Finnish melancholic melodic metal band Scars of Solitude released new studio album ‘Under Disheartening Skies‘ via Inverse Records.
The album has been released on digital music services and also as limited 300 pieces CD and as 200 pieces 12″ vinyl pressings.
This is the first full length album with the current line-up.
After the 2021 experimental EP ‘If These Walls Could Talk‘ it was natural to expect more focused and more carefully produced album entirety.
Now the band operates on it’s strongest ground even though the album posesses vivid musical versatility.
The atmosphere of the album is melancolic and the palet contains mainly different shades of desperation.
For the first time the album also features guest artists as songwriters.
The ending track of the album was made in collaboration with Machine Men & Psychework guitarist J-V Hintikka and ‘The Arsonist’ features SoS guitar player Jasperi Ranta-Nilkku’s brother Julius as co-writer.
Album atwork is made by Lotta Ruutiainen (Luna Kills).

Finnish band Scars of Solitude has released the final single from their forthcoming album ‘Under Disheartening Skies’, set to be released on October 11th, 2024.
The slightly progressive title track features catchy melodies, tasteful drumming and even a jazzy guitar solo.
The lyrics address the current state of the world and the loss of hope for a better tomorrow.
The band’s vocalist and guitarist Tuomo Laulainen shares some thoughts on the single and the upcoming album:
“How are we supposed to dream and have hope when the news outlets, social media and even our dreams are filled with nightmares? We wrote the ‘Under Disheartening Skies’ album during 2021-2023. We all know the horrors the world has witnessed during this time and it doesn’t really seem to be getting much better, does it? Well, I won’t need to use much imagination to come up with depressive topics when writing lyrics for the next album—if we ever get to release one.”
