With “To My Only Son”, Swedish death metal legends UNLEASHED unveil one of the most emotionally resonant tracks of their career. Taken from the upcoming album, Fire Upon Your Lands, out this Friday, August 15 via Napalm Records, the song delivers a powerful farewell from father to son — a call to courage, independence, and the strength to carry on when all else fades. Driven by weighty mid-tempo riffs, solemn melodies, and Johnny Hedlund’s unmistakable growl, the track stands apart as a slow-burning, mournful standout in the band’s otherwise relentless assault. It’s not about glory — it’s about legacy. “To My Only Son” slows only to strike deeper, its haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. A haunting prelude to the firestorm that is Fire Upon Your Lands, this track shows UNLEASHED at their most reflective — and their most commanding. UNLEASHED on “To My Only Son”:
“In Miklagard, with the allied forces – the Varangians, and a well-needed rest, a warrior, who has minutes left to live, writes a letter with his last words to his only son, knowing that they will never meet again. Urging him to be brave and face the world, to become the hero that he can be. And… let go of his father…” |
