Finland’s melancholic goth doomsters Hanging Garden are premiering a music video for a new single »The First Sunrise«, lifted from the band’s upcoming EP »The Unending«, due out March 14th on Agonia. The material serves as a bridge between the band’s last album, »The Garden« (2023), and the new one, which is 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 their previous full-length album, »The Garden«. Their latest work, a mini-album bearing the name »The Unending«, is a four song entity, its thematic focal points those of perseverance and the occult, of returning to a harmony with nature and the remorseless forces therein. 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 & mastered by Jarno Hänninen at D-studio. The cover art & layout was created by Kalle Pyyhtinen.
