Illustrious visionary aesthetes ARIA BLAKE along with professional opera singer Tanya, dropped a new music video for “𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐚” on Wednesday, Feb. 25ᵗʰ!

The song out of their fantastic EP “As Night Descends” features awesome guest guitar appearance by Mr. Roland Grapow, widely known from Helloween, Masterplan, etc.

The band announces:
“This video offers many fantastic shots, symbolism, visual arts references and of course lots for the ears to enjoy. You will be able to fully dive into 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐊𝐄’s universe and we promise you, it’s a very dark one.  
Catch the premiere with us on Wednesday, tell a friend, comment, like, share, support your Symphonic Metal.🤘🏻”

FFO: Nightwish, Epica, Xandria

Roland Grapow himself wishes the band good luck with the new release:
“I would like to thank ARIA BLAKE for letting me be part of the song. It’s a great track with a cool video and It is an honor for me to play such a fitting solo for this.”

LYRICS

Forgive me father for I have sinned
I can’t go on acting like this.
Won’t you guide me through the mist?
I know I don’t deserve to call your name
I implore you to put out that flame
burning me in remorse and shame!
Won’t you guide me?
CONFITEOR DEO OMNIPOTENTI,
BEATAE MARIAE SEMPER VIRGINI,
QUIA PECCAVI NIMIS
VERBO ET OPERE,
MEA CULPA,
MAXIMA CULPA.

Under the gaze of stony faces,
with prayers as bedtime stories,
every night I blacken their dreams.
Who am I to decide who will be next?
I’ve just open Pandora’s chest
and I’ll go down with all of them…
unless You guide me.
CONFITEOR DEO OMNIPOTENTI,
BEATAE MARIAE SEMPER VIRGINI,
QUIA PECCAVI NIMIS
VERBO ET OPERE,
MEA CULPA,
MAXIMA CULPA
