Sweden’s Dark Driven have dropped the video for »Through Waves Of Sand«, the latest track from their upcoming debut full-length »From The Unbeliever«, out this friday on CD, LP and digital!

Directed by Claudio Marino (Watain, Gaerea, Katatonia) and produced by Artax Film, the video is a stark, dreamlike descent, equal parts hypnotic and harrowing. »Through Waves Of Sand« showcases everything Dark Driven do best: brooding melodies, crushing riffs, and an atmosphere thick enough to drown in.

»From The Unbeliever« is available March 22nd on CD, LP, and all digital platforms!

Dark Driven comments: “The theme of the song revolves around a love story that takes a dark turn. Add a touch of witchcraft, and the scene is set.

I have known Claudio since my time as the vocalist for Corporation 187, when he played in a band called Roswell here in Linköping. Our bands shared the stage on several occasions, giving me the opportunity to witness his creative talent firsthand.

Over the years, I have followed his work closely, and when I approached him to create the video for this song, he exceeded all our expectations. His dedication and expertise truly stand out, and we couldn’t be happier with what he has delivered.”

Dark Driven’s debut doesn’t merely flirt with darkness; it inhabits it. There’s a rawness here that feels simultaneously classic and refreshingly new, blending gothic melancholy with a relentless drive. You can expect music that is as uncompromising as it is evocative, bleak yet beautiful, with a depth that demands multiple listens to fully unravel. This isn’t just an album; it’s a journey into the abyss, with Dark Driven as the dark architects leading the way.

Dark Driven’s »From The Unbeliever« isn’t here to bow to trends or polish up for radio play; this is metal for those who prefer their music with shadows intact.
