The track will be included on the band's forthcoming EP, “Volume III”, which is set to drop on Dec. 13th. Check out the new video: The band's Emily Lazar (September) says, “When we set out to make a video for 'Hiding From Heaven,' we strived for a visual presentation that would represent the project in a creative manner. September Mourning is a trans-media project, meaning its concept is forged by a storyline that permeates throughout different mediums of art.

Dark Station Releases New Video Inspired by the Movie Venom for Fourth Single "Villain"

Dark Station has released a new video for their fourth single "Villain" off of their anticipated debut album "Down in the Dark" set to release October 25, 2019. The single, as well as the video, was inspired by the movie Venom. The video can be seen here: www.darkstationband.com  and below: "Villain is 100 percent about the character Eddie Brock and his relationship with Venom. It's about how they had to accept and compromise on this new way of living, but I think people will relate it to things that are important to them. This song means the most to me, because while we were writing the song, I really started to believe in myself again as well as Dark Station." says Nathan Spades (vocals) on what "Villain" was written about. Kyle Ort adds, "Since the lyrics were inspired by the movie Venom, we wanted to keep the same feel for the video. The video starts out with this darkness taking over Nathan, eventually leading him to

BLIND GUARDIAN's TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA launch official lyric for new single 'Point Of No Return'

Promising to be one of the most ambitious projects in metal history, BLIND GUARDIAN's forthcoming release will be well worth the wait. The idea of recording an orchestral album originally formed in the minds of the two leading lights of the BLIND GUARDIAN universe - guitarist André Olbrich and singer Hansi Kürsch - during the 1990's when BLIND GUARDIAN started to use orchestral elements to enhance their opulent sound. The monumental project started to take shape over recent years, and mirroring its epic sound cascades, the lyrical concept was developed. To create the concept, Andrè and Hansi worked alongside German bestselling author Markus Heitz, whose latest novel Die dunklen Lande was released on March 1st, 2019. The book is set in 1629 and contains the prequel to BLIND GUARDIAN TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA's opus Legacy Of The Dark Lands, which will be out on November 8th, 2019. To give their fans a first taster of the new album, the band is proud to present the first sin
