Electronic Heavy Gothic Rockers ORDER Release Thought-Provoking New Single ‘Digital Tear’

After releasing their impressive debut single “Terminal Phase” earlier this year, ORDER today unveils their powerful second single, “Digital Tear“. Infused with futuristic electronic elements and the dark atmosphere of heavy gothic rock, the track was produced by the band’s trusted producer, Lauri Hämäläinen, who also worked on the debut release.

ORDER is a duo formed by two familiar names from the Finnish metal scene: Saku Solin (Turmion Kätilöt, Fear of Domination) and Daniel Tähkä, whose long-hidden musical talents have previously been seen mainly through the lens of a camera.

The message behind Digital Tear is dark, but challenging people to think critically is more important now than ever.

“‘Digital Tear’ is a powerful journey into ORDER’s dystopian world and state of mind. At the same time, I found myself wondering how far removed it really is from the world we live in. The boundaries are already becoming blurred, morality increasingly appears to be little more than an objective guideline, and humanity itself is questionable in many ways,” says Solin, continuing:

“It inevitably raises the question of whether an apocalyptic scenario, humanity becoming machine-like, or the rise of artificial intelligence would necessarily be such a bad thing. What if, in the end, we are the villains of the story while some other force watches our journey toward the inevitable and sheds a single digital tear?”

Daniel takes the thought even further.

“Humanity loves inventing new ways to destroy itself, and some of the things described in this song
may already have happened without us even noticing. Maybe one day an advanced AI will dig our bones out of the sand and wonder about them the same way we wonder about fossils.”

A music video for the song, illustrated by Milla Rissanen and animated by Lotta Ruutiainen, has also been created for “Digital Tear”. The video will be released through the band’s channels as well as those of Blood Blast Distribution, which distributes ORDER’s music worldwide.
