Italian Modern Metallers TYSTNADEN have premiered their new single and artful video for ‘Forsaken’, taken from the band’s upcoming album “The Black Swan”, set to be released on September 13th via Elevate Records.
TYSTNADEN explain the thematic background of their
new single and the video for “Forsaken”:
“We are concerned with the terrible topic of war and all the immense suffering that still emanates from it – all of us who are doing well in our everyday lives should always be aware of this.
‘Forsaken’ reveals what we’ve become used to: brutality and pain as an alarming norm. Those living in this harsh reality soon fade into oblivion.
In the music video, only the eyes of the pure can pierce through the brutality to truly see the hate and suffering. Confronted with an animated cubist painting, Anna begins to witness everything, feeling the pain, fear, and abandonment in her own flesh.
The adults and the less pure remain blind to this reality; for a moment, Anna even sees them as part of the brutality. But eventually, everything returns to normal, as that’s how we all continue to move forward, even the purest. And thus, they remain forsaken.”

Note: this album features songs with single-word titles, a stylistic choice that reflects the band’s belief that the impact, strength and intensity of a single word can communicate more than many …
After years of silence, the Italian band returned to their strengths in 2023 and began to cultivate their roots with a valuable maturity. And so the songs that make up their new album “The Black Swan” were brought to vibrant life.
TYSTNADEN have entrusted the production of their new album to Fabio D’Amore (Serenity, Perchta) at Synonym Of Sound Studio, which is located between Silz in Austria and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy.
The mix of this fourth album benefits from the collaboration with Francesco Marzona and the title is a tribute to Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s 2007 essay in which he discussed the powerful effects of rare and unpredictable events and the human tendency to find simple explanations for these events after the fact.
This theory has since become known as the “Black Swan Theory”.
TYSTNADEN say about their new album:
“As adult human beings, we’re accustomed to making decisions based on our experiences, roughly calculating some risks, and relying on predictions…
We often overlook the existence and significance of black swans, which can sometimes lead to disastrous consequences. Let’s embrace uncertainty, open the eyes of our minds and hearts.”
Band explains about the new photo (top above):
“In this image, each of us wears an emotion.
Our faces have been distorted, just as war distorts souls and everyday reality.
We are part of a normality that should not be considered normal.
With this, we unveil the first layer of the intricate journey that gave birth to the
new single and video ‘Forsaken‘.
The face painting blends the horror of war with the beauty of art.”
