Ceresian Valot, a band born out of the ashes of Ghost Brigade, releases a visualiser for the next single, "Valojuovat" ("Tracers") taken from the forthcoming debut full-length, Uumen (Depths). The first album of the Finnish dark heavy alternative band has been scheduled for release on 23 May via Prophecy Productions.
The guitarist and main songwriter Wille Naukkarinen comments: "The new advance single 'Valojuovat' is one of the most recent songs that I wrote for Uumen and my personal favourite on this album. I don't have much to tell about the composition process, because this was one of those rare cases where the song basically wrote itself. The instrumental version was completed pretty quickly. It's a mix of prog and melancholia, showcasing both our quieter and heavier side in a very melodic way. I recommend to listen to 'Valojuovat' with your eyes closed."
Panu Perkiömäki adds: "This song has strong dystopic vibes. The key idea of the song is inspired by the writing of Albert Camus. It's a song about wars and other manmade disasters. It is also a song about solving problems by changing the channel, if the news get too stressful. 'Valojuovat' does even contain some doubts about religions and their infallibility."
Although announced as a visualier, the video for "Valojuovat" features studio clips from the recording of the debut album. More about Ceresian Valot can be found over HERE. Link
