DEPRESSED MODE
released single/video
‘Suffer in Darkness’
Finnish symphonic doom/death metal band Depressed Mode is set to release a new EP ‘Words of Death’ later in 2023 via Inverse Records.
The first single ‘Suffer in Darkness’ is a re-recorded version from the ‘Ghost of Devotion’ album (Firedoom Music, 2007).
Female vocals is this time sung by Gogo Melone (Aeonian Sorrow, Clouds).
Otto Salonen comments:
“‘Suffer in Darkness’ was one of the first ever tracks for Depressed Mode. It was something that created the sound for the band, and I’ve been trying to recreate the atmosphere ever since. That’s one of the reasons we’ve decided to re-record this song, and because I always felt like the song ain’t complete with its orchestrations. Now I had the time and tools to create the atmosphere once again, and it’s now enhanced. We once again hired our former drummer Marko Tommila to create drums for the whole EP, and this was the first song re-recorded.”

DEPRESSED MODE
released a new
music video
Finnish symphonic doom/death metal band Depressed Mode released a new single and music video ‘Dissociation of the Extinguished Mind’, which features Jarkko Kokko from Mors Principium Est on lead guitars.
The track is taken from their upcoming third studio album ‘Decade of Silence’ which is set to be released on May 6th 2022 via Inverse Records.
“The song is about the breakdown of the mind and how all the traumas come together into one big lump that eventually breaks into pieces. In such a situation, the person of the song no longer is able to keep it together, neither can’t find help in medication or therapy. As a solution, he develops his own world into which he dives, while traveling to the distant stars. ‘They tell me I’m cured They tell me I’m well I’m still strapped down This is my Hell.’ A video of the song describes how each of us has our own cross to carry. Sometimes it can weigh so much that you just have to let go of everything. Some survive alone or with the support of friends, and others sink into deep waters. However, it is worth remembering that no one has to be alone, and help is always available.”
says the band’s singer Otto Salonen about the content of the song.

DEPRESSED MODE
released a new single/video
‘Eternal Darkness’
Finnish symphonic doom/death metal band Depressed Mode released a new single and music video ‘Eternal Darkness’, which features Veronica Bordacchini from Fleshgod Apocalypse.
The track is taken from their upcoming third studio album ‘Decade of Silence’, which is set to be released on May 6th 2022 via Inverse Records.
Vocalist Otto Salonen comments:
“I forgot ‘Eternal Darkness’ in a desk drawer so to speak for 15 years. As I was composing for the new album I went through some old songs and this one popped up. The guys wanted instantly to work with it, so I finished the song and the rest is history. The lyrics bypass indirectly the state of the world, but it’s truly a story about darkness.”

Vocalist Otto Salonen comment:
“This song is the opening track of our upcoming album. I composed the song 12 years ago, right after our ‘..For Death’ 2009 album. We recorded a demo of this song back in 2011, and after that the band went silent. I’m really happy that we recorded it for our new album, and hope you all like it as much as we do! It represents the more death metal side of our album.”
