| Following on from the majestic melancholy of first single, ‘Without The I‘, Finnish doom death duo The Bleak Picture have unveiled another beautiful track from their upcoming album Shades Of Life. ‘Silent Exit‘ is an epic track that takes the listener through stages of transformation, allowing them to drift through the spaces within it and experience the song in their own individual way. It’s a masterfully handled piece, musically and lyrically accomplished and emotive. Hear it now at the Ardua Music Youtube channel. Speaking about ‘Silent Exit’, The Bleak Picture’s vocalist and lyricist, Tero Ruohonen said:
“‘Silent Exit’ can be seen as a spiritual successor to ‘Prisoner Of Your Own Sins‘ from the debut album Meaningless. While not a direct continuation, the themes and lyrical ideas are closely intertwined. Both songs delve into how people often weaponize others’ mistakes, sins, or shortcomings, rather than seeking to understand the deeper circumstances that led to those actions. Instead of offering empathy, they choose to judge and condemn – digging the ground out from beneath the individual rather than extending a hand. Tragically, this lack of compassion can all too often lead to a single, irreversible outcome.” Immaculately mastered by Javier Fernandez (TodoMal), a myriad of treasures can be found within the richly textured sound of Shades Of Life. Yet again Ardua Music have unerringly allied themselves with one of the very finest forces in the world of dark, doomed and emotive music – and on June 27th you will be invited to enter the sombre society of The Bleak Picture’s Shades Of Life.
