Finland's melancholic gothic/doom ensemble Hanging Garden will release its new four-track EP, The Unending, on 14 March 2025 via Agonia Records. The EP - its first single is coming in January - bridges the band's last album, The Garden (2023), and the new one, currently in preproduction.
Delving deeper into the rituals, beliefs and existential concepts intrinsic to the nature of humanity and its cultures, Hanging Garden continues the thematic continuum of its previous full-length, The Garden. The Unending EP is a four-song entity whose thematic focal points are perseverance and the occult - of returning to harmony with nature and the remorseless forces. Once again, an aesthetic interplay between light and darkness, dissonance and harmony, serenity and ferocity, Hanging Garden's novel musical work seeks to provide the listener with a journey through emotion and spirituality, through their meadows and wastelands, and onwards into the collective soul of humanity.
The Unending was produced by Jussi Hämäläinen and Jarno Hänninen and mixed and mastered by Jarno Hänninen at D-studio. The cover art and layout is by Kalle Pyyhtinen. Link
