Atmospheric doommetallers Trees of Eternityreveal an animated lyric video for the track "Hour of the Nightingale." The song is the title track to the band's highly anticipated debut album 'Hour of the Nightingale'now set for international release on November 25th via Svart Records.Created by Constin Chioreanu, the lyric video for Trees of Eternity's "Hour of the Nightingale" can be viewed HERE.
Born out of the partnership of singer-songwriter Aleah Starbridge and guitarist-composer Juha Raivio, Trees of Eternity began as a quiet acoustic collaboration but then sprouted into a full band, with the Norrman brothers (ex-Katatonia, October Tide) on stringed instruments and the ubiquitous Kai Hahto on drums.
Three years of work on the group's debut album were tragically cut short this spring when Aleah passed away during the album's final post-production phase. The work is now finished, and Svart Records are proud to present it to the world to honor the legacy and artistry of Aleah Starbridge. Cover art is by the incomparable Fursy Teyssier (Les Discrets). Juha and Fursy had long nightly conversations about the ethereal magic of Aleah, and Fursy's work manages to capture the essence of the album perfectly. "The art contains such power and calm beauty, so many hidden messages," comments Juha Raivio."It is mystical in the same way that Aleah always was."
"This is a celebration of the music, lyrics and life of Aleah, who so tragically and suddenly crossed the bridge of stars and left this world so young and so early," Raivio continues."There really are no words to describe the ultimate weight of the darkness, or the rays of the brightest of light that this album holds within its songs and lyrics. In so many ways, this album turned out to be the most important album I've done in my life, and we both loved it from the first note to the last as we wrote it."
Concluding, he beams:
"We were very proud to record Hour of the Nightingaletogether with our friends, bandmates, and amazing musiciansKai Hahto, Mattias, and Fredrik Norrman, who all played their hearts out on this album. And working with another good friend in Jens Bogren producing, recording, mixing, and mastering the album, we're ready to take this music to the world and play it to you all. Sadly, that never happened! But this is the point where we can finally start this long journey and celebrate our Queen Aleah Starbridge, whose words and music will live forever on."
