Finnish dark metal masters Soulfallen will release their long-awaited fourth studio album, Uncharted Plains, on November 20th via Inverse Records. The new album continues in the vein of Soulfallen’s signature melodic, heavy, and atmospheric metal style but steers the band’s sound in an even darker and more diverse direction. The record comprises of just seven tracks, with an average duration well exceeding six minutes.
The band is releasing a third and final taste of the upcoming album. The third single is titled “A Promise Of Storm,” and the accompanying music video can be viewed below. The track represents the calmer side of the album.

“Work on the new album took a long time, and the tracks evolved into long—and even longer—compositions. The songs roll forward as a heavy mass, and this unhurried album invites the listener to pause and even find a sense of calm while experiencing it. It serves as a welcome counterpoint and antithesis to the hectic pace of modern society—where boredom sets in instantly unless something spectacular is constantly happening. Unlike much contemporary music, the songs here tell a cohesive story that unfolds chronologically from track to track across the entire album. The narrative is set in the aftermath of the ‘apocalypse trilogy’ featured on the previous albums; in this chapter, the narrator brings itself to life through sheer willpower within a completely dead world. The story will conclude on the next album—which, hopefully, won’t take another ten years to arrive. In A Promise Of Storm, the entity’s consciousness has awakened, and it moves toward the threshold of existence and the storm of creation,” explains vocalist and lyricist Kai Leikola.
The album cover and tracklist are included below. The cover art was created by Jyväskylä-based artist Lilli Salminen.
