Royal Sorrow released catchy new single and video “Evergreen”

Royal Sorrow, who received a lot of attention with their debut single “Metrograve” late last year, are starting the new year with the single “Evergreen”. The new release continues the band’s powerful songs on the waves of progressive melodic metal, following the path blazed by VOLA, Sleep Token, Leprous and Tesseract, among others.

Evergreen‘s lyrics explore themes of feelings of control and mastery. How much is too much?

“It is very common for us humans to stubbornly try to control situations, relationships and events to such an extent that they eventually become toxic and harmful. The feeling of control brings security in our own insecurity, but it can also lead to complete collapse. The title of the song Evergreen reflects healing from our own destructive behavior patterns. Water must flow”, the band formulates.

A spectacular music video for “Evergreen” was also released today, directed by Altti Heinilä.

Royal Sorrow creates a sound that is characteristic of the band for Evergreen; a hypnotic mix of heavy riffs and catchy melodies. The song was very different when Eero brought it to others.

“Evergreen started out as a very different, soulful pop song that Eero co-wrote with Helsinki musician Aino Tikkanen. The song had a lot of potential for a heavier arrangement and the band’s handling of the song gave it a new life. The end result was a successful mix of ethereal atmosphere and heavy prog rock riffs!”

Royal Sorrow signed an international recording deal with InsideOutMusic, part of the Sony Music label family, last year, and the band is heading to international stages with British concert sales company Atonal Music Agency. In Finland, the band’s concerts are sold by Nem Agency.
