Sinisthra (con Tomi Joutsen degli Amorphis): il nuovo singolo ‘Eterne’

I finlandesi Sinisthra, che vedono il cantante Tomi Joutsen degli Amorphis tra le proprie fila, hanno pubblicato il nuovo singolo e video di ‘Eterne‘,  brano estratto dal nuovo album “The Broad and Beaten Way” in uscita il prossimo 15 Maggio su Rockshots Records.

Il batterista Erkki Virta commenta il brano: ‘“Eterne’ è il brano più diretto dell’ album, totalmente all’ opposto del primo singolo ‘Closely Guarded Distance’. E’ il primo brano del disco e mette le basi per ciò che avviene in seguito, l’espulsione dall’ Eden e tutte le cose che inevitabilmente cambiano. Il video è stato girato in una casa in rovina che era la mia casa da bambino. Questo solidifica il fatto che le cose non possono essere cambiate anche se qualche eco del passato rimane lo stesso.”

About:
SINISTHRA comes from Finland and has been in various stages of existence since 1999. Their style of music is basically metal, drawing from a wide source of different influences and blending them to a sound that can’t really be compared to any one single band. Always quite melancholic, most of the time quite heavy, and often with strong shades of 70’s prog with lesser shades of 90’s grunge.

The name SINISTHRA derives from the Italian word sinistra, meaning “the left side” and representing the allegory of creativity, femininity, individuality and general free-thinking pathways of the Left Hand, without the hollow “satanic” or any other religious connotations. The lyrics veer away from most commonly used themes and focus heavily on more personal and intimate subjects. Sinisthra is all about contrasts, frail yet crushing, sad yet content, silent but roaring. Melancholy without utter despair. Darkness tinged with light. Gravel covered with honey. The only dogma is never to acknowledge musical boundaries, and never to use the words “love” and “death” in the lyrics.

The band released one album in 2005, called “Last Of The Stories Of Long Past Glories” to favourable reviews and got labeled “gothic metal”, somewhat misleadingly, but as the singer Tomi Joutsen joined Amorphis, his career skyrocketed and Sinisthra’s didn’t, so due to lack of time from his part, things slowed down.

Now Sinisthra has completed their second album “The Broad And Beaten Way” and are ready to finally release it. The road has been long, winding and mostly uphill, and promises to remain so in the future as well.
