly after the show, which was fantastic.”
