The wait is almost over: With “Endless”, Estonia’s metalcore force PRIDIAN are releasing their fourth and last single from their upcoming record “Venetian Dark”, which will officially be out in its full glory May 16th, 2025, via Century Media Records. While “Endless” is being released with an impactful music video, the quartet shows once more what Estonia’s metal scene has to offer, raising the anticipation for their upcoming record.
“Venetian Dark” is available for pre-order & pre-save.
Vocalist Laur Lindmäe shares about the inspiration for “Venetian Dark”:
“Venice itself holds a profound history of resilience – falling and being reborn many times. Ingeniously built atop a lagoon to thrive amidst water, the city continuously battles the forces of nature: sinking foundations and encroaching tides. Despite being slowly devoured by the sea, its people persist in preserving its beauty, culture, and history. The album tells the story of a journey through darkness and despair toward a new state of being – a possible transformation or rebirth.”
He shares as the inspiration for “Endless”:
“There’s something about the way they look at me now. Like I’m a symbol of something I never agreed to. A shape. A signal. A convincing surface. I’ve kept quiet long enough for them to mistake that for agreement. I’ve stood in their ceremonies, watched them raise empty words like banners. I echo their language without saying anything of my own. Not because I believe, but because it’s easier than being exposed. They don’t want truth. They want symmetry. Clean lines. No noise. I can still feel – The thing they’ve forgotten how to name. And I know they see it flicker in me, even if they don’t understand it. Maybe that’s why they keep me close. Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of.”
Society moves like a machine: polished, efficient, and emotionally numb. It performs belief but doesn’t feel it. It repeats the shape of meaning, but not the soul of it.”
