Finnish Death metal band Hautajaisyö is set to release their third studio album On Vain Pimeys on November 13th 2020 via Inverse Records. New single “Kuolonkantaja” is released today.
Vocalist Janne Partanen comments: "Kuolonkantaja (deathbearer) was written many years ago, but it found it's place now in the upcoming album. It is a good bridge from the second album to the new album. Song is a mix of brutality and the melodic side of Hautajaisyö. Lyrics tell about fear of death and how society handless the inevitable. ‘We walk on lines, depend on others, but still fear each other’"
