Recorded at Mastersound Studio under the production of band mastermind Alexander Krull, the four-track release opens with the title track and its accompanying epic video, drawing its narrative from the Icelandic saga of Gisli the Outlaw, a world of intrigue, guilt-ridden dreams, and the fragile hope of redemption.<\/p>\n<p>The EP showcases the full range of what Leaves\u2019 Eyes do best. Elina Siirala\u2019s commanding soprano anchors the orchestral sweep while Krull\u2019s growls provide raw counterweight, with towering choirs, crushing riffs, and folk-inspired melodies woven throughout. \u201cSong of Darkness is like a play with contrasts,\u201d Siirala says. \u201cIt combines the mysterious and dark with light and angelic. In the midst of a dark story, there\u2019s a feeling of hopefulness.\u201d Krull frames it more directly: \u201cA tragic love story, but no happy ending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each of the EP\u2019s four tracks unfolds like a saga chapter, cinematic in scale and personal in emotional weight. With more than two decades of symphonic and Viking metal behind them, Leaves\u2019 Eyes arrive at \u2018Song Of Darkness\u2019 as one of the genre\u2019s most visionary and consistently compelling forces, and the EP signals a full-length record to follow.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Song Of Darkness\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7EaXelAWA9A48KtbJBcNWk?si=TxYRWBa-T1Ky1r7atOVBrg&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thatericalper.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myth, murder, and medieval Iceland collide on Leaves\u2019 Eyes\u2019 new EP \u2018Song Of Darkness\u2019, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.
