Finland’s melancholic goth doomsters Hanging Garden share another preview from their upcoming EP »The Unending« – out March 14th on Agonia Records – in the form of a new single and music video, »The Passage«.

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.

Hanging Garden was brought to life in 2004 with an early style that encompassed heavy, doom-oriented metal music. Roughly two decades, seven albums and a couple of line-up shuffles later, the Finns shifted to a more melodic, contemporary sound, which is rooted in dark atmosphere, and leans towards open-minded and playful musicality. While still entrenched in metal, Hanging Garden possesses a versatile, many-layered style of playing, male & female vocals, and draws influence & inspiration from music and art, far and wide. The group may appeal to fans of Swallow The Sun, Ghost Brigade, October Tide, Katatonia or Type O Negative.
