 Promo picture by Kristian Kipinoinen The Finnish Dark Gothic Metal band Horizon Of Aeons are set to release their debut album, "Timeless Forms Of Desolation", on 29 May 2026 via Inverse Records. The single 'Kairos', is unleashed today and it's available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/horizon-of-aeons-kairos The band comments: "The lyrics deal with the concept of deep time. The vastness of the universe challenges human perspective. Our collective cosmic history shapes the eternal harmony of our souls. We are part of the ever-flowing stream of humanity’s consciousness. Musically, this song is more up-tempo and contains unique elements compared to other Horizon of Aeons songs. It is a perfect opening track as it gives the album a good kickstart with the blasting double bass on the drums. The outro is a piece of text spoken by our technician and co-producer Kristian Kipinoinen. This text is handled more closely in the song “1846 (The Ones Beneath)”."
Horizon Of Aeons is a Dark Gothic metal band founded in 2024, bringing together seasoned musicians from the Finnish metal scene. The band consists of Miska Lehtivuori (vocals,guitar), Ville Pekkala (guitar), Pekka Venho (bass), and Pekka Jokela (drums). These members have a rich history of playing together in various bands (Fall Of The Leafe, Ablaze In Hatred, Searing Meadow, Mormânt De Snagov, Leaflet, Jackie’s Land), which laid the foundation for their cohesive and powerful sound. Horizon Of Aeons’ musical influences are as diverse as the members’ extensive backgrounds in the metal scene. Each member brings a wealth of experience from their previous bands, contributing to the band’s unique sound. Together, these musicians create a sound that is both intense and melodic, drawing from a wide array of metal subgenres. Their influences span across various styles, allowing them to craft a distinctive musical identity that is uniquely their own. This blend of experience and inspiration results in a sound that is both familiar and innovative, pushing the boundaries of Dark Gothic Metal. Horizon Of Aeons’ lyrics delve deeply into the dark and complex concept of time and its relentless progression. Their songs often explore the infinite future contrasted with the finite past, creating a haunting and introspective atmosphere. The band masterfully weaves themes of existence and memory into their music, painting vivid pictures of a world where time is both a creator and a destroyer. In addition, Horizon of Aeons touches on themes of cosmic forces, often using esoteric and mystical imagery. They explore the inherent inclinations of humanity, the seductive nature of sin, and the purifying power of darkness. This adds a layer of depth to their music, as they challenge conventional beliefs and embrace the darker aspects of existence. Overall, the band’s lyrics are a profound exploration of time, existence, and the human condition, offering listeners a journey through the infinite and the ephemeral. https://www.facebook.com/horizonofaeons https://www.instagram.com/horizonofaeons https://horizonofaeons.bandcamp.com

German Gothic Metal crew Lord Of The Lost announce new album; stream single feat. Wednesday 138/1/2026  Credit: VDPictures Lord Of The Lost’s latest journey comes to a brilliant close: with "Opvs Noir Vol. 3, the band announce the finale of their ambitious album trilogy. A direct continuation of "Opvs Noir Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which were both unveiled in 2025, it releases on 10th April 2026 and gloriously expands on the genre-defying band’s opus.
The most outside-the-box of the three, the third and final part of their latest voyage has the six-piece end this chapter of their career on a triumphant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestral sounds. On "Opvs Noir Vol. 3, another 11 enchanting songs extend the Hamburg-based band’s colourful repertoire. The final part of the trilogy is released in several editions, among them strictly limited collectibles. The first song unveiled is 'I Hate People'. Showing yet another side of themselves, Lord of The Lost team up with Wednesday 13 for the first single off the new record. The stomping industrial metal duet sets off fireworks with its theme of equality that fans love from the band. Lord Of The Lost and Wednesday 13 are aptly starting their joint North American tour on 19th January, playing 16 shows across the USA and Canada, together with The Birthday Massacre.
Following the captivating 'Blood & Glitter', which brought them to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany to go along with it, Lord Of The Lost once again demonstrate their unmatched diversity. Initiated by beautiful cello melodies, 'Kill The Lights' is an overture like no other, setting a dark mood, but also unafraid to switch it up to make room for catchy and reassuring 'I’m A Diamond' featuring Alea, frontman of German medieval metal torchbearers Saltatio Mortis. 'My Funeral', despite the name, picks up the positive message, expanding the near-gothic soundscapes while sprinkling in tongue-in-cheek lyrics, promoting black as a happy colour – wear pink to their funeral! Stomping 'I Hate People' invites horror punk icon Wednesday 13 to an industrial duet about equality, after which gentle 'The Shadows Within' hits twice as hard with its symphonic arrangement. Next, Chris Harms and parting Kissin’ Dynamite frontman Hannes Braun deliver the bombastic 'La Vie Est Hell' (based on Charles Baudelaire’s influential book of poetry, “Les Fleurs Du Mal”) partly in French language, before going back to 'Square One'. 'When Did The Love Break?' is a heartfelt song of lost love – the addition of whimsical vocals by Ambre Vourvahis of Xandria drives the emotions of this universal topic right home. After 'Your Love Is Colder Than Death', Lord Of The Lost team up with Damien Edwards of British glam rock band Cats In Space for the captivating duet 'Take Me Far Away', before the album closes with a ballad, 'The Days Of Our Lives' – the sweeping track simultaneously being the closest Lord Of The Lost have ever been to a cinematic soundtrack. The happy ending is skipped, almost making it sound like a goodbye… Opvs Noir Vol. 3 continues to walk Lord Of The Lost’s unpredictable journey without settling for the familiar. Rounding off an impressive trilogy, this record takes you by the hand and guides you along your darkest paths. Lord Of The Lost are:
