Today, German goth / industrial metallers Soulbound reveal the new video “Forever in the Dark,” the third single from the band’s forthcoming new studio album obsYdian, which will be released internationally on July 26th via Metalville Records.
For lovers of dark soundscapes Soulbound present a goth rock masterpiece with “Forever in the Dark,” from obsYdian. This track, produced by Chris Harms of Lord of The Lost, explores universal feelings of loss, pain, and despair with a compelling melody, culminating in a heavy acceptance of hopelessness. Soulbound once again demonstrate their ability to create emotional landscapes that transcend music.
The official video for “Forever in the Dark” can be seen & heard HERE at Soulbound‘s official YouTube channel.
With dark elegance, full of reflection and with a certain harshness, this new album represents musically content and symbolically represents Soulbound‘s journey through the last years – a journey through a spectrum of intense themes. These range from the intense confrontation with the musicians’ own inner demons to socially critical observations that continue to confront them with clear clarity about the serious consequences associated with these consequences, through to deep, introspective reflections on various personal themes, such as the subject of parting.
obsYdian for Soulbound stands for the cathartic experiences they have had as a band, but also individually. Come along and accompany them on their musical journey. The musicians have realized that, in the fact that confronting their own inner conflicts not only provides challenges, but can be found also comfort and understanding. The songs on obsYdian serve Soulbound like a multifaceted mirror, which, in the process of confrontation, shows us both the band’s dark sides as well as the possibilities for healing and protection – in the spirit of the protective properties that are attributed to the dark properties that the dark stone obsidian is said to have.
Soulbound see in the symbolism obsidian a perfect metaphor for their work as musicians: dark, mysterious, reflective, protective, transformative, clear and honest, deep and strong. obsYdian is not just an album for them; it is an expression of their development, their way of seeing.
