Progressive black metal duo OBSIDIAN TONGUE is now unleashing the official music video for the melodic new single, "To Forgive Oneself". The song is taken from the band's forthcoming opus, Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn, which is due on May 30, 2025 via Profound Lore Records. The video was created by Stephanie Sintra and can be found on KNAC.COM HERE.
The band comments, "One of the ways we conceptualized on the album title was to split the two halves of the album into two different moods: 'Outer Scorn' and 'Inner Scorn', respectively. Projecting hate outwards vs. inwards. "To Forgive Oneself" opens the 'Inner Scorn' half of the album, which in general is more melodic, pensive, and overtly emotional than the first half of the album. Simply stared, the song is about depression. The desperation for a resolution and the vast inner search for the elusive ability to grant yourself compassion."
In addition, OBSIDIAN TONGUE has recently announced 'FRAILTY & SCORN', eight performances of black metal intensity this June alongside WOE. The trek will kick off on June 6 in Long Island City, NY and will make its way throughout the East Coast until the final stop on June 13 in Providence, RI. The tour will not only celebrate the release of OBSIDIAN TONGUE's upcoming studio album, but also will bring both bands back to many cities they have not visited in nearly a decade. Show pre-orders will begin soon as well as local support announcements. The full itinerary can be found below!
Comprised of multi-instrumentalist Brendan Hayter (Thrawsunblat/Obsequiae live) and drummer Raymond Capizzo (Falls Of Rauros/Panopticon live), OBSIDIAN TONGUE returned to the all-analog Mystic Valley Studio, where their first two records were made, to print their Covid-era home sessions onto two-inch tape. Mixed and mastered in the analog domain as well by Alex Garcia-Rivera, Eclipsing Worlds of Scorn boasts a unique and unmistakable sonic force amidst the modern digital landscape; created with a total absence of click tracks, quantization, or sound replacement of any kind.
