EUPHROSYNE Launch New Video ‘Funeral Rites’ from Upcoming Album

Euphrosyne, the groundbreaking post-black metal band from Greece, has officially signed with Black Lion Records in 2024 and is now excited to present their latest video for the second single “Funeral Rites .” This track serves as a preview for the band’s highly anticipated debut album Morus, set to be released on March 21st, 2025.

““‘Funeral Rites’ is one of the darkest songs on Morus. With an immersive and atmospheric way, it tells the story of the ceremony at the burial of the Mother. The beginning of the track is a dark narration of how it feels to carry the dead and how you project yourself as one of them. Following a rough outbreak, feelings of guilt, anger, and despair are released. The song ends with a redemptive chorus and the wish that one day we’ll meet those who have been lost from our lives.”

“Funeral Rites” was mixed and mastered by Psychon(Septicflesh), with the vocals tracked at Sound Abuse Productions studio. Video Directed by Manos G (U217) Actors: Alexandra Katsinelou, Bill Katsaitis, Marianne Baxevanidou, Panos Leakos

Morus is an experiential concept album inspired by the true story of the loss of Alex Despotidis’s Mother from cancer on 2017. The narration begins with the realization of death and the feelings surrounding it until the final embrace, continues with the existential question “what happens after all comes to pass” and the depiction of pain and suffering. It moves forward towards the acceptance of the image of the person who is losing the battle and the last journey forwards the Asphodel Meadows, the section of the ancient Greek underworld where the majority of souls were sent to live after death. The music has been written by Alex Despotidis and the lyrics by Efi Eva, the mixing and mastering by Psychon (Septicflesh) and the artwork, as well as the photoshooting of the band, by Dimitris Tzortzis.
